👨‍⚕️Dr. Boss 的一般外科衛教室 👨‍⚕️Dr. Boss’s General Surgery Health Classroom 食道迷思 ④ | Esophagus Myth #4 喝牛奶可以改善胃食道逆流嗎？ Can milk relieve acid reflux? 有些人出現胃食道逆流或胸口灼熱時，會喝牛奶來緩解不適。 Some people drink milk to relieve discomfort when they experience acid reflux or heartburn. 牛奶確實可能在短時間內減少灼熱感，但並不一定能真正改善胃食道逆流。 Milk may temporarily reduce the burning sensation, but it does not necessarily solve acid reflux. 因為牛奶中的脂肪與蛋白質可能刺激胃酸分泌，反而讓症狀再次出現。 The fat and protein in milk may stimulate stomach acid production, which can cause symptoms to return. --- 為什麼會有這個感覺？ | Why does milk seem helpful? 1️⃣ 短暫中和胃酸 牛奶能暫時減少胃酸刺激。 Milk may temporarily neutralize stomach acid. 2️⃣ 液體包覆食道 喝下去時會讓食道感覺比較舒緩。 The liquid may coat the esophagus briefly and reduce irritation. 3️⃣ 但可能刺激胃酸分泌 脂肪與蛋白質可能讓胃酸再次增加。 Fat and protein may stimulate further acid production. --- 💡日常建議 | Daily Tips 若有胃食道逆流問題，可以注意以下習慣： 避免暴飲暴食 Avoid overeating 減少油炸、辛辣與刺激性食物 Limit fried, spicy, and irritating foods 餐後保持直立 30 分鐘以上 Stay upright for at least 30 minutes after meals --- 考拉問問題 | Koala Asks Q：考拉問：那有胃食道逆流的人可以喝牛奶嗎？ Q: Koala asks: Can people with acid reflux still drink milk? A：Dr. Boss： 適量飲用通常沒有問題，但若喝牛奶後症狀變明顯，建議減少攝取或選擇低脂牛奶。 Moderate intake is usually fine, but if symptoms worsen after drinking milk, consider reducing intake or choosing low-fat milk.
