Customer Reviews

Disappointing recipe section
Excellent background information on the disease. One of the most complete descriptions and reasons why certain foods cause problems. However, I was very disappointed with the recipe section. I was expecting recipes for dishes that did not include foods that can cause heartburn. Instead, there were very common recipes, many containing several ingredients that GERD suffers should avoid, with instructions such as "if you have problems with onions, leave it out..." How helpful is that, really!?

A good cookbook with a wrong recomendation.
I found this book to be fairly helpful. The recipies are ok with some helpful hints. One recomendation I feel should be included that has helped me beyond expectations is the use of a incline pillow called the Prop-Up Pillow (www.propuppillow.com). Anyone suffering from acid reflux should consider this pillow. It is made from NASA memory foam and is by far the most comfortable on the market. Eat right and use this pillow.

An easy to follow,delicious recipe book for GERD!
I just received this book from Amazon.com and have already tried a few of the recipes. The Grilled Lamb chops with cucumber relish was excellent. Another benefit is that all the recipes seem to be low in fat! I'll be showing this book to my allergist and ENT specialist!
