Is Mounds Dark Chocolate Coconut Filled GERD Friendly?

Rich, bittersweet notes and a sweet, tropical filling combine with a firm, glossy exterior and a chewy, slightly fibrous interior, creating a contrast of smoothness and texture.

cocoa butter
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.
