    Best written guide for heartburn sufferers

    Wonderful book ! It has 17 chapters plus 4 appendices. Covers everything from what heartburn is to what causes it and more. Tests for diagnosis and physician approaches including some alternative medicine strategies. Too much to cover in this review but the book addresses all age groups and lays out in a really enjoyable manner the nuts and bolts of having to live with heartburn and how to get the best medicine and even how to choose the best specialist. Simply put buyers of this book can look forward to living a better life if they suffer from Heartburn. Congrats to the authors for a superb and much needed book
