Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Excellent Book for Acid Reflux Sufferers
As a 4-year sufferer of acid reflux I found this book a mine of useful information. I now understand what Acid Reflux is and how to change my life style.
This book also gave me the ability to discuss the problem with my doctor, on a more equal footing.
When the muscle that is supposed to prevent stomach acid from escaping up into the esophagus gets to weak to do its job and the acid keeps on gushing back to the esophagus, that is called acid reflux. It is a lot like heart burn but a lot more uncomfortable as generally there is much more acids and pepsins pushing back to the esophagus.
If you must eat at a fast food restaurant even though it is best avoided if you suffer with acid reflux, then choose their grilled options, like grilled chicken. The most inappropriate choices are fries and burgers. In addition, fried chicken is not that great for you as well.

Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Everything you ever wanted to know about your heartburn
I began searching for educational materials on heartburn after I had lived with it for several years and had poured all kinds of antiacids into my stomach. This book is very informative, explaining the causes, treatments, and even the long-range effects of continuing heartburn. It educated me to where I was able to discuss my condition knowledgeably with my physician and had no "fear of the unknown" when it came time to begin treatment.
