dehydrated onion

Dietitian note

Onions, 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.

Tasted great, instant bloating

Have hashimoto's, gluten intolerant. Gave it a chance, on the hope that it was gluten free, since it was yellow. Lots of gas and bloating. Feel awful the day after.
