Is Great Value Tomato Paste, 12 oz GERD Friendly?

Description
Concentrated tomato flavor with a thick, smooth paste texture, commonly stirred into sauces, soups, stews, and marinades to deepen color and taste. Reviewers frequently note its economical value and reliable consistency; some report needing to cook it briefly to mellow a slight tinny note after opening from metal packaging thereafter.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
- tomato pulp
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.
