Is Starburst Gummies Duos Candy GERD Friendly?

Description
Dual flavor gummy pieces combine two fruit tastes in a soft, chewy bite with a slightly tacky surface; people eat them as quick snacks, shareable candy bowls, movie treats, or lunchbox additions. Review themes include bold fruit flavor, satisfying chew, occasional excess sweetness, and variability in flavor balance across pieces.
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.
