Fruits are rich in fiber and other stomach-friendly substances. Anthocyanins present in grape skins protect the stomach against gastritis and can help prevent acid reflux. However, grapes have a relatively acidic pH, therefore for people diagnosed with ulcer, consumption of acidic fruits should be avoided. The most important thing is that you ingest small amounts and observe the effect had grapes on you.

Grapes are rich in antioxidants, which are beneficial to our health. Grape consumption in moderation is safe for persons with acid reflux. One thing to remember for people with GERD/gastritis is to eat on time and to avoid too much spicy or fatty food.
