Decaf CoffeePods – Acid Free Coffee For Acid Reflux and GERD
Coffee has long been an integral part of daily life for millions, providing a comforting ritual or energy boost; and providing health benefits like teeth-friendly chlorogenic acid antioxidants.
But if you suffer from heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), coffee could be harmful to your stomach. Luckily, there are ways you can still include coffee in your diet without upsetting your system.
Caffeine
Coffee has long been an integral part of life, whether as part of their morning wakeup ritual or evening wind-down tradition. Furthermore, it is an ingredient used in many recipes and can add depth of flavor. Unfortunately for some due to heartburn or GERD symptoms they cannot enjoy regular coffee; therefore low acid coffee offers relief for these individuals.
Our Keurig K-Cup compatible low acid coffee pods are brewed from USDA Organic Chiapas coffee beans grown at high altitudes. After decaffeination using Swiss Water Process – which uses no chemicals – to preserve its original taste – so that you can enjoy an irresistibly satisfying cup of java! You don’t have to compromise taste either when choosing our pods!
Regular coffee is an acidic beverage, which may exacerbate heartburn and GERD symptoms. Our acid free decaf coffee has been carefully roasted and decaffeinated so as to significantly decrease its acid content; so that you can enjoy your beverage of choice without experiencing heartburn or GERD effects.
Our low acidity brews may even be healthier for you than traditional coffee, as the reduced acidity allows you to limit calorie consumption and support weight management.

As a result, you can use our beverages in baking recipes, soups and stews, hot chocolate, add strong coffee to hot chocolate for a delightful treat, marinades for meat or poultry or simply as treats in hot cocoa!
Acidity
Coffee’s acidity is often what gives it its delicious flavor; however, due to the beverage’s high levels of acidity many individuals suffer from acid reflux or GERD when drinking regular coffee.
GERD can cause serious damage to the esophagus if left untreated, including stricture formation and Barrett’s Esophagus which has been linked with cancer of the esophagus. Furthermore, this condition can interfere with your weight loss efforts by making you constantly hungry.
Most people mistakenly assume that coffee’s acidity causes acid reflux disease (GERD). However, research has demonstrated otherwise – caffeine rather than acidity is to blame! If you do suffer from acid reflux disease it would be wiser to switch over to decaf coffee rather than caffeinated coffee for best results.
Coffee’s acidity comes from chlorogenic acids, which are beneficial for health and provide a pleasant flavor. Studies have also linked these acids with helping reduce diabetes, inflammation, cancer and obesity – however as the longer coffee is roasted the greater its loss of chlorogenic acids. In addition, roasting processes release quinic acids which aren’t exactly good for you!
Our Keurig compatible low acid coffee pods use beans that have been naturally processed to lower their acidity level using TechnoRoasting technology, creating an exceptional cup with significantly less acidity than regular coffee.
Our Swiss Water decaf coffee offers another option that further reduces acidity of beans to create caffeine free coffee you can enjoy any time of day or night without disrupting your sleep cycle. Perfect for starting the day right or having an indulgent cup before retiring to bed at nighttime – plus use it in recipes such as chocolate-based desserts that become even tastier using this special decaf coffee!
Heartburn
Regular coffee’s acid can irritate your stomach and worsen heartburn symptoms, particularly if you already suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or other acidic-related conditions. Although some people opt to forgo this beverage altogether due to their GERD or heartburn symptoms, others can find ways to still enjoy its many pleasures without giving up this drink altogether – using decaf pods could be one effective strategy!
Decaf pods contain less acid than regular coffee, making them a safer option for your stomach. Furthermore, decaffeination reduces acid further; and our proprietary Z-Roasting method prevents blooming tannic and lipid acids which produce additional low acidity levels resulting in even lower acid levels in our coffee. Whether using Keurig K-Cup or another single serve brewer brewer, decaf pods offer you an enjoyable flavorful coffee experience without breaking your budget.
Just using low acid coffee won’t do it alone if you suffer from heartburn; other strategies are available that could help ease its symptoms. Drinking your cup with milk will dilute acidic flavors while making it taste less bitter and more enjoyable. You could also try adding baking soda as this neutralizes stomach acidity and therefore decreases heartburn episodes.
Reducing their intake of high-acid food and beverages can be a difficult challenge for many individuals, particularly those suffering from acid reflux or GERD. Many often struggle to give up enjoying hot beverages such as their morning cup of coffee.
Unfortunately, coffee’s acids can lead to heartburn and other discomforts that are painful or uncomfortable. If you suffer from GERD or acid reflux, however, this could seem like something you must give up completely; but with low-acid options such as Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Decaf Coffee you may still enjoy your morning cup while managing your condition with lower acid options such as Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Decaf Coffee.
When it comes to managing GERD and heartburn, speaking with your physician about your individual needs is paramount. There are various strategies you can employ in order to reduce its occurrence, such as eating smaller meals and avoiding certain foods or beverages that trigger symptoms. Furthermore, your physician may suggest over-the-counter or prescription medications in order to treat symptoms and help protect the esophagus against further damage.
GERD
Your body may force you to make concessions when it comes to enjoying food and beverages you love, such as dairy or nuts. Or maybe it’s the opposite – perhaps regular coffee brews trigger heartburn and GERD symptoms in you – yet switching to lower acid varieties could keep your daily coffee habit. But there is always an option available: try switching over for something with lower acid content.
