Is Maille Original Dijon Mustard GERD Friendly?

French style mustard offers a sharp, tangy flavor and smooth, creamy texture with a mild bite; commonly used in vinaigrettes, marinades, sauces, sandwiches, and alongside charcuterie. Reviewers often note authentic taste, consistent heat level, glass jar packaging, and versatility for cooking or tabletop use, and frequent repurchase among regular buyers.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
- spirit vinegar
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.
