Did you know that you can stop acid reflux immediately and permanently without using any drugs? What if someone told you that fats, coffee, alcohol, spices and even smoking are not triggers for acid reflux and it had all been a big mistake? What if someone suggested that carbohydrates might be responsible for the huge increase in the rate of esophageal cancer? What if someone told you that GERD was not really a disease so much as our bodies way of coping with a diet we did not evolve with? Heartburn Cured makes a strong argument that the consumption of excess carbohydrates is the root cause and real trigger for acid reflux and the resulting complications like Barrett's and esophageal cancer. Have you ever wondered why most trigger foods are associated with carbs (sugar in coffee, sweet mixes in mixed drinks, pizza crust with tomato sauce topping)? This breakthrough diet book is written by a microbiologist who suffered from chronic heartburn for 20 years before getting fed up with uninformed GI medical doctors prescribing drugs that either did not work or were associated with serious side effects and health problems. In Heartburn Cured, the author explains the role of intestinal microorganisms in digestion and provides clear and easy to understand evidence that excess carbohydrates are converted to gas by gut microbes and the gas produced drives acid reflux (and likely IBS symptoms as well). Heartburn Cured delivers a death blow to heartburn and GERD by harnessing the glycemic index, tailoring controlled carbohydrate dieting to freeing people from GERD and heartburn as well as the PPIs, H2 blockers and even antacids.

Acid reflux is by far the most widespread gastrointestinal disorder. To put it in perspective, the U.S. alone spends more than $10B on reflux medications globally. Thus, given the incredible prevalence of medications you might wonder why: ⚠ WebMD reports the disease has increased +50% over the last decade⚠ The National Cancer Institute shares throat cancer, the fastest growing cancer, is +850% since 1975⚠ The Voice Institute finds mortality from throat cancer is +7x You may also wonder why mainstream medical approaches, which you might think would be the best cure for acid reflux, have not helped you address your acid reflux or GERD. The startling answer to both of these questions is thoroughly explored in this book. If you are among the 10% of sufferers with silent / laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) you may initially have been misdiagnosed with a number of respiratory illnesses ranging from asthma to allergies. Even specialists are at a loss with regards to an effective treatment and diagnosis leaving you to suffer the many symptoms alone: ⚠ Sleep disturbance - breathing difficulty, choking, coughing⚠ Social challenges - hoarseness, clearing throat, belching⚠ Health issues - pain, mucus, lump in throat, difficulty swallowing⚠ Food and drink Issues - regurgitation, indigestion, eating problems⚠ Emotional distress - anxiety, stress, apathy In addition to these symptoms, there is the growing concerns of long term damage, cancer, and long term effects of reflux medications. Tell-tale signs include: ⚠ Tingling in hands, arms, feet, legs, mouth⚠ Fatigue, lightheadedness, nausea⚠ Anxiety, memory loss, depression⚠ Muscle aches, cramps, spasms, weakness⚠ Vision loss, blurriness, trouble focusingDespite these troubling side effects most have resigned to the fact that they will need to take these medications far beyond the recommended 14 days. The trouble is the symptoms come back with a vengeance as soon as you stop taking them. Sadly doctors do not have an alternative to offer. Feeling dissatisfied with mainstream medical advice, many turn to the internet. Unfortunately, there is an overwhelming amount of information on the internet from diets to detox plans. Sadly, the myriad of information sources do not focus on explaining or addressing the root causes of acid reflux. Consequently, they are ill equipped to help you do much more than mitigate symptoms. In contrast, this book is not band-aid masquerading as a cure. All conclusions and recommendations are discussed in simple terms and backed by hundreds of hours studying medical research. Furthermore, they are personally tested by the author, who prior to applying the methods in this book, suffered acid reflux for +15 years. The book is centered on a three phase transition plan: ① Revise (2 wks) - establish your baseline② Restore (4-6 wks) - address root causes③ Renew (2+ wks) - return to normal Discover the complete solution to understanding and healing and take your first step towards addressing the true root causes of your acid reflux.

The three phase plan is the best treatment for acid reflux. It's not a meal plan, exercise routine, or an appeal to give up everything you love.

Heal Heartburn and Lose Weight, Naturally If you suffer from acid reflux, you’re not alone. More than 50 million Americans have GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, and while antacids can be effective for short-term relief, they can also cause dangerous medical conditions if they’re used for more than the recommended fifty days at a time. Luckily, The Acid Reflux Solution offers a simple plan to help you gradually and safely reduce—and eventually eliminate—the need for pills while alleviating your heartburn. In this combination medical guide and cookbook, gastroenterologist Jorge E. Rodriguez, MD, has teamed up with registered dietitian and food writer Susan Wyler to present a three-step program to heal heartburn naturally.

In fact, Dr. Jorge has not only healed his own heartburn since developing this plan, but he has also lost more than 30 pounds! In step one you make some simple lifestyle modifications, like raising the head of your bed, loosening your belt, and eating less but more often. These are easily achievable goals that you can start working on today. In step two, you start eating to avoid reflux. With 100 high-fiber, low-fat, portion-controlled recipes to choose from, this step is the most delicious—and surprising. The list of foods that actually trigger acid reflux is smaller than you might think, which means you can enjoy meals that you probably thought were off limits, like Cuban Black Bean Soup, Grass-Fed Beef and Portobello Blue Cheese Burgers, Asian Barbecued Chicken, and even Spaghetti and Meatballs. In the final step, you reduce the dosage and frequency of the medications you were taking to control your heartburn because you won’t need them anymore. The Acid Reflux Solution combines the latest medical research with reflux-friendly recipes to help you feel great, lose weight, and live heartburn free.
