Rice Milk and Heartburn: What You Need to Know

Rice milk does not cure heartburn; it often triggers it due to high acidity and carbohydrate content, which increases stomach acid production. Unlike dairy (which can neutralize acid), rice milk irritates the esophageal lining, worsening burning.

For heartburn relief, choose low-fat dairy, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables. Lifestyle changes: avoid caffeine/spicy foods, eat smaller meals, elevate head during sleep.
