The Acid Watcher Diet: A 28-Day Reflux Prevention and Healing Program

Anyone who is struggling with GERD will find this very helpful. I've been on the PPI merry-go-round for ages and was even advised by a gastroenterologist to take omeprazole for life. This didn't feel right for me at all as the side effects creep up on you. I'm was very confused by the various pieces of advice I was picking up on the internet - some very bad advice indeed. If you're wondering how you can help yourself and ween off medication then I strongly suggest the buy this book. It is a fantastic resource on every level and Dr Aviv is very well informed. His meal plans and recipes are great and very very helpful. He lists all the foods and the PH level. I'm so empowered by controlling this problem myself now which if not treated in some way (holistically as Dr Aviv explains it or with PPi), can became very very serious as a damaged oesophagus can become very complicated. So not to give away spoilers but you will probably have to give up some of your favourite foods and drinks but tasty alternatives are offered. Dr Aviv also has an excellent website called acid watcher, and you can also find YouTube videos of interviews he's given. He has also created an additional recipe book which I have bought. I think he is wonderful and really knows his stuff. Highly recommended. I would like to add that if you read the book(s) - he has a recipe book too, you can join a closed fb group which is a very supportive community and offers many ideas and recipes and is extremely helpful in this journey. It also answers all your questions.

Very useful and well written book. The price is reasonable.

This book changed my life! I was on omeprazole for 5 years and told I was going to have to take it for the rest of my life. Desperate, and looking for answers I tried this diet after seeing the amazing reviews on Amazon, I really didn't want to be on medication forever. I decided to go cold turkey on omeprazole on day 1 of this diet, the first 1-3 weeks were HARD. Going without coffee etc was hard for me and my acid reflux went so much worse as I was coming off omeprazole, but I trusted in the diet and powered through anyway. Then around week 4 I woke up one day and my acid reflux was GONE. It healed. I couldn't believe it! But sticking with it for the 4 weeks truly worked. I slowly started drinking coffee again maybe around week 6 and slowly went back to my normal diet - no issues, but if it had flare ups I'd go to back to the diet. I would also formulate my own recipes based on the ingredients we are allowed to you (you don't have to stick to his recipes, you can make your own just be very vigilant with the ingredients, stick to them too a TEE). Also if you like sweet treats like me I started having dates and almond butter at night and that tied me over! Anyway, it's been a year now and I have no acid reflux, I can drink coffee, eat acidic foods and I am completely fine and have no reflux at all. Highly recommend this book and make sure you stick with it to see results!
