[.ca] Tell Me What To Eat If I Have Acid Reflux (ISBN 1564145743)

It DOES tell you which food/drinks to avoid!:
I cannot believe a previous reviewer mentions that this book doesn't tell you what to avoid for acid reflux. There is an entire chapter dedicated to the subject not to mention a couple of chapters that are all about answering common Q & A on acid reflux in general and diet and acid reflux. Plus chapters on eating out and getting through the holidays. My gastroenterologist gave me a copy of this book and told me that it was the best and easiest read on the subject and he was right!

How to handle heartburn symptoms and how to prevent them:
A complete understanding of heartburn and acid reflux is presented in Tell Me What To Eat If I Have Acid Reflux, from what foods tend to influence the progression of acid reflux to lifestyle changes which can make a difference. While there are also dozens of recipes, the meat of Tell Me What To Eat If I Have Acid Reflux lies in its advice on how to handle heartburn symptoms and how to prevent them.

Help at Hand:
I have just been diagnosed with Acid Reflux and realised that I had to make drastic changes to my diet and lifestyle. I bought Tell Me What To Eat If I Have Acid Reflux and have found it very informative. Elaine Magee covers everything I needed to know and more. The recipes are useful as are hints such as chewing gum after meals and raising the head of the bed. I also didn't know what I should and shouldn't eat, but I do now and it has helped immensely. It is also great to know that I'm not alone and that there are millions other suffers out there.

Everything You Need To Know About GERD:
This is an outstanding book. Elaine Magee has succeeded in collecting a wealth of information into a single, readable paperback that is invaluable to those struggling with, or having family members struggling with, acid reflux and related problems. Having asthma? Maybe not - asthma might be merely a symptom of the underlying problem that comes from GERD, and treating the asthma symptoms instead of the problem may actually make the underlying GERD worse. Read on and see. Many medical professionals are unfamiliar with the current research and extensive information about reflux that is contained in this book, and the information here is essential in learning to navigate your way into effective medical help for GERD problems, advocating for proper treatment, and discerning when you've found a doctor that has the background and knowledge to help.

Diasappointment:
This book was a great disappointment. It did not tell me what foods I can eat, and in fact gave advise contrary to that of my physician. I expected a list of foods I can eat/ can't eat, and it didn't come in this book. Waste of money.
