Is Hubba Bubba Strawberry Watermelon Bubble Gum GERD Friendly?

Description
Sweet strawberry and watermelon flavors provide a fruity, candy-like taste; the soft, chewy texture becomes pliable for blowing bubbles. Commonly chewed for casual snacking, sharing, or bubble contests; reviewers cite strong initial flavor, reliable bubble performance, convenient individual pieces, and occasional complaints about flavor fading and stickiness in some packages.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
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.
