Drinking coffee triggers gastroesophageal acid reflux in adults.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that drinking coffee triggers gastroesophageal acid reflux in adults?

Partly. Evidence is mixed and only partial: a large meta-analysis reports a small, statistically significant association between coffee use and GERD of unclear clinical significance, while one cohort study found no association between coffee drinking and reflux symptoms or erosive esophagitis. A clinic explainer and an Ayurvedic review also list coffee among possible triggers, but neither settles a general causal claim.
