SafeYes. This ingredient is generally considered compatible with a Gerd diet.
Ethylene and the GERD Friendly Diet
Ethylene is a colorless gas that acts as a plant hormone, playing a crucial role in the ripening process of fruits and vegetables. In the food industry, it is often used to accelerate ripening and enhance the color of produce such as bananas, tomatoes, and avocados. While ethylene itself is naturally occurring, commercial production of ethylene can sometimes involve sources like corn, making it a potential concern for those with corn allergies or sensitivities.
