Is Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce GERD Friendly?

Why it's not GERD friendly
- onions
- spirit vinegar
- malt vinegar
onions
Dietitian noteOnions, particularly when eaten raw, contain compounds that can relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the muscle responsible for keeping stomach contents in place. When this muscle loses its tension, gastric acid can more easily reflux into the esophagus, causing the painful burning sensation of heartburn. Additionally, onions are high in fermentable fibers that may increase stomach pressure and delay digestion, further exacerbating GERD symptoms for sensitive individuals.
