Q. I ate tomatoes because I heard they were good for gastritis, but now I have heartburn.

A.

The acidic components of tomatoes can irritate the esophagus and stomach lining. It is advisable to eat them cooked or consume only a small amount after meals.

📝 Detailed Answer

토마토는 슈퍼푸드지만, 산도(pH)가 높은 과일입니다. 위산 과다나 역류성 식도염이 있는 분들이 공복에 생토마토나 토마토 주스를 마시면 속이 타는 듯한 통증을 느낄 수 있습니다.

토마토를 올리브유에 살짝 볶거나 데쳐서 드시면 산성이 중화되고 영양 흡수율은 더 높아집니다.
