Is Ben's Original Ready Rice Whole Grain Brown GERD Friendly?

Description
Microwaveable ready rice delivers mild, nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture, with separate grains that hold shape after heating. Commonly used as a quick side, base for bowls, or with stir-fries; shoppers often praise fast prep and consistent results while noting occasional packaging or reheating variability across batches and appearance.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
- garlic
citric acid
Dietitian noteCitric 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.
