Why do bananas give me heartburn?

Let's start from the beginning. What are we talking about when we talk about heartburn? heartburn is the unpleasant sensation that occurs when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus.

When you suffer from heartburn, you may feel a burning sensation in your chest or throat. You may also have a sour or acidic taste in your mouth. Heartburn may worsen when bending over or lying down.

It is related to the levels of a substance called "resistant starch" in the fruit, which changes as the banana ripens. Green bananas contain a lot of resistant starch. The human stomach and small intestine have difficulty digesting this type of starch.

As bananas ripen, the starch breaks down into sugars, making them softer and sweeter. The peel also becomes thinner.

Bananas can give heartburn because they contain natural acids and sugars that may relax the stomach valve and allowing acid to rise into the esophagus.
