Customer Reviews: Handbook for acid reflux My wife has had MS for several years now and I've been trying to get her to eat healthy because of it. She and I both suffer from acid reflux - her's stems from her MS.
After reading the book she changed her eating habits. Within a few weeks her acid reflux actually abated. She's eating much healthier now and the reflux is on the mend. She now 'swears' by the book and it really helped.
My acid reflux has been long term and while the book is good, my results haven't matched the wife's.
The book makes you responsible for your results. The recipes aren't exactly 'worker friendly' - as they take time and if your job involves many hours....they won't work. It might have been better if the recipes weren't included and just facts about what works, and doesn't, - were expanded.
Saying that, the book does work. It's a wonderful book - much recommended.
Reviewer says tomato paste not good to use. To the reviewer that said tomato paste is not good, I have two
books with recipes using canned tomatoes and tomato paste. I
am new to this problem, but using these books I have lost almost
5 pounds in 5 days. I only get mild attacks at bedtime but I
will conquer this. Incidentally, I have so far eliminated all
pills prescribed to me at the start of this problem which
aggravated the situation something awful.
Good luck in your quest - there are many books to choose from
at amazon.com, etc.
