I am suffering from reflux or hernia not sure for some time now while cycling, most interesting past is that reflux is always activated on every downhill but goes away while climbing, I am stuck now on home bike without any reflux problem, any help are appreciated!

What are you eating before rides? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

nothing just coffe

Kill the coffee and see what happens. Could be extra acid from that or add some carbs before your ride. When I have issues it's usually diet related Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Coffee isn't particularly acidic. It has a pH of about 5. By comparison, orange juice is around 3.5 and your stomach can get as low as 1.5 when you're digesting food. These are big differences because pH is on a log scale.

Do brands of coffee have a different pH? coffee almost always cause reflux for me. -
I suspect coffee pH is pretty similar across brands. A little reading indicates that coffee is known to cause reflux but it isn't very clear what component of it is responsible: http://www.healthline.com/health/gerd/coffee-tea and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7918922 However, other studies indicate that coffee will only promote reflux if it is drunk on an empty stomach: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10563539 As usual with these things, YMMV.

Coffee does it to me, a little is OK, too much yuk!

If you must coffee and want lower ph look up civit. Or just do a cold press coffee and ph goes way down Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
