Milk
Have you ever heard that milk can be used to treat heartburn?
This piece of advice is surprisingly popular these days considering that it’s actually not working!

If you’re having acid reflux, start paying attention to what you’re eating and figure out whether milk causes it or not.
This unpleasant symptom might sometimes be linked to a hidden lactose intolerance. Our post right here can help you figure out if you’re secretly lactose intolerant as well.
