Get your daily coffee fix without risking stomach distress! Unfortunately, over 30% of coffee drinkers experience upper gastro-intestinal distress such as heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion and sour stomach. Although caffeine has long been blamed as the culprit for such symptoms, studies suggest pH level — which measures acidity — is more responsible.

Dark roast coffee tends to be easier on the stomach. They feature lower acidity levels and less compounds that activate stomach cells to produce acids, according to registered dietitian Andrew Akhaphong, RDN. He suggests searching for organic fair trade beans from high altitude regions which have lower acidity levels.

Tyler’s Coffee offers another solution with their innovative Z-Roasting process to lower acidity levels in their blend, creating a creamy and flavorful beverage with up to 50% less acid than leading coffee brands. Enjoy Tyler’s with creamer or even just on its own – its acidity levels have been reduced!

Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Fresh Ground Decaf Coffee should also be considered. Crafted with 100 percent organic Arabica beans and roasted at a lower temperature than most coffees to reduce chlorogenic acid levels that cause acid reflux, indigestion and heartburn symptoms, its flavor profile includes chocolate, nuts and tangerine notes reminiscent of chocolate bars or nuts; plus it has been certified under USDA National Organic Program as free from mold mycotoxins that could harm your health – perfect for anyone on a sensitive digestive diet!
