Yes, citric acid can trigger acid reflux!

You have several options for heartburn relief:

  • Try eating smaller meals, and don't eat two to three hours before bedtime.
  • Avoid foods that may trigger heartburn, such as fried food, citrus, tomato, spices, peppermint, chocolate, and carbonated drinks.
  • Cut back on alcohol and caffeine.
  • Stop smoking if you smoke.
  • Lose weight if your doctor says you're overweight.
  • Cut back on aspirin and pain relievers if you take them often.

http://www.AcidRefluxFix.comI used to care for infants diagnosed with acid reflux & I finally figured out on my own that some baby foods made the little ones suffer a great deal more than others. (didn't always have time to make my own & it isn't always the best way to go anyway). The only difference I could see between Gerbers & Beechnut was citric acid in the Gerbers. Not a cure, but made a world of difference. This is going back some years, but if your baby has reflux, you might want to check the labels.
