Status: Not recommended
Bacon is classified as not recommended for Acid Reflux based on current dietary assessments. Cold cuts, cheese and spreads are often high in fat and salt while also providing protein and – in cheese – calcium. With acid reflux, the focus is on avoiding triggers that may affect the lower oesophageal sphincter or influence gastric acid production. The reasoning given is: high fat content delays gastric emptying and relaxes the esophageal sphincter. The assessment is based on conservative experience-based assessments.
