Heartburn Cured

Heartburn Cured was written by a by a microbiologist who has proposed a novel root cause of GERD. The book has received favorable reviews by scientists, physicians and health advocacy groups. Previous theories held that certain (trigger) foods could relax or weaken the LES muscles and trigger reflux. This makes no sense and does not fit the facts. Heartburn Cured provides overwhelming evidence that GERD is ultimately caused by repeated cycles of carbohydrate malabsorption and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). When this happens, normally harmless bacteria become harmful. That is because the overgrowing bacteria produce lots of gas (carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane) by a process called fermentation. If too much gas is produced but not dissipated by intestinal absorption or metabolism by gas consuming bacteria, it can create pressure in the small intestine and stomach that actually drives the reflux of stomach contents past the LES into the esophagus.
