Chocolate Bar with Acid Reflux

Status: Not recommended

Chocolate Bar is classified as not recommended for Acid Reflux based on current dietary assessments. Sweets generally contain high amounts of sugar and saturated fats and are therefore included only sparingly in most dietary concepts. 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: cocoa contains theobromine and caffeine, which weaken the esophageal sphincter; high fat content. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
