Good evening, people. I drink every morning coffee. I don’t eat breakfast, so I take coffee on an empty stomach. Lately, I started to feel acid reflux in my stomach. Is this normal? I would like to know how coffee affects your empty stomach. I would really appreciate this. Thanks in advance.

Hello. Coffee shouldn’t be drunk on an empty stomach. I used to do that. Coffee stimulates gastric acid to secrete. If this acid is secreted in high amount, then it eats up the gastric mucosa. If this continues, then gastritis or ulcer may develop. That is why it is better to take little food in the morning and after that your morning coffee. It is healthier. You won’t feel heartburn anymore. I hope you’ll listen to my advice. Bye!
