citric acid

Dietitian note

Citric acid, a common food additive, is a known GERD trigger due to its high acidity, which can directly irritate the esophagus. It can also weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and cause heartburn. Furthermore, even small amounts of citric acid can significantly increase stomach acid production, worsening reflux symptoms.

Description

Bright, fruit-forward flavors deliver sweet-tart profiles across packets; powder dissolves into a slightly grainy, quick-mixing drink with occasional sediment if not shaken. Commonly used for on-the-go hydration, lunchbox or travel flavoring, reviewers cite convenient single-serve packaging, variable flavor intensity, and occasional lingering aftertaste.
