Is Ortega Taco Sauce Thick & Smooth Original Hot Bottle - 8 Oz GERD Friendly?

Description
Thick, smooth hot sauce delivers consistent medium heat and tangy flavor, commonly used as a topping for tacos, burritos, nachos, and eggs.

Why it's not GERD friendly

onion powder
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.
