Book Reviews of If I Have Acid Reflux: Nutrition You Can Live with (Tell Me What to Eat)
Book Review: Has some good basics for the lifestyle
Summary: 3 Stars
I've managed reflux on my own for years, but our teenage son was just diagnosed with a peptic ulcer, along with a reminder of acid issues and now reflux. He has to get the whole learning curve, AND we have to make meals for the family. No more red sauce -- at least not for a while.
The book is pretty good in giving simple discussions of reflux causes and management (and by extension, ulcer prevention). It's not exhaustive, but it's also not overwhelming. It's something you can browse a little here and a little there. The writer is pretty funny and realistic, I think. That dose of humour and humanity goes a long way.
Some of the recipes look really good. Others are for people with their reflux more under control, and definitely not for anyone on Prevacid, for example.
We made the tomato-free lasagna today. It needs some tweaking -- and the recipe did not mention anything about cooking time.
So I'd say it's a decent beginner's book, but not perfect either.
Book Review: Good Start But Somewhat Incomplete Book on the Subject
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is a good start on a rather narrow subject. Limiting it to acid reflux and not expanding it to include related physical problems limits the impact the book will have. The tips are very basic and most are obvious. Recipes are included (though some seem to include ingredients that would cause reflux!) but the book could go into much more detail and have some illustrations. It also needs practical examples from real people (for instance with me, popcorn before bedtime actual helps neutralize my stomach acid). Instead this is just a very clinical set of information with no application. The question and answer format works well--but if the author doesn't ask all the right questions then the reader won't get all the answers. So in the end this is just a beginner's look at the subject.
