My tunafish sandwich bites back!


Question
Hi Sarah,

I make tunafish sandwiches out of one can albacore, a large dollop of sweet relish and a large dollop of miracle whip. It's been biting me back - heartburn. I suspect the relish, but maybe also the whip ... help! Is there a safer alternative?

Answer
Heartburn is a very individualized issue. Any part of the sandwich may be the culprit. I suggest thinking back to other times you have eaten the ingredients.  Does it seem like you often get heartburn after eating relish with other food? How about with miracle whip on other types of sandwiches?  If nothing stands out, try altering your recipe. Leave out the relish or chop up a couple of sweet pickles. Still having heartburn? Add back the relish and trade miracle whip for mayonnaise or olive oil. If you try that also and are still having problems think about other times you get heartburn and discuss it with your doctor because, and this is worst case scenario, it may be the symptom of a medical issue, such as gastric reflux or gallstones.
