Do you suffer from abdominal bloating, a chronic, nagging cough or sore throat, post-nasal drip, a feeling of a lump in the back of your throat, allergies, or shortness of breath?

If so, the odds are that you are experiencing acid reflux without recognising the silent symptoms.

- In The Acid Watcher Diet, Dr Jonathan Aviv, one of the leading authorities on the diagnosis and treatment of acid reflux disease, helps readers identify those silent symptoms and provides his proven solution for reducing whole-body acid damage quickly and easily.

- Even without the presence of heartburn or indigestion, more than 60 million people are suffering from acid-related disorders that are undetected or untreated, leading to long-term health problems, including the rapid rise of oesophagal cancer. 

- Since there are no outward signs of acid damage and the typical symptoms might not be recognised, until now, you might not have known how pervasive acid reflux is or that you have it.

- Dr Aviv's 28-day programme includes a two-phase eating plan, menu guide and recipes, and works to immediately neutralize acid, stabilize pH levels and relieve the inflammation at the root of acid reflux. 

- Dr Aviv's Power of Five rule will help readers discover the key foods that offer fast relief, and his Daily Six will reveal the foods to avoid (onion, tomato, citrus and more).
