Chapter 1 - Introduction

Acid reflux — the words are all too familiar in today's culture. What health condition causes all this recognition among so many people?

Maybe it's because we are inundated with commercials about this condition or because many people try to self-diagnose this condition when they feel a bit of heartburn.

While the instinct of many is to dismiss acid reflux as a seemingly simple condition, it can be incredibly difficult to live with. If you don't receive the proper diagnosis and work through a proper treatment plan with a medical professional, acid reflux can take over your life.
