Written by an internationally recognized expert on digestive diseases, this much-needed book brings relief to the tens of millions who suffer from the pain of severe heartburn almost daily. If you find yourself dependent on antacids, losing sleep, missing work, or canceling plans because of heartburn discomfort, you may be among those who struggle with gastroesophageal reflux disorder, or GERD.

Drawing from his extensive experience diagnosing and treating patients, as well as the latest research from around the globe, Dr. Anil Minocha explains the causes of heartburn----and the potentially serious consequences of leaving it untreated.

* How your diet and weight may be affecting your GERD
* The relationship between stress and heartburn

Save your money & keyword heartburn on the web,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Stop Heartburn: Simple Ways to Heal Heartburn and Acid Reflux (Paperback)
This isn't a bad book, but you can get all the same information going on line and keywording GERD or heartburn. I am sceptical of the many anecdotal patients in the book, used entirely to support her topic of the moment. I felt spoken down to in the book. Still, if you MUST have a book about this topic, this one will give you all the basics, but don't expect any revolutionary new ideas to conquer this bothersome syndrome.

Best little book on heartburn,
By Bill Meredith (Bristol, Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Stop Heartburn: Simple Ways to Heal Heartburn and Acid Reflux (Paperback)
I have read this book three times and each time I have gotten benefit from it. It continue to be by my bedside. This says it all cos the other book is my bible !The causes and relief of heartburn are explained better than any other book I've read. I am in the minority of patients with severe heartburn that needed a Nisan Operation. I wish my doctor had looked at this book it would have kept my doctor and hospital bills down. I give it my highest recommendation.

Superlative for the patient with Heartburn,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Stop Heartburn: Simple Ways to Heal Heartburn and Acid Reflux (Paperback)
... I have never seen as biased and unfair a report ! It is apparently more easy to be critical than correct, Folks !My own personal review of this book is in agreement with the majority and that includes some recognized top reviewers. It is simply great. Accurate information given in a succint manner from well researched material....The approach adopted in this book is current, well-balanced and readable. I recommend this to my clients most of whom are actively seeking alternate medicines to common medical problems such as heartburn
