Is Ex-Lax Regular Strength Chocolated Stimulant Laxative 48 ea GERD Friendly?
Why it's not GERD friendly
- inactive cocoa powder
- milk
inactive cocoa powder
Dietitian noteCocoa contains compounds that can relax the lower esophageal sphincter, making it easier for stomach acid to reflux. It also stimulates the production of stomach acid, further contributing to heartburn and GERD symptoms. Additionally, cocoa's caffeine and theobromine content can exacerbate reflux by increasing stomach acidity and relaxing the LES.
