If you suffer from chronic reflux problems or GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) this book is a valuable tool. GERD isn’t simply “more heartburn.” It’s a condition in which stomach acid repeatedly backs up into the esophagus, often causing chronic irritation. After a long bout of acid reflux I got this book hoping for some simple answers and discovered some simple tools that have significantly reduced the irritation I was experiencing in my throat.
The book starts with a simple explanation of the problem including some of the most common foods that contribute to acid reflux. In the first chapters I was able to identify some favorite foods that were contributing to my problem like my late night coffee and sodas.
This cookbook isn’t complicated it’s good old-fashion common-sense recipes that will help reduce acid reflux and give your throat a chance to heal. This is not just a cookbook it is also offers a list of simple habits and lifestyle changes that will reduce your acid reflux over a few months that will actually let your esophagus heal.
The recipe section of the book offers easy to follow recipes that include photos of the finished dish, prep time, ingredients, comprehensive instructions, nutritional information, and “digestive notes”. The digestive notes are unique to this book and give the reader insight into the advantages of the recipes ingredients in fighting against reflux.
If you suffer from chronic or even occasional acid reflux The Complete Acid Reflux Diet Cookbook for Beginners is a valuable tool to reduce harmful acids in your diet.

Fantastic recipe book!

This is actually the second recipe book I have got from this author as the first was so helpful and full of delicious recipes! This book has been so helpful when planning and cooking for a family member with heartburn. I love that there were recipes in there to help to reduce the problems associated with it by avoiding any ingredients that would irritate and make it worse. The 28 day meal plan is really helpful for planning and for shopping. A really nice recipe book!

I was worried that a low-acid diet would mean eating flavorless mush, but these recipes are actually very delicious and satisfying to eat. The snacks are my favorite part because they keep me from getting too hungry between my meals, which helps my reflux stay under control. It is a very useful book for anyone who wants to heal their gut through simple and healthy cooking.

I’ve struggled with acid reflux on and off, and honestly, it gets frustrating trying to figure out what to eat without making things worse. Instead of guessing what to cook every day, I could just follow along with The Complete Acid Reflux Diet Cookbook for Beginners, which removes a lot of stress.
