10 Foods That Cause Heartburn
Heartburn Causing Food #10: Full-Fat Dairy Products
Dairy products are food produced from milk usually obtained from cattle, goats, and sheep. Dairy products include cheese, butter, yogurt, and many more. Throughout the years, increasing health awareness has led to the production of low-fat products. However, whole-fat or full-fat products have been reported to be a notorious cause of heartburn.
Just like fatty meats, full-fat dairy products have a higher fat content that leads to the release of the hormone cholecystokinin. This hormone relaxes the gastroesophageal sphincter and results in heartburn. Low-fat dairy products do not seem to cause heartburn.
