Does milk help acid reflux?

Some people find that drinking milk alleviates the burning sensation associated with acid reflux. However, some kinds of milk can make your symptoms worse – whole milk, for example, contains a lot of fat, which is a known reflux-trigger. You may find that a low-fat version or an alternative type of milk, such as almond milk, is better.
