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.

Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Excellent Book for Acid Reflux Sufferers
As a 4-year sufferer of acid reflux I found this book a mine of useful information. I now understand what Acid Reflux is and how to change my life style.
This book also gave me the ability to discuss the problem with my doctor, on a more equal footing.
People can change their diets to actually eliminate or reduce the effects of Acid Reflux. A proper routine can be made to reduce the problem which generally causes due to the irregular habits of eating or eating more junk food and also from excessive drinking. These bad habits cause a rise in the stomach acids, which in turn adds more pressure on the muscle that is trying to stop the stomach acid from escaping.

Author : W.Grant Thompson
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 : Layman's bible and more
I cannot tell you enough how good this book is - after ploughing through trees of print, here is one that just gets to the point and is interesting as well. It is also set out so that you do not have to read the first half to understand one page near the end.
Very readable, even just for information. People without problems should find the details in this text interesting and good guidance.
