Yes, plain curd rice can be given in a small portion for mild indigestion if the person usually tolerates milk products.
Tips:
Keep it plain and lightly seasoned. Avoid chilli, pickle, fried tempering, excess ghee, and very sour curd.
Use fresh, room-temperature curd, not cold from the refrigerator.
Eat slowly and in a small quantity.
Avoid it if it worsens bloating, gas, loose stools, or if the person has lactose intolerance. Dairy can cause wind and diarrhea in lactose intolerance, as the NHS notes.
For acidity or burning, bland foods and smaller meals are usually better. There is no strong evidence that any specific diet cures functional dyspepsia, so individual triggers matter (Family Medicine textbook).
Seek medical care urgently for severe/persistent pain, repeated vomiting, black stools, blood in vomit/stool, fever, dehydration, or unintended weight loss.
