Is Sour fruit flavoured candy GERD Friendly?

Description
Bright, tart fruit flavors deliver an initial sour punch followed by sweeter fruit notes. Chewy, tacky pieces offer a firm bite and slow dissolve. Frequently eaten as a snack, party treat, or candy-toss item; reviewers note intense sourness, variety of flavors, and enjoyment when shared or used in gift bags.
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.
