Book Review: Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Acid Reflux – Revised Version
Last April, I did a book review on “Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Acid Reflux”. Recently, in 15 Oct, California dietitian Elaine Magee
In this new version, Elaine Magee
Here are some suggestions from her new book:
Sleep on your left side. This puts your stomach in a better position not to experience reflux, Magee said in a telephone interview.
You also can make bedtime more comfortable by elevating the head of your bed with blocks. Or, plump up the top of your bed with pillows.
Try to eat a series of small meals during the day rather than skimping all day and having one big meal at night.
“When people get into this cycle of starving themselves through the day and then they get home and have a huge dinner, it’s not a good situation to be in,” Magee says.
During the day, chewing gum may also help. Just avoid mint-flavored gum, as mint may aggravate acid reflux in some people, Magee says. This is because it helps to stimulate saliva production and by increasing the saliva, it just helps push whatever acid is there down.
Sucking on antacids or lozenges after meals will have the same effect.
Drinking tap water can also help, as it will dilute one’s stomach acid, she says.
Magee’s book also includes many of the better-known tips for what people should not do if they have heartburn, such as lying down right after a meal or carrying around extra pounds.
Foods on her to-avoid list include greasy, high-fat, spicy and creamy foods, as well as those with citrus fruits and tomatoes.
But to help take the edge off, Magee also provides recipes for a no-tomato lasagna, no-tomato pizza and a low-fat Alfredo sauce.

I really enjoyed your book review. I have just finished Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Acid Reflux, and I think your review will inspire others who are looking for answers to read this book. Before this book, I thought I had tried everything to get rid of my heartburn. Now, I swear by my six small meals a day instead of a big lunch and dinner, and tums of coarse. When I was looking this book up on the internet to buy it for a friend, I found this great website where you can buy books in bigger fonts as well as in an audio version, so you can listen to them anywhere. Anyone who loves to read as much as I do should check out this website!
