a great book
I like this book.It is very informative. Answered a lot of question I had.I would recommend it to anyone who has digestive problems

This Book Saved My LIfe
I developed Celiac Disease approx. 20 years ago. Not one doctor was able to help me with the problems that disease causes in your body. I spent a day reading this book (I am a very fast reader) and I found that the symptoms that I had been living with were described in this book. I decided to try a gluten free diet for one week. The next day was the difference between night and day. I have been eating gluten free for two years now... and am symptom free. Do I have to eat special foods... sometimes... but most of the time... I just have to pay attention to the labels on the foods I eat. More and more restaurants are providing gluten free choices on their menus. When I read this book, it was like a new beginning in my digestive life!

Product Description
If you suffer from heartburn and feel like you’d do anything to get from relief, then this book could be the most important one you’ll ever read.

People sometimes act like heartburn isn't even a real medical problem and they couldn't be more wrong.

Heartburn is a recognized medical condition-or at least some types of it are.

The fact that it's a real medical condition-and not just a matter of having a "weak stomach" or something like that-means you should take it seriously.

Each person who suffers from heartburn will feel bad to some degree, but a lot of people will only experience the milder symptoms. They may not even realize that the pain could get significantly worse if it’s not taken care of immediately.

This book goes into great detail about the causes of heartburn and most importantly, the remedies that relieve the pain.

In this book, you'll learn all about:

- The causes of heartburn, and how they influence what you should do about yours
- How to tell if you have heartburn or some other medical problem
- Facts and statistics about heartburn that may surprise you
- The influence of family on your heartburn problems...maybe you can blame it on your parents after all!
- Complications that can arise from heartburn, and how to guard against them.
- Specific methods of preventing heartburn
- The most common causes of heartburn and how to avoid them
- What effect exercise can have on your heartburn
- When should you use drugs - and when should you try the natural remedies for heartburn?
- The one key to discovering the heartburn treatment that will work for you-deceptively simple, but effective!
- Lifestyle changes you can make that will relieve your heartburn without taking all the fun out of your life
- What about gum and candy? I found the answers.
- Using tea as a remedy for heartburn-and why some teas set your heartburn off like a raging fire, while others soothe and cool your heartburn with ice-like magic
- Remedies that don't cost anything but give you immediate pain relief
- Recipes for remedies that work--and that you can mix up in your own kitchen using common ingredients. You probably already have most of these in your kitchen now; all you have to do is combine them correctly
- Herbs and spices that won't aggravate your heartburn--and some that will actually relieve it
- Alternative remedies that work
-How to use reflexology, massage, yoga, chiropractic and other alternative methods to soothe your heartburn pain
- Advice on adapting your favorite recipes so you can still enjoy them without the heartburn. Yes, even chili!

It might be easy to just "go along" with your heartburn, popping those antacid tablets when it gets really bad but that's really not a good idea.

There are facts about heartburn you should know. Facts that most people don't know which are covered in this book.

This book goes into details about:

- How to tell if that pain you feel is heartburn-or heart attack
- Why ignoring or “living with” your heartburn is the exact wrong thing to do, and can lead to devastating consequences
- What is GERD-and why you must know the facts about it. In fact, not knowing could cost your life
- The truth about food, and the surprising things you can safely eat without aggravating your heartburn
- The meaning of heartburn during pregnancy-and what you can or cannot do about it
- Does having heartburn mean you can't enjoy alcoholic beverages? The answer may surprise you
- Why you get that agonizing burning sensation at night
- Why the clothes you wear can make your heartburn better-or worse
- Why you get heartburn at certain times of the year, and not at others
- The real, scientific truth about spicy foods and heartburn
- Common illnesses you might confuse with heartburn; some are minor, while others can kill you

You owe it to yourself (and your loved ones) to get the facts about heartburn and eliminate the pain of heartburn from your life today.

Product Description
Heartburn, also know as acid reflux, is a painful and burning sensation in the esophagus, just behind the breastbone usually associated with regurgitation of gastric acid (gastric reflux). The pain often rises in the chest and may radiate to the neck, throat, or angle of the jaw. Heartburn is a major symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease, otherwise known as GERD; acid reflux is also identified as one of the causes of chronic cough, and may even mimic asthma. Despite its name, heartburn actually has nothing to do with the heart; it is so called because of a burning sensation near to where the heart is located – although some heart problems may give rise to a similar burning sensation. The pain associated with acid reflux is due to the presence of acid in the esophagus. Acid is produced in the stomach as an aid to digestion and is not intended to be present in the esophagus. Unlike the stomach's lining that can tolerate very high concentrations of acid, the presence of acid in the esophagus, eats away at the lining of the esophagus and causes pain. ... Read more
