10 Foods That Cause Acid Reflux
Acid Reflux Causing Food #2: Chocolate
Chocolate is one of those luxury foods that we should only treat ourselves to in moderation. It’s not necessarily that it is expensive because it often isn’t. It is high in calories, though, and this can cause us to become obese. It can also trigger heartburn in some people.
Depending on which type of chocolate you are eating, it can be high in fat and this can cause acid reflux. In addition, chocolate also contains compounds such as serotonin that cause the esophageal sphincter to relax. Trying dark chocolate over other types might help to prevent acid reflux from being triggered.
