Is Metamucil Sugar-Free Orange Smooth Powder Psyllium Fiber Supplement GERD Friendly?

Description
Orange flavored smooth powder dissolves into a mildly thickened translucent drink when stirred; commonly mixed with water, juice, or smoothies. Reviewers frequently cite pleasant citrus taste and easy mixing, though some mention occasional aftertaste or clumping if not fully stirred. Packaged in resealable canisters with convenient lids for countertop storage.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
- natural and artificial orange flavor
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.
