I love chocolate. Recently I found that I would have a stomachache. Is it caused by chocolate?

    In general, eating chocolate alone is not the source of the problem, but the excess of chocolate. A small piece of chocolate is fine. But if a patient with gastroesophageal reflux disease eats a small piece, it can cause problems. This is because chocolate relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, causing stomach acid reflux and causing stomach pain.
