citric acid foods

[Anonymous]

i started my son on solids at 4 months but so many things seemed to upset his reflux..apples,bannanas ect…i waited till 6 mo ..well i started again and his did applesauce like a champ but when i gave him 1 little bite of bananas hes crying his head off. now when i gave him actual real bananas he was fine. im guessing it this citric acid they put in the food.?? are there any babyfoods that dont put that in? is citric acid (sp?) in real banannas?? im guessing i should avoid all foods that have citric acid in it but how long?? im thinking maybe of making my own foods, do any fruits have citric acid in it..besides the obvious like oranges and grapefruits… PLEASE HELP!1 the formula is not filling him up and i dont want to just give him sweet potatoes every day..although he seems not to care!! hes not getting diarrhea or vomiting or anything just getting very very fussy!!

try various squashes?

zuccini?

green beans? (I buy frozen & then steam them and w/ jonah I even pureed them…)

peas?

steamed apple slices (could puree them or just cut into tiny pieces if he can get them into his mouth)

I don’t know about the citric acid- I just avoided citrus and pineapple, things like that…

I gave papaya bcse 1) we’re in the tropics, lol 2) papaya is supposed to be good for digestion 3) it seems pretty bland
