Tangy cherry-flavored candies deliver an intense initial sour coating that gives way to a soft, chewy interior; reviewers commonly note the pronounced sour-to-sweet transition and variable sour intensity. Often used for casual snacking, movie treats, party bowls, and sharing, they are favored for bold flavor and varied texture by many.
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.
