Is Trader Joe's Chocolate Croissant GERD Friendly?

Description
Flaky, layered pastry with a rich chocolate presence, offering a crisp exterior and a softer, slightly tender interior. Commonly enjoyed warm for breakfast or as a sweet snack alongside coffee; reviewers praise the chocolate flavor and flakiness, while some report uneven filling distribution or slight dryness after storage over time.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- cocoa butter
- semisweet chocolate
- unsweetened chocolate
- milk
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.
