Yogurt - Fat
Hello,
I have been asked to take yogurt for my GERD and digestion problems. When i take whole plain milk yogurt it increases my acidity and makes my digestion problem worse. Is fat the only reason for aggravation in GERD symptoms? If so, can i try no fat milk yogurt?

May be lactose intolerance, and since gerd is reflux of gastric juices into the esophagus taking yogurt probably won't help consult a physician and start on prokinetic drugs which could be of help, try to sleep in left lateral position.

Maybe you are lactose intolerant, so whenever you take milk or any diary products you might feel your symptoms are getting more worse, so
Don’t try any diary product for a week and see.

To rule any other causes for your gastric issues.
