Is Theraflu ExpressMax™ Severe Cold & Cough Daytime Berry -- 8.3 fl oz GERD Friendly?
Why it's not GERD friendly
- anhydrous citric acid
anhydrous 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.
