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.

Great snack if you’re missing Cheetos

The natural flavors in this product do not appear to contain any FODMAPs and are instead cheeses. If you’re severely lactose intolerant, this may pose a problem, but it hasn’t impacted me at all. The rest are artificial. These are great little snacks, I can eat my weight in these and am fine. I am super sensitive to fructans, and I’ve not reacted to these. This is actually actually one of my safe foods when I’m not feeling the best.
