Book excerpt: Acid reflux—the words are all too familiar in today’s culture. What is it about this health condition that causes such recognition amongst so many people? Perhaps it’s the fact that so many of us are flooded with commercials on this condition, just about every day. Perhaps it’s the fact that so many people try to self-diagnose this condition every time they have a bit of heartburn. Maybe it’s because so many people are actually suffering from this condition that it’s almost become common place. Though the instinct of many is to dismiss acid reflux as a seemingly simple condition, it can be a truly difficult one to live with. If you don’t get the proper diagnosis and work through an appropriate treatment plan with a medical professional, then acid reflux may literally take over your life. So why is it that acid reflux has become such a common, widespread, and rather accepted health condition? What is it about this particular gastrointestinal disorder that has caused so many to just skip past it? It’s hard to say in each individual case, but for the majority it probably has to do with the fact that there are so many different medications out on the market. So many different drug companies have jumped in on the act to distribute and market their own version of acid reflux medication. You’re seeing so many different commercials because there are that many medications that all promise to help you cope with the common symptoms. While this can be a relief to those who suffer from acid reflux and to doctors who prescribe them, it can all be a bit confusing as well. Understanding what acid reflux is and how to live with it can come in handy. This can be a rather frustrating and debilitating gastrointestinal disorder, and getting into the details of it can help you to coping with it throughout your life.

Download or read book Heartburn Cured written by Norman Robillard, Ph.D. and published by Self-health Publishing. This book was released on 2004-12-31 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that you can stop acid reflux immediately and permanently without using any drugs? What if someone told you that fats, coffee, alcohol, spices and even smoking are not triggers for acid reflux and it had all been a big mistake? What if someone suggested that carbohydrates might be responsible for the huge increase in the rate of esophageal cancer? What if someone told you that GERD was not really a disease so much as our bodies way of coping with a diet we did not evolve with? Heartburn Cured makes a strong argument that the consumption of excess carbohydrates is the root cause and real trigger for acid reflux and the resulting complications like Barrett's and esophageal cancer. Have you ever wondered why most trigger foods are associated with carbs (sugar in coffee, sweet mixes in mixed drinks, pizza crust with tomato sauce topping)? This breakthrough diet book is written by a microbiologist who suffered from chronic heartburn for 20 years before getting fed up with uninformed GI medical doctors prescribing drugs that either did not work or were associated with serious side effects and health problems. In Heartburn Cured, the author explains the role of intestinal microorganisms in digestion and provides clear and easy to understand evidence that excess carbohydrates are converted to gas by gut microbes and the gas produced drives acid reflux (and likely IBS symptoms as well). Heartburn Cured delivers a death blow to heartburn and GERD by harnessing the glycemic index, tailoring controlled carbohydrate dieting to freeing people from GERD and heartburn as well as the PPIs, H2 blockers and even antacids.
