Bananas and Acid Reflux?

I have either a hiatal hernia or GERD, and I've noticed whenever I eat bananas, they seem to trigger heartburn, and that acidy taste in the mouth. Is there a reason for this? Every site I've looked at says bananas should help.

I have the exact same problem with bananas as does my sister. I actually had issues with them before I had significant reflux issues. The riper the banana the less of an issue it is for me though unfortunately I prefer them less ripe. I've just stopped eating them.
