Get rid of GERD for good

Is your heartburn making you dread meal times? No matter how
delicious a feast is before you, the prospect of that burning pain,
nausea, and even vomiting can be enough to make you turn away.
Heartburn is a symptom of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, commonly
called acid reflux, and the pain is caused by stomach acid damaging
the tissue in your esophagus. It's more than a minor
annoyance--GERD is a precursor to esophageal cancer, and it
affects over 50 million Americans. There are medications to treat
GERD, but what most sufferers don't realize is that a few simple
lifestyle changes can help your medication work better--or get
you off medications completely.

Acid Reflux Diet & Cookbook for Dummies is your
roadmap to ending GERD for good. In it, you'll find lifestyle and
diet modifications that prevent symptoms from occurring in the
first place, as well as explanations about the mechanism of the
condition and how and why these modifications help. The book
contains over 70 practical recipes, plus tips on navigating grocery
stores, restaurant menus, and the holiday season. You'll gain
valuable insight on the small, easy changes that can make a big
difference, and get answers to questions like:

* Is your posture and sleep position working against you?

* Can chewing gum really help or hurt?

* What supplements may work just as well, or better than,
prescriptions?

* How does eating more often help prevent symptoms?

Whether you've tried every treatment available and still haven't
found relief, or are hoping to avoid prescription medication
completely, Acid Reflux Diet & Cookbook for Dummies is a
clear, comprehensive guide to getting rid of GERD.
