I am really loving this book! I have been known to eat things that give me horrible acid reflux and have been told to cut down on those types of foods. This saddened my taste buds. I was surprised to find that this book has a great number of amazing meals in it that are actually tasty and healthy! There's actually a section at the beginning on coping with cravings from physical addictions and emotional an mental cravings, which I know all too well when it comes to changing up you diet for the better. There's a long list of foods and beverages to avoid when you suffer from reflux. A lot should be common knowledge, but some, believe it or not, I hadn't thought of. I really appreciated the tips and tricks for immediate heartburn relief section as well. I had always been told to take a spoonful of vinegar, but there were suggestions such as honey, sugar free gum, yellow mustard, and baking soda mixed with water, which coincidentally is also a great way to alleviate a UTI as the baking soda balances out your PH levels.

The meals in this book are delicious and visually appealing as well, as we all know that if it doesn't look good, who wants to eat it? Absoltuely recommend this book!

And in the second place, an excess of baking soda can give you a Charlie horse in every muscle in your body at the same time. When you have a Charlie horse in your heart, would you call that a heart attack?

If you feel your body is too acidic, try giving up coffee, tea, soda, junk food and sugar. Now you will tell me this is too hard. Watching both my parents die of cancer was hard, attempting to not do the same myself is easy in comparison.

All you need to do is see some one you are preferably fond of live on junk food and die a horrible death because of it. That will convince you eating proper food that God provided is a small price to pay for being healthy.

There are no easy answers. For the price of this book you could have a nutritious dinner in a nice diner for you and your SO.

To all out there who struggle with acid reflux or any of the other maladies mentioned in this book BUY and READ THIS BOOK.  Once I started following Dr. Aviv's advice and plan my life changed for the better.  I found that my asthma symptoms were markedly better as was the miserable burning sensation in my throat and esophagus.  Since heeding the advice in this book I have not once been awakened at night by a mouth full of stomach acid.  Yes I have had to give up some foods that I really love but it is a small price to pay for the relief I have gotten in return.  I would like to also recommend "The Acid Reflux Solution" by Jorge Rodriguez as an additional resource for those dealing with dietary acid problems.  Both of these books contain simple common sense advice for dealing with the problems associated with an overabundance of stomach acid.

As a sufferer of both Acid Reflux and serious Gerd I was so glad to finally find a cookbook that can help.  I have it so severely that I have to sleep setting up at night.  To start off the book tells you how to understand, what the symptoms are and when you should seek medical help.  It also has a page that you can list your triggers.  It tells you what foods you can have and which ones to avoid.  The great recipes included are very easy to understand and it even helps you with a shopping list and what to look for. The colored pictures brings the recipes to life. My favorite recipe was the Zucchini and smoked Salmon Rounds!  So tasty. I would encourage anyone with this problem to get this book.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review.

I have six children, and don't have time to sit down and write book reviews, but after recommending this book again to a friend, I believe it has proven itself worthy of a review from this busy Mama.  I had wonderful pregnancies, but they could do a number on my stomach as little feet pressed up against my stomach, and that all too familiar acid reflux demanded that I pop Pepcid, Gaviscon, etc.  I even had my esophagus stretched in between pregnancies after months of horrible "new" issues. My throat would be so tense for weeks it would feel like I was about to cry constantly, while my stomach was in a constant state of misery after every meal and between meals. If I was hungry, the issues became even worse. The last thing I wanted to do was be on a prescription for the rest of my life. I picked up this book years ago, when there were just a handful of reviews. It was a fascinating read, but I was scared to death to take the acid. In desperation I began taking licorice root to help my throat heal, and shortly thereafter, started the acid. What a life changer!!! I took the acid for almost a year, and now I no longer need to take the acid, except for occasional flare ups. Even my husband asks "Where is the acid?" when he feels things are stuck.  All I can say, is please try it. If it makes you miserable...you have wasted $15.00 and a few minutes of your time. If it makes you instantly feel better, you have saved yourself thousands of dollars in meds, and your stomach/throat/and peace of mind will thank you.

These aren't worth the stomach discomfort. I stuck to a serving size because I know about the side effects of maltitol for many people (stomach discomfort, gas, bloating, etc). Even a serving size caused me major bloating and gas ALL DAY! Perhaps if you could stick to only 1-2 of these a day you'd be fine, but who can eat that few?! I know I don't have the self control. Yes they taste delicious and pretty much like the real thing... But I'd be much happier to see Reese's make these with stevia so most people won't have to experience the stomach pain to enjoy them!

This is really good for when you eat too much and then get acid reflux.

It gives me really terrible heartburn for some reason. But it tastes amazing. I wish I could drink it.

By reading this book, I cut out the products my body did not like. I have stopped having IBS, and my life is much better. Read this only if your willing to give up the wrong types of food.

I found the information in this book to be very enlightening. After reading this information, I am really wondering if I should see the doctor or not. I've been dealing with heartburn for about three months now. I am going to use the suggestions in this guide and change my eating habits first. Perhaps that will cure the problem. Hopefully, my condition is just heartburn from not eating healthy. This book is certainly worth the little that it costs.

I have THE WORST heartburn of MY LIFE I can even breath or stop coughing. I loved these drinks and I usually drink the strawberry melon one, but it always gives me heartburn but being pregnant I thought that was pretty standard. Today I got the apple and I SWEAR I can barely breath from the heartburn it has caused almost instantly! I will never invest my $$ in these again... I wanted something fizzy but not high in carbs and more natural... but I think I will just stick to coke... it has less of a side effect.

Ok.  I don't write many reviews.  But I was desperate in seeking out a coffee I could try that wouldnt exacerbate my acid reflux.  Half a cup of regular coffee, or less, and Ive got reflux all day.  And I love coffee and have been so sad to give it up.  So heres the rub - this is zero acid- and I can tolerate one cup if I make it weak.  Perhaps it is the caffeine or an allergy or something, but I cant tolerate any more than
One cup of this either.  But it has been lasting me a long time with just 1 (not very strong) cup per day.  So would definitely encourage others to give it a try!

I love this stuff in tea or hot cereal or anwhere it will dissolve. I also love it with peanut butter & celery, or in just about anything I eat that benefits from a little sweetener.

But most of all, I use it because it has cured my acid reflux. As long as I keep this on hand and use it pretty often - not even daily - I no longer take Prilosec, or Nexium, or Omeprozal or Prevacid or.......

And then one day I ran out of Neosporin, so I put this on a bandaid over a burn. Gone the next day. I put it on a bandaid on a dry spot that's been bugging me, after a couple of weeks that, too, was gone.

Who knows where the usefulness ends?

Next time I will buy the bleached almond slices, because the skin on the one I got taste bad as I eat it in my cereal. I sifted over and over again, but can not get rid of them.

For a "Low-Acid Slow Cooker" cook book, this book disappoints. The meals I find are unbalanced - very low on protein and high on fillers such as pasta and rice. The recipes in this book sum up 20 years of bad eating habits, which I blame for my everyday heartburn and GERD. I found however, the Dr. Atkins cookbook is perfect for my needs. Easy to fix, all fresh with little to no preservatives and it helps me control my heartburn and acid production better than anything.
