General information, not medical advice or a treatment claim. Reactions are individual. If heartburn or reflux is frequent, severe or persistent, see a doctor.
Tips
- Large drink volumes can worsen reflux for some people, so split this into two small servings.
- Sip slowly rather than drinking it all at once.
- Blend until fully smooth so the oats are soft and easy to digest.
