No, it can't cause the disease, but it does cause heartburn. I think it's the carbonation mostly, because diet sodas give me heartburn. Try switching to something diet and uncarbonated, or have one regular coke a day. Still, if you have damage like ulcers from the acid reflux, don't drink anything carbonated because that will just exacerbate the problem.
My father has had acid reflux for 3 years. According to his doctor , yes it is true that acid reflux can be a result of high carbonated drinks like;Mountaint Dew, Pepsi, Coke and Ginger Ale have been know to cause acid reflux. Simple use water in place of that drink and double the amount
