Gastrointestinal symptoms are one of the most frequent complaints heard by family physicians. The most common of these complaints relate to the upper G.I. tract and include belching, gas, acid, heartburn, and indigestion.

50 Ways to Relieve Heartburn, Reflux, and Ulcers is a quick and easy-to-follow volume that offers fifty solutions to these and other chronic and acute upper G.I. episodes. You will learn about symptoms, treatments, and management techniques and, in the case of ulcers, whether you should be screened for H. pylori. Additionally, the book offers a comprehensive overview of major medications, tells you what questions to ask your doctor, and describes "red flag" symptoms as well as the effects of smoking, overeating, caffeine, and a sedentary lifestyle on upper G.I. disorders.
