It wasn't bad.:

I could have found a lot of the information online, but this book presents the information better. A lot of the internet research I did had the same information repeated on every web site, a list of foods you shouldn't eat. Although this book has fairly basic information about nutrition, it tells you to eat right instead of just staying away from certain foods.
The recipes are good too. I've made three things from there and none of them give me problems. They are also all very good.

Chronic Heartburn Review:

I really like this book. Some things are a little contradictory to other web sites such as eggs should be eaten with caution and then they suggest it for one of your meals.

Good Overview and Handy Recipes:

This book gives a good overview of the problem, with a lot of basic information with a good level of detail, but in not too technical terms.

A Disapointment:

I had high hopes for this book but they were not fulfilled.The information section would only be helpful to people who are totally new to the wonderless world of acid reflux it is also somewhat depressing.
The recipes are ok but they aren't that wonderful
This book is definently not the place to start if you need help with this problem
Good Luck to us all
