Book Reviews of Heartburn & Reflux For Dummies (For Dummies (Health & Fitness))

Book Review: Some Interesting Material
Summary: 3 Stars

I'm not quite sure that I would agree that this is a book for dummies. Although the print layout is attractive and interesting and the diagrams are helpful, there seems to be too much material that is too sophisticated for a "dummy." That is not to say that there isn't considerable information that is both worthwile and interesting on the topic because there are many practical suggestions and advice. If the reader can zero in on the main points, this can be a very helpful resource for anyone concerned with heartburn and reflux.

Summary of Heartburn & Reflux For Dummies (For Dummies (Health & Fitness))

How to recognize symptoms, get an accurate diagnosis, and find the most effective treatment
Who is at risk for heartburn and reflux? What forms does reflux take? Is self-treatment dangerous? Heartburn and Reflux For Dummies answers these questions and helps readers work with their doctors to control symptoms, heal esophageal inflammation or injury, and avoid complications. It offers the latest information on prescription medications; alternative remedies; and the benefits and risks of surgery. Also, the book helps readers reduce stress and fine-tune their diets by identifying the foods that trigger upset, controlling portions, and timing meals to minimize heartburn and reflux.

Carol Ann Rinzler (New York, NY) has authored more than 20 books on nutrition, food, and health. Ken Walker, MD (Jacksonville, FL), is a Trustee and Fellow of the American College of Gastroenterology.
