Product Description
Review
" Coping with Chronic Heartburn is a wonderfully practical book that will help many readers. It is comprehensive and written in an accessible, down-to-earth style. It is filled with great information and should be read by everyone who suffers from acid reflux and GERD." -- Daniel G. Amen, MD, author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life
Book Description
An estimated 10 percent of the U.S. population suffers from Chronic Heartburn, also known as Acid Reflux or GERD. Many people simply dismiss this condition--the symptoms of which can include sleeplessness, chronic sore throat, heartburn, hoarseness, and dental problems--as something to learn to live with. Recent studies, however, have shown that GERD can have serious effects such as an increased risk for esophagitis, ulcers of the throat, and even cancer of the esophagaus, catapulting this condition into the media spotlight.
One of the first books to demystify this condition for the lay reader, Coping with chronic Heartburn offers help, relief, and advice to sufferers of GERD, including:
*When to consult a doctor
*Which tests you may have to undergo
*Effective self-care treatments such as dietary change and over the counter medications
*Promising alternative and herbal treatments
*Details on the latest prevention and treatment developments, including a new surgical procedure with a 96% success rate.

If You Have Acid Reflux Then This Book Is A Must Read!, July 4 2009
By L. Crawford "EZ Rider" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coping with Chronic Heartburn: What You Need to Know About Acid Reflux and GERD (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked up this book at the check out counter of a pharmacy store several years ago, and didn't read it until recently. It really is everything you need to know about acid reflux, its causes, side effects, how to manage the illness (treatment options include diet, medication and surgery), and the disease progression if left untreated. I was so inspired by this book that after I read it I went to Amazon.com and bought several copies as gifts for friends and family that also suffer from acid reflux. Since acid reflux eventually causes esophageal cancer, I would argue if you or someone you know has acid reflux, then get and read this book!
