Is Coke Zero bad for acid reflux?
If you have acid reflux and you drink soda (e. Coke Pepsi), you should know that it is the worst thing for your reflux that you can consume. Almost all soft drinks … soda, fruit juice, energy drinks, and seltzer … have the same pH (acidity) as stomach acid. Many things can cause chest pain after drinking soda. Often the problem stems from the gut rather than the heart. Carbonation adds gas to the stomach. That gas can stretch the stomach and push upward against the lower esophagus.
