Hello, I am 32 years old. I have gastritis problem for last one year. I get heart burn and burping. Whenever I eat anything, I feel full after only having little amount. I have dyspepsia. I am trying to find out the food or source that is causing the issue. I drink tea a lot. I am a teacher by profession. I interact with people and my student. That is why I need to energize myself. Does drinking tea induce gastritis? Please comment.

@sunil Tea, the beverage processed from Camellia sinensis, has been considered a healthy drinking with beneficial effects like anti-aging and antidiabetic for thousands of years. However, tea is also related to some clinical symptoms including heartburn and reflux. Tea consumption is reported to be associated with GERD, especially in Asian population. Theoretically, theophylline, a component of tea, may contribute to relax the left esophageal sphincter, leading to esophageal acid reflux. In observational studies, some case–control studies have reported that there is no correlation between GERD and tea consumption, while other studies suggested a positive association between tea drinking and the risk of GERD. Thus, the effect of tea drinking on GERD risk is still controversial.
