4. Can papaya reduce acid reflux symptoms? What about similar fruits?
Certain fruits help with acid reflux because of enzymes that aid digestion. Papaya or pineapple are the most common. Papaya contains papain, an enyme that digests protein, thereby helping digestion, and pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that both aides digestion and reduces inflammation. Boiling chicory root, cooling it, and then drinking it as a soothing tea can be effective too.
