Low-acid foods can feel gentler on heartburn because they are less likely to irritate the esophagus, and some also help by adding water, fiber, or a lighter digestive load. Foods that are higher in pH, lower in fat, and easier to digest may also help reduce the chance that stomach contents reflux upward.

Papaya fits into that idea because it is usually considered a low-acid fruit, and it contains papain, an enzyme linked to digestion support.
