The answer to the question can chocolate give you heartburn is yes. Chocolate contains a high amount of butterfat and sugar, which can make you have bad reactions with your stomach.

One of the most surprising things is that some people who are allergic to milk actually don’t have a reaction to chocolate. This leads us to believe that there is something else in chocolate that makes it work differently for these individuals.

Heartburn is most often caused by eating too much fat and sugar at once. It can also cause heartburn if you eat too many chocolate or drink too many cocktails with high-fat liquors.
