Heartburn and acid reflux affect tens of millions of Americans, disrupting sleep, meals, and daily life. Acid Reflux and Heartburn In 30 Minutes is written by J. Thomas Lamont, M.D., a gastroenterologist and Harvard Medical School Professor who has treated thousands of patients with heartburn, acid reflux, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Using plain-English explanations and real patient case studies, Dr. Lamont walks patients and families through what causes reflux, how it is diagnosed, and what treatment options are available — from lifestyle changes and medications to surgery.
This gold Benjamin Franklin Award-winning guide is not a do-it-yourself treatment manual. A doctor is needed to diagnose and manage serious reflux. But if you want to understand what your physician is recommending and why — or simply make sense of a confusing diagnosis — this is the book to read first.

- Patients diagnosed with GERD or acid reflux preparing to discuss treatment with their doctor
- Pregnant women experiencing heartburn and looking for safe management guidance

- Family members and caregivers supporting someone managing chronic acid reflux

- Surgical treatment of reflux, including the LINX device
- Four patient case studies covering a range of reflux scenarios and outcomes

Review
"There are three strengths to this work: The writing takes complicated subject matter and makes it easy to comprehend; stock illustrations augment the text; and the content is extremely focused. Lamont’s superb credentials should instill confidence in readers." - Kirkus
