Book excerpt: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is one of the most common maladies of mankind. Approximately 40% of the adult population of the USA suffers from significant heartburn and the numerous antacids advertised incessantly on national television represents a $8 billion per year drug market. The ability to control acid secretion with the increasingly effective acid-suppressive agents such as the H2 blockers (pepcid, zantac) and proton pump inhibitors (nexium, prevacid) has given physicians an excellent method of treating the symptoms of acid reflux. Unfortunately, this has not eradicated reflux disease. It has just changed its nature. While heartburn, ulceration and strictures have become rare, reflux-induced adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is becoming increasingly common. Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and gastric cardia is now the most rapidly increasing cancer type in the Western world. The increasing incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has created an enormous interest and stimulus for research in this area. GERD brings together a vast amount of disparate literature and presents the entire pathogenesis of reflux disease in one place. In addition to providing a new concept of how gastroesophageal reflux causes cellular changes in the esophagus, GERD also offers a complete solution to a problem that has confused physicians for over a century. Both clinical and pathological information about reflux disease and its treatment are presented. GERD is meant to be used as a comprehensive reference for gastroenterologists, esophageal surgeons, and pathologists alike. Outlines how gastroesophageal reflux causes cellular changes in the esophagus Brings together the pathogenesis of the disease in one source and applies it toward clinical treatment Tom DeMeester is THE leading international expert on reflux disease; Parakrama Chandrasoma is one of the leading pathologists in the area Book contains approximately 350 illustrations Ancillary web site features color illustrations: www.chandrasoma.com

Book excerpt: This book presents a new, multi- and interdisciplinary approach to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett’s esophagus that reflects the latest advances in understanding of the disease. The role of each of the available diagnostic techniques, including endoscopy, histopathology, esophageal manometry, reflux monitoring, and EndoFLIP assessment, is carefully explained. The use of endoscopy for the purposes of mucosal ablation (radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation) and mucosal resection is described, and all aspects of anti-reflux surgery are covered, with detailed explanation of indications and techniques for standard fundoplication, endoscopic fundoplication, and surgical procedures using the LINX system and the EndoStim device. To assist the reader further, a novel interdisciplinary algorithm is presented for GERD diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches (including endoscopic and surgical resection and chemoradiation) are also presented for esophageal cancer and cancer palliation. A key feature of the book is its recognition of the contribution of different specialties in the management of GERD, and it will accordingly appeal to a wide range of practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book unleashes a brilliant new plan for permanently curing heartburn by relieving the root cause of the problem: low stomach acid. The fact is that heartburn is caused by too little stomach acid -- not too much, as many doctors profess. As explained in this book, the current practice of reducing stomach acid may be a temporary fix, but this fix comes at a cost to our long-term health that is being ignored by the pharmaceutical companies, the FDA, and the thousands of physicians that prescribe anti-acid drugs like Prilosec, Tagamet, Zantac, Pepcid, and others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disorder affecting approximately more than 10% of the population. GERD is highly heterogeneous in terms of varied manifestations, test findings and treatment responsiveness. The invasive treatment options for GERD have now greatly expanded from just the Nissen Fundoplication to various other options such as other minimally invasive options like the Lower Esophageal augmentation with a magnetic device, and multiple endoscopic options like Radiofrequency ablation, Trans-oral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) etc. Treatment options require an understanding of the patho-physiology of GERD, which is discussed in chapter one of this book. Chapter two studies the clinical practices for extra-esophageal reflux and explores the outcomes. Chapter three reviews extraesophageal reflux and sleep microarchitecture disturbance and excessive daytime sleepiness. Chapter four discusses osteopathic manipulative therapy. The final chapter provides updated research on the surgical treatment options for GERD and their long-term outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Aviv guides readers through healthy dietary choices with targeted recipes, helping them balance their bodies and minds for optimal health and break acid-generating habits for good. Do you suffer from abdominal bloating; a chronic, nagging cough or sore throat; postnasal drip; a feeling of a lump in the back of your throat; allergies; or shortness of breath? If so, odds are that you are experiencing acid reflux without recognizing its silent symptoms, which can lead to serious long-term health problems, including esophageal cancer. In The Acid Watcher Diet, Dr. Jonathan Aviv, a leading authority on the diagnosis and treatment of acid reflux disease, helps readers identify those often misunderstood symptoms while providing a proven solution for reducing whole-body acid damage quickly and easily. His 28-day program is part of a two-phase eating plan, with a healthy balance of both macronutrients (proteins, carbs, and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants), that works to immediately neutralize acid and relieve the inflammation at the root of acid reflux.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRUTH ABOUT TRIGGER FOODS - They Are Not What You Think They Are ADDRESSING CAUSE AND EFFECT - Heartburn, Acid Reflux and GERD Relief without Drugs In the Fast Tract Digestion Heartburn, Norm Robillard, Ph.D., Founder of the Digestive Health Institute, explains the TRUE CAUSE and provides the COMPLETE DIETARY SOLUTION for acid reflux and GERD based on solid scientific evidence. This ground-breaking new approach -WHAT YOU EAT AFFECTS BACTERIA IN YOUR GUT- supported by a clinical study was presented at the recent Digestive Disease Week meeting in May, 2013 to provide a different treatment option to gastroenterologists for acid reflux and GERD. What people are saying about the Fast Tract Digestion Heartburn: "I weaned myself off proton pump inhibitors, and have avoided surgery completely. My quality of life is soooo much better. My gastroenterologists and surgeons are speechless.... His diet works. Period. Don't give up on it. Stick it out, and you will see the results.... I have never written a review on Amazon before, and am not being paid to say this. I feel so strongly about this book, that I had to let the world know." --- Joey I had been on PPI medication for over 10 years and tried from time to time to get off of them. But the acid reflux that returned was excruciating. I found this book, followed its advice and was so pleasantly surprised how well it works. Haven't taken a PPI in a month. The book is easy to read and understand and the recipes are really good. The charts in the book also make it easy to keep track of what and how much you can eat. I'd recommend this book to anyone who has GERD, takes medication for it and wants to get off of PPI's. --- DJ In the recent blog articles by the New York Time Best Seller Co-author of Protein Power, Dr. Mike Eades mentions the effectiveness of the Fast Tract Diet for GERD: http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/gerdacid-reflux/gerd-treat-low-high-carb-diet/ http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/gerdacid-reflux/gerd-treatment-nutrition-vs-drugs-3/ "Finally, after many years no more heartburn; Also no more bloating. I can't believe it. Why can't the gastroenerologists leave the pills alone." --- Henry T Ulrich "Thanks to Fast Tract Digestion diet and the consultative help of Norm Robillard via the Digestive Health Institute, I am now off meds, taking just an occasional TUMS. I feel better than I have since being diagnosed with GERD nearly two years ago. I expect that I will always need to be careful about what I eat, but it is a graded system that enables me to try gradual adjustments." --- Sunbeam48 According to Alana Sugar, a certified nutritionist with close to 25 years in practice: Dr. Robillard, your work has done the greatest service of all time for those of us facing these sorts of gut issues. The diet you have outlined is nutritionally balanced and safe! I tell my clients about your book and your work; I want everybody to know!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text comprehensively reviews the current state of the art in Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) together with a comprehensive explanation and description of the known gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) literature. With chapters written by experts from around the world, this text aims to deliver what is current in reflux recognition, diagnosis, reflux related complications, and the various treatment modalities. This is the first textbook to combine the most up to date knowledge of both LPR and GERD meant for both specialties and the general medicine population. Completely unique to the reflux literature is a section detailing the substantial benefits of a mostly plant based, Mediterranean style diet in the treatment of reflux disease. Encouraging patients to read and learn about diet and health is likely the most important step in improving their disease. The text provides direction to the caregiver on how to transition to a mostly plant-based diet. Review of myths, effects of diet in the setting of other disease states, and dietary consequences are explained. Guidelines on how to transition diet, dining out while maintaining a plant-based diet, and how to wean off medication, such as PPI, are also provided. Laryngopharyngeal and Gastroesophageal Reflux: A Comprehensive Guide to Diagnosis Treatment, and Diet-Based Approaches will provide the medical community with a resource to understand, teach, and provide the latest in LPR and GERD information to the caregiver and subsequently the patient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will give you a clear understanding of what acid reflux is - a health condition experienced by almost half of the American population. It explains how and why acid reflux occurs as well as discusses in detail why the common health remedies prescribed by health professionals do not eradicate the condition and worsen it instead. Much more than that, the book contains proven non-drug and non-surgical alternatives to effectively cure acid reflux, heartburn, and GERD. Acid Reflux is a health condition where acidic stomach fluid leaks back up the food pipe (the esophagus) causing heartburn - a burning pain felt internally around the lower chest area. It is quite common for people to experience occasional heartburn since acid reflux usually results from eating or drinking certain types of food or drink for some people. However, the frequent occurrence of heartburn may indicate a more severe form of acid reflux condition called GERD (Gastro- Esophageal Reflux Disease). Although the condition may not be life threatening, it may lead to more serious health conditions in the future such as cancer if left unattended or uncared for. The book will help you eradicate the condition for good and prevent it from recurring without resorting to medication or surgery. I hope you find the information and recommendations truly valuable.
