Tag: Bananas for acid reflux

Over 50% of people experience digestive issues like heartburn or indigestion on a regular basis. While no fruit is a pharmaceutical antacid, some specific fruits that are antacids or have similar soothing properties can help manage symptoms through their alkaline nature, high fiber content, or specific enzymes.

According to a 2017 study published in the *Journal of Research in Medical Sciences*, individuals with a higher intake of fruit generally reported a lower risk of developing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). For those experiencing the discomfort of chest burn, focusing on low-acid, alkaline fruits can be an effective way to manage symptoms naturally.
