Is Philadelphia Plant Based Original GERD Friendly?

Description
Smooth, mildly tangy flavor with a soft, spreadable texture; commonly used on bagels, toast, crackers, in sandwiches, and mixed into dips or spreads. Reviewers frequently cite consistent creaminess and easy spreading, noting it works well as a cooking or topping option while sometimes differing slightly from traditional counterparts in texture.
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid
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.

Reviews
Yummy dairy free cream cheese
Not as smooth as dairy cream cheese, but I use it on sandwiches and with capers and crackers. It’s a A welcome addition that feels normal, and not expensive. My Safeway has it.
