30 Foods That Cause Acid Reflux

Chocolate

Chocolate

Few things are as bad as being told you probably shouldn't eat chocolate. Unfortunately, it's pretty bad for you. It's high in fat, so it takes a while to digest. It also has caffeine, which can cause stomach acid to come up the esophageal sphincter.

Not only is it high in fat, but cocoa powder also a trigger. Cocoa can cause your esophagus to relax, which allows acid to creep up from the stomach. In this case, chocolate is sadly off-limits for those with reflux.
