Is Coca-Cola Zero GERD Friendly?

Description
Dark, cola-like flavor with pronounced carbonation and a smooth, lingering mouthfeel; many reviewers note a crisp, slightly less sweet profile compared with original cola. Commonly served cold with casual meals, used as a mixer for cocktails, and carried for on-the-go refreshment; customers often mention consistent, reliable fizz and packaging convenience.
Why it's not GERD friendly

- carbonated water
caffeine
Dietitian noteCaffeine can exacerbate GERD symptoms in some individuals. It can relax the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) - this muscle acts as a barrier between the esophagus and stomach. When relaxed, it can allow stomach acid to flow back up into the esophagus, leading to heartburn Caffeine can also increase the production of stomach acid, further irritating the already inflamed esophageal lining.
