High fat diary, like whole milk or heavy cream, used in caffeinated regular tea can irritate the gut and contribute to indigestion and heartburn in some people. Some individuals with GERD can tolerate the small amounts of dairy milk and caffeine in tea. It is important to learn how different foods and in what amounts influence your symptoms. This can be done by keeping a daily food journal or food and beverage log.
