No, definitley not. No citric acid in pineapple, but they do contain bromelain, an enzyme that is an aid to digestion.
get your mum to have some BEFORE her main meal.
Good luck.

No, it is considered a tropical fruit. I think the only fruits considered citrus are oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits
