Another useful one in this clever series ... by Anne (Chicago, IL)  4 Stars
July 10, 2006
It's true: it explains what many MDs neglect to mention in the office. Very useful reading -- BEFORE you go in to talk to the doctor. This will give you a framework for the best questions to ask. Unfortunately, the burden is on you, the patient, to ask them! Most docs volunteer nothing! Counterintuitive, I know, but it's the reality. Arm yourself with this simple, smart, easy to understand book.

Until now, no one had outlined the consequences of untreated heartburn as clearly as this author who pretty much tells you everything you need to know about about how heartburn happens and how it affects your body. I particularly liked how this book made it possble for me to contact a consumer help book and find out how stress hurts my stomach.
