Status: Not recommended
Chili is classified as not recommended for Acid Reflux based on current dietary assessments. Herbs and spices are used in small amounts; however, certain components may still play a nutritional role depending on the condition. 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: capsaicin irritates mucous membranes, increases acid production. The assessment is supported by a broad evidence base.
