Book Reviews of Eating for Acid Reflux: A Handbook and Cookbook for Those with Heartburn

Book Review: Everything But Cookbook Section Good
Summary: 2 Stars

My main objective in buying this book was to find some easy recipes for tasty food I, as a reflux sufferer (laryngo-pharyngeal reflux, to be exact), could enjoy. This was not the case at all. The book is very readable, and the information about reflux and things aside from diet that you could do to reduce it were helpful to some extent. However, I found the recipes dauntingly complex (my absolute favorite cookbook before this diagnosis was Cook Your Meals the Lazy Way), and included ingredients I had not heard of, were not common, or that are on the list of things people with reflux shouldn't eat. Some of these "forbidden" ingredients are marked with "as tolerated" or some such, but what good is that? I could take any everyday recipe from my standard cookbooks and simply remove the ingredients I'm not supposed to have (which is what I have been doing which results in a blah dish). Most of the lifestyle changes one needs to make for this condition (such as sleeping upright, not eating or drinking 3 hours or more before going to bed, etc.) are depressing enough, but the most depressing factor is having to eat the dullest, blandest food imaginable and feeling hungry all the time because of it or lacking any appetite because you know how dull and bland the next meal will be. I was really disappointed in the cookbook section. If you want to read it for the reflux information, then just borrow it from your local library; don't buy it.
