What I really like about this book is that the author doesn't serve up some flippant, "You can solve it by simple diet changes."  For millions of sufferers, it is not easily solved by some simple change.  Millions of people have to take prescription drugs--mostly proton-pump inhibitors, like the author states.The author provides extensive discussions on all the options, including the last resort--surgery, nissan fundoplication.  These sections were clear and concise.  Easy to understand.One area that I thought was a little light:  The problem with bone density is a HUGE problem to watch with PPI's. Many of those taking PPIs have to take vitamin supplements (Vitamin D and calcium.)  The section on this danger seemed pretty skimpy to me--almost a casual reference in passing.  Also, the list of prescription PPIs only listed one medication.  There are a ton of medications--not just one.I liked the funny recipes at the end for No-Reflux Pancakes and other meals.√ Good Book Recommend!
