Synopsis
More than 10 million Britons suffer heartburn at least once a month and more than 250,000 have the symptoms every day. Heartburn is the most frequent symptom of acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). People realize that there is a link between condition and nutrition. Acid reflux is a painful burning sensation in the throat just below the breastbone. The pain often rises in the chest and may radiate to the neck or throat. It's no longer necessary to suffer needlessly. Help comes in the form of this new book. Elaine Magee interprets all the difficult to understand information that doctor's provide and answers all the questions normally asked of a dietician. There are a host of specific recommendations - what to eat, what to avoid - and how to incorporate these changes into a normal lifestyle. Tell Me What to Eat if 1 Have Acid Reflux lists the common and not so common complications of acid reflux and what to expect from this type of condition. Tell Me What to Eat If 1 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. Readers gain a better understanding of what acid reflux is and of the treatment options that are available to them: medication, surgery, and life-style measures. The majority of the book is devoted to the lifestyle and diet treatment options for acid reflux since they increase the effectiveness and long term success of the surgery and medication.

Customer Reviews

A necessary addition to an Acid Refkux suffer's bookshelf
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.

It is factual and straight to the point with no waffle. You will recognise a lot of the symptoms that you have probably been putting up with for quite a while and not done anything about. It is reassuring and gives practical advise.
