Status: Allowed with restrictions
Green Bell Pepper is classified as conditionally suitable for Acid Reflux based on current dietary assessments. Fruits and vegetables provide fibre, vitamins and phytonutrients, and are a core component of many balanced dietary approaches. 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: bell pepper irritates stomach wall, promotes acid production. The assessment is based on conservative experience-based assessments.
