Tracey Brigman, a licensed nutritionist and clinical adjunct instructor in the College of Family and Consumer Sciences’ nutritional sciences division, conveyed to DailyMail.com which beverages to steer clear of when the stomach is vacant.

As per specialists, caffeine can prompt the stomach to generate excess acid, resulting in reflux-related symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, persistent coughing, bad odor from the mouth, and bloating.

“Caffeine is absorbed more rapidly on an empty stomach, which may amplify any adverse effects,” Brigman stated.

To avert complications, coffee enthusiasts might consider consuming a small, protein-rich snack prior to ingesting caffeine.

Fizzing beverages can also lead to stomach disturbances. Brigman remarked that they can instantly result in “bloating and unease.”
