Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A must for your reference library if your have an ulcer!
Stop looking. This book is a one stop guide that will enable you to understand what your body is doing in those places you can't see, but you KNOW they are there. I believe every doctor should update their ulcer related knowledge by reading this book. "The Ulcer Story" is written in an easy to digest manner, so don't hesitate in finding out about YOUR stomach.
I had H. pylori previous to discovering through an Endoscopic exam that a Peptic ulcer hadn't healed and a growth developed on a healed Duodenal ulcer. Result: Surgery. Afterward, I was so sick and no one had an answer for "what do I do now"?
Get this book before surgery. Find out your options for treatment before and after. Take it with you to the doctors office. Go armed with information that will help you be a smart consumer. You couldn't spend your time better or money wiser.

Summary : Great book!
This is an excellent book for people who are interested in digestive disorders. It offers practical advice in how to cure them in simple non-technical language. A great book for student nutritionists such as myself.
When the muscle that is supposed to prevent stomach acid from escaping up into the esophagus gets to weak to do its job and the acid keeps on gushing back to the esophagus, that is called acid reflux. It is a lot like heart burn but a lot more uncomfortable as generally there is much more acids and pepsins pushing back to the esophagus.
It is not confirmed that chiropractic manipulations will help with acid reflux. In fact, some doctors don’t recommend chiropractic treatments for acid reflux at all. However, some patients claim that these types of manipulations help them greatly with their acid reflux symptoms. So, if you are interested in alternative therapies for your acid reflux, you can certainly give chiropractic manipulation a try and see if it helps you.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a disorder that results from stomach acid moving backward from the stomach into the esophagus. The esophagus is the muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach by the way.
To relieve the burning sensations caused by acid reflux, you can use antacids as a short term relief, even though they don’t offer much long term relief.
Keep a food diary to track everything you eat and drink if you suffer from acid reflux as diet plays a part in generating stomach acid, and if the acid levels are managed and kept low then you are less likely to experience the reflux.
