Is Hershey's Chipits Dark Chocolate GERD Friendly?

Description
Small dark-chocolate chips deliver a rich, slightly bitter cocoa flavor with a smooth, glossy texture that melts readily. Commonly used in baking cookies, brownies, and desserts, they also serve as baking accents or melted coatings.

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.
