5.0 out of 5 stars Dealing with heartburn, Jun 14 2005

By writer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Heartburn and Reflux For Dummies (Paperback)

This book is a straightforward guide to heartburn and its unpleasant sister, reflux. The list of potentially offending foods is very useful, as is the Part of Tens guide to heartburn web sites. Even if I still get heartburn, this book has given me some strategies for reducing the discomfort. Highly recommended.

By PLewis - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Heartburn and Reflux For Dummies (Paperback)

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.
