Tell Me What to Eat if I Have Acid Reflux, Revised Edition: Nutrition You Can Live With

Heartburn isn’t just an inconvenience—it can make you miserable. Here are foods, recipes, and tips for feeling better. Heartburn happens when the lining of the esophagus comes in contact with too much stomach juice, which can produce a burning pain and injure the esophagus. A valve that connects the end of the esophagus with the stomach normally functions to keep the stomach acid where it belongs: in the stomach. But in people with frequent heartburn, this valve relaxes too frequently, allowing the stomach acid to splash up into the esophagus. Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Acid Reflux begins with a detailed yet completely understandable explanation of how and why this condition begins, based on the latest medical information. Then the majority of the book is dedicated to all the ways that diet and lifestyle can bring relief and decrease heartburn, including an entire section with specific tips and recipes to help you during the worst times of the year for heartburn sufferers—the holiday season. Discover dozens of healthful, practical, tasty recipe options for foods you never thought you could enjoy again, plus heartburn-savvy tips on navigating the supermarket, cooking in your kitchen, and eating out.
