Reader’s Reviews by L. Crawford “EZ Rider” (Los Angeles, California USA) 5.0 out of 5 stars
I picked up this book at the check out counter of a pharmacy store several years ago, and didn’t read it until recently. It really is everything you need to know about acid reflux, its causes, side effects, how to manage the illness (treatment options include diet, medication and surgery), and the disease progression if left untreated. I was so inspired by this book that after I read it I went to Amazon.com and bought several copies as gifts for friends and family that also suffer from acid reflux. Since acid reflux eventually causes esophageal cancer, I would argue if you or someone you know has acid reflux, then get and read this book – Coping with Chronic Heartburn: What You Need to Know About Acid Reflux and GERD
