Is Carnaby Gummy Worm GERD Friendly?

Description
Fruity, multi-flavored gummy worms deliver a soft, chewy texture with a slightly tart tang; reviewers often note consistent flavor and freshness. Commonly used as a casual snack, party candy, or decorative topping for desserts and baked goods. Some customers report variation in firmness between batches and a high sweetness level.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
- pork gelatin
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.
