I really doubt it! GERD is linked to lower esophageal sphincter problems. Some factors that contribute to GERD are consumption of certain foods and beverages (spicy, fatty, and carbonated), alcohol, various medications (sedatives and calcium channel blockers), smoking tobacco, and consuming large meals. Olive oil is not among them.
I just attended a medical conference where olive and olive oil research was presented to over 300 physicians and there is more and more evidence that olives and olive oil which is foundational to the mediterranean diet are the key to healthy living. GERD has a physiological cause and is linked to other factors including obesity, yeast and candida bacteria present, food sensitities (i.e. gluten intolerance), functional performance of esophegeal muscles, among others.
