Dietitian note

Citrus fiber, even when isolated from the fruit, can still trigger GERD due to its inherent acidity, which may irritate the esophageal lining. While fiber is generally beneficial for digestion, citrus fiber's acidic nature can relax the lower esophageal sphincter, increasing the likelihood of acid reflux.
