Everyone may be a little different in what does and does not trigger acid reflux. For myself, I can not consume any coffee or real teas, even the caffeine free varieties will trigger reflux for me. Some people find that hot cocoa is a trigger (both milk and chocolate are triggers for some people). However, I'm fortunate enough to be able to drink hot cocoa with no reflux. Chamomile tea (herbal tea - not a real tea) is a safe drink for most with acid reflux - as it is also used as a mild relaxant and stomach soothing drink. I prefer my Chamomile tea with a splash of milk and a tiny bit of sugar. Do not drink peppermint tea, however, since it will generally relax the muscle that allows the acid to come up - and you'll experience reflux again. (Strangely, I have no issue with peppermint candies - only tea - but peppermint is supposed to be universally unaccepted by people with real GERD). Some hot apple cider (not the alcoholic variety) with or without spices such as cinnamon, ginger, and/or nutmeg can be non-triggering - but I wouldn't drink too many cups in one sitting since apple juice / cider is a bit acidic.

Many people like the coffee alternative drinks called Pero and Caffix and some others. I can not stand the taste - but supposedly they do not trigger reflux. Postum was another safe alternative drink, however it has been discontinued (end of 2007) by Kraft foods after about 100 years of availability.

Some herbal teas also may be safe - but try to avoid any that contain citrus peel, as I've personally found them irritating.

Wish I could name more safe drinks. It's difficult.

Alternative Remedies For Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux is a very common health problem that affects millions. It has a number of causes, ranging from poor diet to stress and physical abnormalities in the digestive system. Medication is often prescribed for severe chronic acid reflux, but it has severely negative effects on digestion that hamper the ability to absorb nutrients. Before resorting to medication, sufferers may wish to give some of the below remedies a try and see if they can reduce their symptoms in a healthier way.Lifestyle ChangesCertain changes in living habits can make all the difference for many acid reflux patients. By eating less sugar and fat, one can improve digestion considerably. Eating smaller portions can reduce the likelihood of overloading the stomach and causing reflux. Since nighttime acid reflux is particularly problematic for many, it is recommended to make the last meal of the day light and at least 2-3 hours before bedtime. Additional ways to prevent acid reflux include not lying down or bending over after a large meal.Natural Acid Reflux TreatmentsSome of the best remedies for acid reflux are cheap and available at the grocery. The best of them, without a doubt, is fresh ginger. The root can be juiced, peeled and eaten in small pieces, shredded and put on a salad, or even made into a hot tea by steeping thin slices in boiling water. Many find they are able to quit using their acid reflux medication after discovering ginger! Another way to treat reflux is to have a sip of vinegar after a greasy meal--any type will do, as it is the acidity helping the stomach cut through fat and protein that makes it effective. Walking is an excellent way to improve poor digestion that causes acid reflux. The stomach is moved and relaxed by walking and becomes less prone to reflux as a result.Since stress often plays such a large part in causing acid reflux, relaxation techniques can ease symptoms for many patients as well.

Why does thermos keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold?

A thermos keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold by using a vacuum layer between two walls of the container. This vacuum layer prevents heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation.
