It wasn't bad. by Aila Barabin (USA)  4 Stars
August 13, 2008
I could have found a lot of the information online, but this book presents the information better. A lot of the internet research I did had the same information repeated on every web site, a list of foods you shouldn't eat. Although this book has fairly basic information about nutrition, it tells you to eat right instead of just staying away from certain foods.
The recipes are good too. I've made three things from there and none of them give me problems. They are also all very good.
For more in-depth information on acid reflux, though, I would recommend 'heartburn and reflux for dummies'

Chronic Heartburn Review by Debra A. Hipskind 4 Stars
June 22, 2008
I really like this book. Some things are a little contradictory to other web sites such as eggs should be eaten with caution and then they suggest it for one of your meals. However, there are alot of recipes that I have found to be very soothing for my stomach. Especially the beta power soup. I was to the point to where medicine wasn't even working for me very well and this book helped me to get on the right track. I do feel better since following the diet and would recommend this book.

Good Overview and Handy Recipes by A. Pearsall (Atlanta GA) 4 Stars
January 18, 2007
This book gives a good overview of the problem, with a lot of basic information with a good level of detail, but in not too technical terms.
The diet recommendations are great, and helped me put together the best diet plan for me. I especially appreciated the explanations of why different foods are bad for you, because there are about 4 different ways foods can contribute to the GERD problem. One or two of the meal plan suggestions might be questionable, such as eating strawberries when you have severe pain, but otherwise, it does a great job. The recipes are helpful, too.

A Disapointment by Belinda (Australia)  1 Stars
January 04, 2007
I had high hopes for this book but they were not fulfilled.The information section would only be helpful to people who are totally new to the wonderless world of acid reflux it is also somewhat depressing.
The recipes are ok but they aren't that wonderful
This book is definently not the place to start if you need help with this problem
Good Luck to us all
