Heartburn Cured: The Low Carb Miracle by Norm Robillard (2005) Paperback
The Real Cause of Heartburn, LPR, Bloating and other symptoms of Acid Reflux and GERD revealed. 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?
Norm Robillard, Ph.D., Founder of Digestive Health Institute, is a microbiologist who was the FIRST to propose a novel root cause of GERD based on how diet affects bacteria in our gut. Scientists, physicians and health advocacy groups endorse his approach.
Over 50 years of dogma held in the medical establishment explains that certain (trigger) foods relax or weaken the LES muscles and trigger reflux. This idea does not fit the facts. Heartburn Cured provides overwhelming evidence that GERD is ultimately caused by repeated cycles of carbohydrate malabsorption and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).
This book explains how the author’s personal journey and expertise came together to reveal how SIBO causes GERD. By understanding the true root cause of GERD, this condition can be treated by diet alone without drugs. The diet offers a variety of delicious foods including fruits, vegetables, fish, meats and healthy fats that will allow you to gain control of heartburn and other GERD symptoms in as little as two days.
Mark Sisson, author of the #1 bestselling health book on Amazon.com - The Primal Blueprint: "Robillards theory provides the most sound explanation for the growing incidence of GERD in Western society. If you have GERD, I’d encourage you to read the entire book."
Chris Kresser, health and wellness blogger and author: "In his excellent book, Heartburn Cured, microbiologist Dr. Norm Robillard argues that carbohydrate malabsorption leads to bacterial overgrowth, resulting in intragrastric pressure which drives reflux."
Michael R. Eades, M.D., co-author of the New York Times best seller - Protein Power: "Norm Robillard is the microbiologist and he himself has been a GERD sufferer for years… His theory makes perfect sense, and now that I understand it, I buy into it 100 percent."

Good read and really knows his stuff. But I feel like it's only one piece of the puzzle. Visit chriskesser.com/heartburn for more reasoning.
