👨‍⚕️Dr. Boss 的一般外科衛教室 👨‍⚕️Dr. Boss’s General Surgery Health Classroom 食道迷思 ⑤ | Esophagus Myth #5 喝咖啡會傷食道嗎？ Does coffee harm the esophagus? 很多人擔心喝咖啡會傷胃或傷食道，因此有胃食道逆流的人常被建議少喝咖啡。 Many people worry that coffee may harm the stomach or esophagus, so individuals with acid reflux are often advised to limit coffee intake. 其實咖啡本身並不一定直接傷害食道，但咖啡因可能讓食道與胃之間的括約肌較為放鬆。 Coffee itself does not necessarily damage the esophagus directly, but caffeine may relax the lower esophageal sphincter. 當括約肌放鬆時，胃酸更容易逆流到食道，造成胸口灼熱或不適。 When this sphincter relaxes, stomach acid may reflux into the esophagus more easily, causing heartburn or discomfort. --- 咖啡可能帶來的影響 | Possible Effects of Coffee 1️⃣ 刺激胃酸分泌 咖啡可能增加胃酸分泌。 Coffee may increase stomach acid production. 2️⃣ 放鬆食道括約肌 可能讓胃酸較容易逆流。 It may relax the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing acid reflux. 3️⃣ 個人體質差異 有些人影響明顯，有些人則不一定。 The effect varies among individuals. --- 💡日常建議 | Daily Tips 如果有胃食道逆流，可以嘗試： 避免空腹喝咖啡 Avoid drinking coffee on an empty stomach 減少過量咖啡因攝取 Reduce excessive caffeine intake 觀察自己喝咖啡後是否出現症狀 Observe whether symptoms appear after drinking coffee --- 考拉問問題 | Koala Asks Q：考拉問：有胃食道逆流的人完全不能喝咖啡嗎？ Q: Koala asks: Do people with acid reflux need to stop drinking coffee completely? A：Dr. Boss： 不一定需要完全避免，但建議適量飲用，並觀察自己的身體反應。 Not necessarily. Moderate intake is usually acceptable, but it is important to observe your body's response.
