One of the first books to demystify this condition for the lay reader, Coping with chronic Heartburn offers help, relief, and advice to sufferers of GERD, including: *When to consult a doctor *Which tests you may have to undergo *Effective self-care treatments such as dietary change and over the counter medications *Promising alternative and herbal treatments *Details on the latest prevention and treatment developments, including a new surgical procedure with a 96% success rate.
