A Parent’s Guide to Reflux in Infants, Children & Teens “Meeting Dr. Jamie Koufman completely changed my life. My symptoms of chronic cough and shortness of breath had been diagnosed since my childhood as asthma. Dr. Koufman identified that I had reflux, not asthma, and guided me step by step how to cure it. I have my life back and I owe it all to Dr. Koufman's insight and help.” -Suze Orman, Host of the Suze Orman Show, CNBC This is an important book that will help change how America eats and guide parents to heal our needlessly sick children and adolescents. There are 80 million infants, children and teens in America, and most have unhealthy diets. Every year, tens of millions are misdiagnosed as having asthma, allergies, nasal congestion, ear infections, chronic cough and croup, when the real problem is acid reflux. A bad diet and childhood obesity are both strongly associated with reflux. So, when a child has a respiratory disease and is not getting better with medical treatment, we believe parents should consider that reflux may be the problem. Why? Because it can be fixed! Reflux is the greatest masquerader of our time. It can be the cause of almost any kind of respiratory symptom or disease. Unlike adults who may have obvious reflux symptoms (indigestion and heartburn), children are almost always “silently refluxing,” and silent means that reflux is mysterious, difficult to diagnose and easy to overlook. Kids with reflux rarely complain of heartburn or indigestion. Respiratory reflux is the missing link between bad diet and many symptoms. Today, respiratory reflux is so common it is almost invisible. Pediatricians and medical specialists often diagnose children with asthma, sinusitis or allergy, when what they really have is reflux. Doctors all too frequently prescribe children antacid medications without beneficial effects. The real villain is not vanquished by pills. Most medications won’t do a thing for children’s reflux symptoms and can sometimes cause more harm than good. Reflux is not only uncomfortable and inconvenient, it’s dangerous. If left untreated, reflux can wreak havoc on a child’s ears, nose, throat, airways, lungs and digestive system. Our successful reflux rehabilitation program is a platform for change, with the long-term goal of health maintenance and disease prevention. And, for overweight children, another benefit of this book’s reflux program is that they will lose weight naturally and slowly with a diet that is simply “lean, clean, green and alkaline.” When we fix a child’s reflux, parents’ knowledge translates to significant dietary changes for the entire family. Out go the juice, soda, chocolate milk and other unhealthy choices. When parents understand that too much acid and sugar in the diet, and eating supper too late in the day has a big negative impact on the family’s health, they act. Their children’s well-being is at stake. Once reflux is identified or even suspected, the fix is more in parents’ control than many realize. Acid Reflux in Children is the revolutionary book for parents who want to help their children lead healthy, active lives, free of acid reflux and the many other symptoms this condition can create. Here’s to our future - HEALTHY CHILDREN!

This is a personal narrative, a record of my passage among victims of chronic pain and the discoveries that have come from those encounters. I write for physicians, nurses, therapists, and caregivers, but mostly, I write for you who suffer the disease. I know you very well, perhaps as well as anybody in the world. I have listened to your stories with patience and attention, and I have been greatly rewarded. You have trusted me with the deep recesses of your thoughts and fears, and the memories of the dreadful experiences that are so often the origin of chronic pain. I have treated thousands of you and I believe I have some understanding of your illness. I offer a series of essays about people like you who suffer chronic pain. From their case histories, I derive certain conclusions. Some conclusions are bold and imaginative. Some are disturbing and frightful. Not all of them will apply to you, but some certainly will. My wish is that you gain greater understanding of you.

Acid reflux is by far the most widespread gastrointestinal disorder. To put it in perspective, the U.S. alone spends more than $10B on reflux medications globally. Thus, given the incredible prevalence of medications you might wonder why: ⚠ WebMD reports the disease has increased +50% over the last decade⚠ The National Cancer Institute shares throat cancer, the fastest growing cancer, is +850% since 1975⚠ The Voice Institute finds mortality from throat cancer is +7x You may also wonder why mainstream medical approaches, which you might think would be the best cure for acid reflux, have not helped you address your acid reflux or GERD. The startling answer to both of these questions is thoroughly explored in this book. If you are among the 10% of sufferers with silent / laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) you may initially have been misdiagnosed with a number of respiratory illnesses ranging from asthma to allergies. Even specialists are at a loss with regards to an effective treatment and diagnosis leaving you to suffer the many symptoms alone: ⚠ Sleep disturbance - breathing difficulty, choking, coughing⚠ Social challenges - hoarseness, clearing throat, belching⚠ Health issues - pain, mucus, lump in throat, difficulty swallowing⚠ Food and drink Issues - regurgitation, indigestion, eating problems⚠ Emotional distress - anxiety, stress, apathy In addition to these symptoms, there is the growing concerns of long term damage, cancer, and long term effects of reflux medications. Tell-tale signs include: ⚠ Tingling in hands, arms, feet, legs, mouth⚠ Fatigue, lightheadedness, nausea⚠ Anxiety, memory loss, depression⚠ Muscle aches, cramps, spasms, weakness⚠ Vision loss, blurriness, trouble focusingDespite these troubling side effects most have resigned to the fact that they will need to take these medications far beyond the recommended 14 days. The trouble is the symptoms come back with a vengeance as soon as you stop taking them. Sadly doctors do not have an alternative to offer. Feeling dissatisfied with mainstream medical advice, many turn to the internet. Unfortunately, there is an overwhelming amount of information on the internet from diets to detox plans. Sadly, the myriad of information sources do not focus on explaining or addressing the root causes of acid reflux. Consequently, they are ill equipped to help you do much more than mitigate symptoms. In contrast, this book is not band-aid masquerading as a cure. All conclusions and recommendations are discussed in simple terms and backed by hundreds of hours studying medical research. Furthermore, they are personally tested by the author, who prior to applying the methods in this book, suffered acid reflux for +15 years. The book is centered on a three phase transition plan: ① Revise (2 wks) - establish your baseline② Restore (4-6 wks) - address root causes③ Renew (2+ wks) - return to normal Discover the complete solution to understanding and healing and take your first step towards addressing the true root causes of your acid reflux. Join the thousands of individuals on TheAcidRefluxGuy.com who have discovered this life changing information! The transition plan and bonus quick hits (managing mucus, battling breath issues, and solving sleep problems) guides are a remarkably powerful combination designed to help you get results today! The three phase plan is the best treatment for acid reflux. It's not a meal plan, exercise routine, or an appeal to give up everything you love. Instead, it lays the foundation for a quick and smooth transition off of medications / supplements and a return to normal.

Dr. Aviv guides readers through healthy dietary choices with targeted recipes, helping them balance their bodies and minds for optimal health and break acid-generating habits for good. Do you suffer from abdominal bloating; a chronic, nagging cough or sore throat; postnasal drip; a feeling of a lump in the back of your throat; allergies; or shortness of breath? If so, odds are that you are experiencing acid reflux without recognizing its silent symptoms, which can lead to serious long-term health problems, including esophageal cancer. In The Acid Watcher Diet, Dr. Jonathan Aviv, a leading authority on the diagnosis and treatment of acid reflux disease, helps readers identify those often misunderstood symptoms while providing a proven solution for reducing whole-body acid damage quickly and easily. His 28-day program is part of a two-phase eating plan, with a healthy balance of both macronutrients (proteins, carbs, and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants), that works to immediately neutralize acid and relieve the inflammation at the root of acid reflux.
