Status: Not recommended
Butter is classified as not recommended for Acid Reflux based on current dietary assessments. Oils and fats provide essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins; the type of fatty acids is nutritionally significant. With acid reflux, the focus is on avoiding triggers that may affect the lower oesophageal sphincter or influence gastric acid production. The reasoning given is: high fat content delays gastric emptying strongly. The assessment is supported by a broad evidence base.
