Can you drink apple juice for acid reflux?

Apple juice is usually not recommended for people with acid reflux.

Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation and other uncomfortable symptoms. Acidic foods and drinks, such as apple juice, can worsen these symptoms.

Apple juice is high in malic acid, a type of organic acid found naturally in many fruits and vegetables. Malic acid can increase stomach acid production and cause or worsen acid reflux symptoms.

Additionally, apple juice is a low-fiber beverage. Fiber helps to slow down digestion and reduce the risk of acid reflux.

Here are some tips to reduce the risk of acid reflux:

1- Avoid acidic foods and drinks, such as apple juice, citrus fruits, tomatoes, and coffee.

2- Eat small, frequent meals.

3- Avoid eating large meals before lying down.

4- Elevate your head when sleeping.

5- Maintain a healthy weight.

6- Avoid tight clothing around the abdomen.

7- Quit smoking.

If acid reflux symptoms persist, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
