@debmoy A study published in 2011assessed the relationship between cow’s milk and acid reflux. 81 children with signs and symptoms of acid reflux were enrolled in this study. All subjects received a medication called omeprazole to reduce stomach acid for four weeks. Even with the medication, 27 of these participants still experienced symptoms. Researchers then eliminated dairy from their diets. All 27 participants showed significant improvement in their symptoms. The researchers concluded that milk allergy and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are linked.
