Why is it bad to drink coffee on an empty stomach?!


Question: Coffee stimulates gastric acid to secrete. If this acid is secreted in high amount, then it eats up the gastric mucosa. If this continues, then gastritis or ulcer may develop. Therefore, it is healthier to eat some breakfast in the morning with your coffee.

no idea

What? Thats the first I heard of that!

It produce more gas in the stomach.

because coffee is acidic, so it can upset your stomach. If you have sensitive stomach or ulcers, it can give you really bad heartburn.
I do it all the time, but I am used to it, so it doesn't bother me.

It will only cause you first; an ulcer if you indulge in it for a long time.

Secondly, it will graduate into making you nervous.

Do you like the effect?

Please dont.

it is very acidic and could upset your stomach. though a lot of people do drink it on an empty stomach.
