With 100 high-fiber, low-fat, portion-controlled recipes to choose from, this step is the most delicious—and surprising. The list of foods that actually trigger acid reflux is smaller than you might think, which means you can enjoy meals that you probably thought were off limits, like Cuban Black Bean Soup, Grass-Fed Beef and Portobello Blue Cheese Burgers, Asian Barbecued Chicken, and even Spaghetti and Meatballs. In the final step, you reduce the dosage and frequency of the medications you were taking to control your heartburn because you won’t need them anymore. The Acid Reflux Solution combines the latest medical research with reflux-friendly recipes to help you feel great, lose weight, and live heartburn free.

Download or read book GERD written by Parakrama T. Chandrasoma and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-07-26 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is one of the most common maladies of mankind. Approximately 40% of the adult population of the USA suffers from significant heartburn and the numerous antacids advertised incessantly on national television represents a $8 billion per year drug market. The ability to control acid secretion with the increasingly effective acid-suppressive agents such as the H2 blockers (pepcid, zantac) and proton pump inhibitors (nexium, prevacid) has given physicians an excellent method of treating the symptoms of acid reflux.Unfortunately, this has not eradicated reflux disease. It has just changed its nature. While heartburn, ulceration and strictures have become rare, reflux-induced adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is becoming increasingly common. Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and gastric cardia is now the most rapidly increasing cancer type in the Western world.The increasing incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has created an enormous interest and stimulus for research in this area. GERD brings together a vast amount of disparate literature and presents the entire pathogenesis of reflux disease in one place. In addition to providing a new concept of how gastroesophageal reflux causes cellular changes in the esophagus, GERD also offers a complete solution to a problem that has confused physicians for over a century. Both clinical and pathological information about reflux disease and its treatment are presented. GERD is meant to be used as a comprehensive reference for gastroenterologists, esophageal surgeons, and pathologists alike. - Outlines how gastroesophageal reflux causes cellular changes in the esophagus - Brings together the pathogenesis of the disease in one source and applies it toward clinical treatment - Tom DeMeester is THE leading international expert on reflux disease; Parakrama Chandrasoma is one of the leading pathologists in the area - Book contains approximately 350 illustrations - Ancillary web site features color illustrations: www.chandrasoma.com

My gastroenterologists and surgeons are speechless.... His diet works. Period. Don't give up on it. Stick it out, and you will see the results.... I have never written a review on Amazon before, and am not being paid to say this. I feel so strongly about this book, that I had to let the world know." --- Joey I had been on PPI medication for over 10 years and tried from time to time to get off of them. But the acid reflux that returned was excruciating. I found this book, followed its advice and was so pleasantly surprised how well it works. Haven't taken a PPI in a month. The book is easy to read and understand and the recipes are really good. The charts in the book also make it easy to keep track of what and how much you can eat.

I feel better than I have since being diagnosed with GERD nearly two years ago. I expect that I will always need to be careful about what I eat, but it is a graded system that enables me to try gradual adjustments." --- Sunbeam48 According to Alana Sugar, a certified nutritionist with close to 25 years in practice: Dr. Robillard, your work has done the greatest service of all time for those of us facing these sorts of gut issues.

Download or read book How I Cured My Silent Reflux written by Don Daniels and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-19 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acid reflux is by far the most widespread gastrointestinal disorder. To put it in perspective, the U.S. alone spends more than $10B on reflux medications globally. Thus, given the incredible prevalence of medications you might wonder why: ⚠ WebMD reports the disease has increased +50% over the last decade⚠ The National Cancer Institute shares throat cancer, the fastest growing cancer, is +850% since 1975⚠ The Voice Institute finds mortality from throat cancer is +7x You may also wonder why mainstream medical approaches, which you might think would be the best cure for acid reflux, have not helped you address your acid reflux or GERD. The startling answer to both of these questions is thoroughly explored in this book. If you are among the 10% of sufferers with silent / laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) you may initially have been misdiagnosed with a number of respiratory illnesses ranging from asthma to allergies. Even specialists are at a loss with regards to an effective treatment and diagnosis leaving you to suffer the many symptoms alone: ⚠ Sleep disturbance - breathing difficulty, choking, coughing⚠ Social challenges - hoarseness, clearing throat, belching⚠ Health issues - pain, mucus, lump in throat, difficulty swallowing⚠ Food and drink Issues - regurgitation, indigestion, eating problems⚠ Emotional distress - anxiety, stress, apathy In addition to these symptoms, there is the growing concerns of long term damage, cancer, and long term effects of reflux medications. Tell-tale signs include: ⚠ Tingling in hands, arms, feet, legs, mouth⚠ Fatigue, lightheadedness, nausea⚠ Anxiety, memory loss, depression⚠ Muscle aches, cramps, spasms, weakness⚠ Vision loss, blurriness, trouble focusingDespite these troubling side effects most have resigned to the fact that they will need to take these medications far beyond the recommended 14 days. The trouble is the symptoms come back with a vengeance as soon as you stop taking them. Sadly doctors do not have an alternative to offer. Feeling dissatisfied with mainstream medical advice, many turn to the internet. Unfortunately, there is an overwhelming amount of information on the internet from diets to detox plans. Sadly, the myriad of information sources do not focus on explaining or addressing the root causes of acid reflux. Consequently, they are ill equipped to help you do much more than mitigate symptoms. In contrast, this book is not band-aid masquerading as a cure. All conclusions and recommendations are discussed in simple terms and backed by hundreds of hours studying medical research. Furthermore, they are personally tested by the author, who prior to applying the methods in this book, suffered acid reflux for +15 years. The book is centered on a three phase transition plan: ① Revise (2 wks) - establish your baseline② Restore (4-6 wks) - address root causes③ Renew (2+ wks) - return to normal Discover the complete solution to understanding and healing and take your first step towards addressing the true root causes of your acid reflux. Join the thousands of individuals on TheAcidRefluxGuy.com who have discovered this life changing information! The transition plan and bonus quick hits (managing mucus, battling breath issues, and solving sleep problems) guides are a remarkably powerful combination designed to help you get results today! The three phase plan is the best treatment for acid reflux. It's not a meal plan, exercise routine, or an appeal to give up everything you love. Instead, it lays the foundation for a quick and smooth transition off of medications / supplements and a return to normal. Before you know it, you could be back to enjoying life free of the many health, soci
