The caffeine in coffee can indeed provide a calming effect for our brains, but some people will feel heartburn after drinking coffee. Then, what is the reason we heartburn after drinking coffee?
A study published in 1990 in a journal gastro enterologi found that coffee induces "gastrocolonic response" in some individuals after they drank coffee. However, this study failed to identify the cause of the response. Researchers hypothesize that coffee, somehow, was able to affect the epithelial tissue that lines the stomach and small intestine.
The study also found that coffee causes the release of gastrin. Hormone produced in the stomach and is known to increase motor activity in the colon. Colon closest to the rectum, the study concluded that there could be an increase in the activity of the laxative effect of coffee. This may be the reason we heartburn after drinking coffee.
