Product Description
Heartburn isn't just a minor inconvenience--it is very painful and can inhibit your sleep, affect your work, and make you feel miserable. Of course, if you are one of the 60 million Americans who get heartburn at least once a month, you already know this. Heartburn happens when the lining of the esophagus comes in contact with too much stomach juice, which can produce a burning pain and injure the esophagus. There is a valve that connects the end of the esophagus with the stomach, which normally functions to keep the stomach acid where it belongs--in the stomach. But in people with frequent heartburn, this valve relaxes too frequently, allowing the stomach acid to splash up into the esophagus. Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Acid Reflux begins with an overview of acid reflux. Readers get a detailed yet completely understandable explanation of how and why this condition begins--an explanation that is based on the latest medical information. The majority of the book is dedicated to all the ways that diet and lifestyle can bring relief and decrease heartburn, including an entire section with specific tips and recipes to help you during the worst times of the year for heartburn sufferers--the holiday season. Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Acid Reflux offers dozens of healthful, practical, tasty recipe options for foods you never thought you could enjoy again, plus heartburn-savvy tips on navigating the supermarket, cooking in your kitchen, and eating out. |

Acid relief by D. Keathley (Lesterville, MO USA)  5 Stars
November 16, 2009
This book confirmed a lot of my thinking as related to the difficulties I have had for the past year and a half. It helped me know that I am on the right track as far as treatment and that I was already doing some of the suggestions. I will continue to work at following some of the things/food plans I have not yet tried. It was worth the $ to make the purchase.

We are all different by S. E. Martin (Garden Valley, CA)  3 Stars
October 07, 2009
We are all genetically different and react differently to any particular treatment. Our bodies operate through a variety of biochemical cascades. A weakness or error at a particular point may cause the same symptoms as an error further up or down the cascade of biochemical reactions. This often means that a treatment which works perfectly for one person will not help another person.
This is a good basic book of information that should benefit everyone a little (such as raising the bed or using pillows to make it less likely that the acid will reach your esophagus during the night). It cannot give specific treatments for everyone, however.
Taking daily chelated magnesium might be worth trying, IF your kidneys are functioning normally, you do not have myasthenia gravis, are not pregnant, or do not have a high grade AV block, and are not taking any drugs which interact with magnesium, such as tetracyclines, quinolones, or bisphosphonates.
Very large doses of magnesium can result in renal failure and or cardiac arrest. The recommended RDA is 310 mg/day for women 19 to 30 years old, or 320 mg/daily for women 31 through 70 years old. Men 19 to 30 years old 400 mg/day and 31 to 70, 420 mg/day.
Typical supplemental doses range from 100 to 350 milligrams a day. Taking magnesium supplements with food is less likely to cause diarrhea. There is a report of a person having a cardiopulmonary arrest after ingesting 465 grams (NOT milligrams) of magnesium. Eating vegetables high in magnesium is the best idea.
It may also be very helpful to determine if you have any food intolerances. If I do not eat grains, foods containing dairy products, a small amount of oil, or eat after 6 pm, I will have acid reflux and probably a sore stomach. If I refrain from offending foods for a long period of time, I do not have any symptoms at all, day or night. Refraining from eating these foods is probably the only 'cure' for people who have developed similar intolerances to particular foods. After a period of abstainance, eating small amounts of these foods on rare occasionally may not result in symptoms for some people.

Tell Me What to Eat if I have Acid Reflux by B. H. Griffin (Pflugerville, TX)  4 Stars
October 05, 2009
I think this is a very comprehensive report on reflux problems. I have a son
with Barrett's Esophagus and he seems to ignore the importance of diet. He eats
fast food often and does not pretend to be on a diet. I bought this as a gift for him and think it will help him immensely.
It goes all the way, explaining the different drugs and their benefits. The menus
are a big help for those who want to prepare meals at home.
It is well worth the price, in my opinion.

Great Health Information by Barbara A. Goldberg 5 Stars
September 12, 2009
So very important to know this information. Was very surprised to find out I have acid reflux and this showed me what I need to do since my HMO didn't really care whether they followed up on this.

Tell Me What to Do if I have Acid Reflux by Sandra Whitmore 3 Stars
August 13, 2009
Little disappointed in the book. They need to list more things individually that you should/or should not eat with Acid Reflux instead of so many recipes. I did get a few ideas but thought there would be more individua foods.
