Every time I eat bananas on an empty stomach, there will be acid reflux. Does this have anything to do with my stomach problems?

    Heartburn, acid reflux, and vomiting may occur after eating bananas on an empty stomach. This is because bananas are rich in carbohydrates. In general, carbohydrates have no significant effect on gastric acid secretion, but monosaccharides and disaccharides will particularly stimulate gastric acid secretion. It happens that most of the carbohydrates in fruits exist in the form of monosaccharides and disaccharides. Therefore, after eating bananas on an empty stomach, the secretion of stomach acid is more than that of ordinary foods. Patients with peptic ulcers such as gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer There will be adverse reactions of heartburn and acid reflux, and people who already have too much stomach acid will also experience discomfort.
