Can I drink skim milk although I have Gerd?

just because you have GERD doesn't mean you can't drink milk. GERD is basically chronic heartburn. You should focus more on staying upright for a while after eating, staying away from spicy foods, and eating healthier in general. What happens with GERD is the valve between your esophagus and your stomach doesn't close all the way or tends to relax and open allowing your stomach acid to back up into your esophagus causing the burning sensation. The acid is basically digesting your esophagus so you want to try to minimize this as much as possible. Hope this helps. Good luck and feel better.

Generally GERD does tend to be irritated by foods that are fatty/spicy or both, so in principle you should have no problems drinking skimmed milk. You may even find that it eases the symptoms.
