Question of the Day: Do bell peppers cause heartburn?
Quick Answer: No, bell peppers do not cause heartburn.
Many people believe that bell peppers contribute to heartburn, but the opposite is actually true. Doctors recommend foods high in fiber and antioxidants and low in net carbs and sugars as part of a heartburn diet. This is a perfect description of bell peppers.
Much of the confusion likely comes from other ingredients commonly combined with bell peppers that can trigger heartburn. Onions, garlic, and tomatoes are just three prime examples.
