Treating GERD

[Dr Norm]

Hello,
My name is Dr. Norm Robillard. I am a microbiologist and recently wrote book, Heartburn Cured. My book can be found at HeartburnCured.com . My approach for GERD uses controlled carb dieting to prevent and reverse bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. I believe that consuming excess carbohydrates results in bacterial overgrowth and significant amounts of gas (hydrogen, carbon dioxide and in some cases, methane). My book provides evidence that this gas production is the root cause of acid reflux and by limiting carbohydrates, this situation can be reversed, thus curing GERD. I would be glad to answer questions readers might have on this board.

All the best,
Norm Robillard, Ph.D.

Hello Dr. Norm! Welcome.
I have a copy of this book on my night stand. I cannot recommend it highly enough. it was wonderful! To any of you who may suffer from GERD and loved all the science behind the Eades' books, then it will be a great read! I've posted in a few spots that eating this way during my pregnancy has definately kept away the hearburn. I can tell when I have splurged too much because the acid reflux and heartburn comes calling. But, since most of this pregnancy has been following PP, that hasn't happened too much. My last pregnancy I was popping Tums and then Zantac all the time!
Okay, I guess that's enough gushing from me.
