Can eating green tomatoes cause really bad acid reflux?

I had fired green tomatoes and green tomato pie for supper last night. I awoke during the night with the WORST case of heartburn I ever had. I could even feel acid in the back of my throat. Liquid antacid did little to relieve it. Only after I arose and ate some bread was it a little better. My stomach still feels a bit queasy this morning.

IN my experience (and everyone’s different), what causes acid reflux is fatty foods. Once I started on my healthy eating plan in Feb 2006, I stopped getting heartburn. I used to buy TUMS by the big industrial sized bottle and eat them like candy. I haven’t bought any (for me…) in 2 years. The only time I get heartburn is if I eat rich, fatty food, and sometimes not even then. I believe the culprit in your case is more likely the cooking method than the green tomatoes themselves. Of course, I don’t know anyone who eats UNCOOKED green tomatoes

Yes. The foods that trigger acid reflux (heartburn) or the more serious condition called GERD vary from person to person. Fried foods of any sort seem to cause GERD problems in many people.
