About this ebook

Dropping Acid: The Reflux Diet Cookbook & Cure is the first book to explain how acid reflux, particularly silent reflux, is related to dietary and lifestyle factors. It also explains how and why the reflux epidemic is related to the use of acid as a food preservative.

Dr. Koufman defines the symptoms this shockingly common disease and explains why a change in diet can alleviate some of the most common symptoms. Dropping Acid offers a dietary cure for acid reflux, as well as lists of the best and worst foods for a reflux sufferer. The book’s recipes use tasty fats as flavorings, not as main ingredients; included are the recipes for tasty dishes that prove living with reflux doesn't mean living without delicious food.

Ratings and reviews

Has some good information, however I'm disappointed at the general lack of information about specific foods and their pH level, I also am disappointed there isn't more recipes and that the recipes all don't have a pH level. How else are you supposed to stick to the diet if you don't know the pH of the meals and certain foods.

Extremely informative, I have had a chronic cough for years and have been diagnosed with GERD 3 years ago. The doctor prescribed Omeprazole meds and I have been taking them for 2 years but the cough persists, so this book will change my life around.

I've had chronic gastritis for 10 years and this book is the first and only thing that has improved my health for the long run. It changed everything!
