What are the best options for beverages or drinks if you have GERD or acid reflux?

For GERD or acid reflux, water is the best beverage choice to stay hydrated without irritating the stomach. Herbal teas, particularly ginger or chamomile, can soothe the digestive system, while aloe vera juice may also help reduce inflammation. Non-citrus smoothies, such as those made from bananas or melons, are gentle on the stomach. Avoid caffeinated drinks, alcohol, and carbonated beverages, which can worsen acid reflux symptoms. Opt for plant-based milks over cow’s milk if lactose sensitivity is an issue.
