Book Review: incredible!
Summary: 5 Stars
I stumbled upon this book as I was looking for alternatives to the anti-acid medication I was taking (Ranitidine)that was giving me such bad gas that I was doubled over in pain. This journey started over year ago when I began having an unexplained chronic cough. My doctor naturally thought it was allergies and the post nasal drip was causing the cough. I never really had allergies before but I trusted that the doctor knew what he was doing. I took the allergy medication for two months with no improvement. I tried acupuncture, eliminating dairy, wheat and gluten to no avail.
At this point, I was coughing every few minutes and my life was revolving around how to get rid of this cough. My cough had gotten so bad that I couldn't eat anything salty or crunch without almost gagging. My esophagus was so irritated that I was having a hard time swallowing my food. In desperation, I went back to my doctor and insisted that he listen to my symptoms and do some testing. One of the possibilities he came up with was that I might have GERD (I had never heard of it) and that my cough might be related to stomach acid. He prescribed Ranitidine and within a few day my cough stopped. I had also modified my diet; no chocolate, limit coffee and alcohol and no soda. I also ate smaller, more frequent meals. I was so happy to no longer be coughing that I put up with the gas and bloating that the medication caused. For over five months, I was cough-free and so relieved! Every now and then my cough would start up again so I doubled up on the medications and it went away.
I didn't like the idea of being on this medicine forever, so I gradually weaned myself off of it. For three months, I was able to control my cough with being very careful about what I ate and drank. However, two weeks ago, I over did it. I ate pizza and drank more that I should have. I started coughing again. I went back on the Ranitidine but the cough did not stop. After two days of being on the medicine, I was literally doubled over in pain from boating and gas. In desperation, I went online to do some research and that is when I found this book.
I had no idea that low stomach acid could cause GERD. I read the book reviews from the other people and decided to buy this book. As I waited for it to arrive, I did some more research, and found many common themes all of which supported the ideas in this book. I immediately stopped taking the Ranitidine and went to the health food store and bought some Betaine HCL with pepsin.
I have been taking the Betaine with every meal for the last week, and I the coughing has disappeared. I also feel more alert and energetic. I have terrible athletes feet and they are looking much better since I started taking the Betaine HCL.
This book opened my eyes to the very damaging effects of antacids. The doctors in this book do a very thorough and detailed job of explaining the importance of having enough stomach acid in your system. This book is very important and the book reviews have been helpful as well.
