Dr. Koufman's Acid Reflux Diet: With 111 All New Recipes Including Vegan & Gluten-Free: The Never-Need-To-Diet-Again Diet

If you have reflux or even a hint of reflux you have to buy this book.I was having second thoughts and I thought it was too expensive at £18 and was about to send it back when I had a quick flick. Within five minutes I was hooked.This doctor leaves no stone unturned she looks at every angle and it is a brilliant brilliant book that I feel sure will change my (and your) life.And If I could afford to get the money to go on a “pilgrimage” to America and to be treated personally by Dr Jamie Kaufman, I would do so because she would transform every aspect of my health I am convinced of it.The hidden perils of reflux whether it’s silent reflux.....non-silent reflux dancing reflux.....singing reflux ....heartburn reflux - or whatever reflux cannot be underestimated.Helped along by masses of sugar consumption junkfood sugary cereals carbonated drinks we are heading for a collision with nature, early death, unnecessary surgery, pointless expensive medicines. And all we really have to do - if it not too late - is to rethink our eating.Reflux she virtually says is at the centre of almost all things bad. I’m a non-smoker that has never been able to get rid of a cough.As a non-smoker who gave up four years ago but had a niggling cough for over two years, I was concerned. I’d also had an autoimmune condition that resulted in excess weight and so went low carb. That worked handsomely till personal difficulties led to me eating bread and “bad carbs” again which was probably the “trigger food” the book talks about.That niggling cough then become a bad cough and that had clear chest x-rays so I was puzzled and confused. I confronted both my GP and other people in the NHS. They messed up. They got it wrong. Surprise surprise.The NHS bless their cotton socks - overstretched and understaffed - wrongly diagnosed me and sent me off in the direction of chest clinics that took months to get appointments for. Then one day an amazing Locum doctor that happened to be on that day - suggested an ENT clinic appointment who immediately diagnosed reflux.This was a huge relief but the story is not over there and I was not out of the woods. Because reflux is a silent killer and accounts for almost all oesophageal cancer cases. In fact most lung conditions lung cancer and throat cancer cannot happen without reflux. A fact l had no idea about. And if you have reflux long enough it is a precursor to those cancers. So having coughed for so long I clearly may be at risk.But the good news is according to Dr Jaime, and she speak at all times with great conviction - you can turn it all around.In a brutally honest comprehensive detailed analysis and a book that is never boring and makes total sense she says “tighten your belts. But it CAN be done”. And in the interim you’ll lose weight ...your cough....your heartburn and years of bad habits, and if you stick with it you gain glowing eyes energy longevity and other health benefits. Look at Dr Jaime and her co-workers. They could be my “kids” . The proof is in the (non) pudding! They rest their own case.

Excellent book a sequel to her Dropping Acid book. Read both. Do not be put off by dated look. These contain nuggets of useful info not found elsewhere. As a Doctor I like that it has evidence behind most of what she says & that she has a reputation as a researcher. Has made me look at foods in a different light. Not sure about the recipes as I’m sure I can adapt things myself. Hadn’t heard of alkaline water before & useful to have clarity about quite a few things including medications as there is so much nonsense on the internet about alkaline diets & apple cider vinegar. I read Dr Aviv’s Acid Watcher Diet book too which supports the pepsin theory & is also useful for other things if you want to improve your overall health .Would be good if there was more info from anyone about how to strengthen diaphragmatic muscles.... back to internet for that.

The book itself is very good and I understand the trend of the arguments. However I found that it did not contain the detail I personnally needed. There is enough information to get you started. I have ordered another book by this author and hope there is more of the information in it that I would like to find. The recipes are USA orientated but with research some UK substitutions will probally be found.

Was recommended this book by ENT Consultant. Followed the diet plan and had great success especially with "sore throat" symptom I was suffering. Highly recommend.

I purchased this hoping it would help with my diet, unfortunate the meals in here are quite difficult to do and obtain the food where I live, this was a big disappointment and I would not recommend this book

Love this book, it's finally helping me to understand why I have all these voice problems, even if I've been on PPIs (Omeprazole) for 10 years now. Now I know what to do about it. GPs don't tell you any of this. Very thorough, and it's great to see it's written by a laryngologist.

This book is a godsend for anyone who is suffering with LPR. I have learnt so much. The medical profession have not given me a tenth of the information that is in here, in fact they are utterly disinterested. The things I have learned here have given me a plan of action and have informed more research. I am already using some of the things in it to good effect.

If you want to understand why you have silent reflux, what causes it and how to stop yourself having it then this is the book for you. I found this book extremely useful.
