Why it's not GERD friendly
- peppermint oil
- lemon balm
- peppermint
- citric acid
peppermint oil
Dietitian noteMint, particularly peppermint, has a muscle-relaxing effect. This can relax the LES, a muscle that acts as a barrier between the esophagus and the stomach. When the LES is relaxed, stomach acid can more easily flow back up into the esophagus, triggering heartburn and other GERD symptoms
