Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to assist you.
You have mentioned that you have "acid burn" in your stomach. There could be a possible peptic ulcer.
Drinking water and eno alone will not provide relief. You need to take PPI medications like omeprazole for relief.
An upper GI endoscopy should be done to look for peptic ulcer. One of the common causes is H.pylori infection. You need to get tested for this infection and if found positive, it has to be treated for complete relief from your symptoms.
So fix an appointment with your gastroenterologist for an endoscopy. Till then take OTC omeprazole for pain relief.
I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
Coffee and tea do not cause acidity. But these can worsen the symptoms of an already existing acidity problem.
The two most common causes are - H pylori infection and intake of pain killer medications.
