Is Preparation H Maximum Strength Pain Relief Hemorrhoidal Cream with Aloe GERD Friendly?
Why it's not GERD friendly
- citric acid monohydrate
- anhydrous citric acid
citric acid monohydrate
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.
