I will def be trying this since it's the second time that I've seen it, my problem with acid reflux is that i drink a lot of coffee and without it I am sleepy.

Stress impacts it a lot. Coffee does I still drink, like a lot. 8 cups.

Since quitting cigs it's 80% better. And yeah I definitely 'feel' some muscle in my stomach is the issue.

For me, it wasn't the coffee it was the caffeine. Switched to decaf and my acid reflex disappeared nearly instantly. Try slowly swapping out 1 cup of regular for decaf, followed by another, followed by another, until you are off of regular coffee entirely. Over a surprisingly short-ish time, that "I feel sleepy without coffee" thing will go away and if you're in the same boat as me, your reflux will disappear too.

It's worth an honest attempt. For me, a part of my issue was the type of coffee I drank: more fruity coffee gave me bad silent GERD (causing random gag-reflex). I switched to French roast and had less problems, to the point I didn't need PPIs.
