Do you get heartburn from dairy products?

You don't have to stop consuming these nutritious, high-protein food altogether! Choose skim milk instead of whole milk, low-fat or non-fat dairy products, and consume dairy in smaller portions over the course of the day instead of one big meal will help alleviate heartburn symtoms.

While eating, avoid drinking too much liquid, as this makes your stomach work harder and lead to indigestion.

Skim milk (no fat!) may also relieve some heatburn symptoms, but don't lie down at least 30 minutes after drinking!

Want to learn more about heartburn?

'Heartburn friendly' cookies will be served.
