CAN SOMEONE PLEASE create a whole foods plant-based recipe and meal plan book based on Dr. Aviv’s low acid guide?!?!? I have The Acid Watcher Diet book and its pH lists of foods, but I’m so lost on what to eat to be nutritionally balanced and tasty!

[@joytownsend8400]

After seeing this, I immediately followed Dr. Aviv's recommendations. Within just 48 hours I felt so much better!!! Have been WFPB since 2012, but in 2015 started having GI problems. Was diagnosed with Acid Reflux. I was quite confused, because I thought that eating WFPB would have prevented this. Now I know from Dr. Aviv that even some of the healthiest foods on a WFPB diet needs to be tweaked. I had gone to 6 gastrointestinal doctors. Five of them never mentioned diet and the 6th one wanted me to go back to SAD! I am hoping, Chef AJ, that you can come up with and share recipes that are low acid, SOS WFPB. Only about 10% of the recipes in his books are. The community would be so very grateful!!!!

[@marypfender9984]

I found this so interesting but I have to say I was disappointed when I got his cookbook and found recipes were not WFPB compliant. Maybe I missed something here that said he wasn't plant based. Hopefully as you said Chef AJ can come up with low acid recipes!

[@cheezyquackers3981]

I had the LES surgery many years ago. Not one doctor asked what I ate.

[@alisonbamford6723]

@@marypfender9984if you read his book he does include lean poultry, fish & eggs - although he does say only if you have no issues with them. Chef AJ has invited him because even some vegans have Acid Reflux or LPR, and his diet does contain enough vegetables & some fruit that plant-based eaters can create meals with.

[@deed6759]

I have been misdiagnosed for allergies for years (8 y.). I was just diagnosed with Gerd last year. I am being pumped with anti acid medication. I hate it. After listening to Dr. AVIV, I realize it was a pepsin beginner and now has turned into Gerd. Thank you for explaining - in detail- what acid reflux is and how it differs from pepsin. All my systems were upper until the put me on anti-acid medications.

[@shantinaturechild3239]

Look up foods that cause acid reflux and look into food combining and don't lie down. Stop the toxic medication if you wish to be healthy and not get Alzheimer's.

I bought his book the 28 day acid reflux diet - great book. Also bought the cookbook which had lots of recipes with olive oil, chicken and salmon. Sending cookbook back.

[@katieandree]

I have been vegan since 2011 and have never been able to fix my reflux issues. I've actually found it especially difficult to enjoy eating WFPB because so many of the recipes call for tomato-based products or lots of onion or garlic or vinegar to make things taste better. A WFPB Acid-Free cookbook would sincerely be a god-send. I have Dr. Aviv's book but there aren't really very many vegan recipes. If you made one, I would pay like $500 for it at this point haha. Please :)

My wife suffers from oral facial granulomatosis, a disease with mouth lesions that is attributed to an autoimmune situation. She is also taking a low dose of a PPI for reflux. The problem with the PPI is that it might increase autoimmune problems. There is no study that I can find that definitely associated GERD with OFG ... But I think there could well be a relation and that an Acid Watchers Diet could help her (and also my severe GERD).

This is so interesting to me. All he talks about with the throat and even the shortness of breath is what I deal with. I've have my esophagus stretched due to trouble swallowing and choking. WFPB has helped me a lot, however I do still have some of the symptoms he describes. I plan on getting his book. AJ, is there any way he could recommend a Dr. in my area since I am in Pa. I've yet to find a specialist who addresses my concerns in this way. Thank you for any help you have to offer.

Thank you so very much for having Dr. Aviv. My primary reason for following Chef AJ and doing a WFPB lifestyle is controlling my reflux. Losing weight is important but not as primary. This diet has made an amazing difference for me. I first read Dr. Aviv's book about 5 years ago and it changed my life. I have been bringing together Chef AJ's recipes with Dr. Aviv's recommendations and my own knowledge of my body. Thank you thank you thank you!

Is there a quick home remedy to alleviate those heartburn or swelling of esophagus when you have an episode?

[@kellyg9468]

Fantastic interview. I suffer from lifelong asthma/allergies and most recently (last 5 years) have been diagnosed with GERD. Upper endoscopy revealed the start of Barrett's esophagus as well (thankfully followup endoscopy no longer showed signs of that). I've been on Prilosec ever since that first endoscopy. Don't know how to spell Dr. Aviv's "huffing/coughing" but I do that ALL DAY LONG. Always thought it was more allergy based but now I realize it is probably the opposite. Definitely going to grab his book and learn more about how to better eat or neutralize certain foods to still enjoy them occasionally.

A brilliant idea for the future would be holiday seasons summer autumn winter spring but things like acid reflux birthdays, easter, halloween, xmas and etc. But maybey also turned into books it would mske a great acid watcher collection. Also apple donuts are becoming popular instead of bread apple slices with fruit toppings are being used on top instead. Cant wait to try them next week. I am feeling so well now i do want a donut binge but i refuse Becuase i am feeling way to good. My control for food is brilliant now. Got groceries delivered and someone gave me the wrong groceries a massive block of my favourite chocolate was sent to me by mistake i immediately put it back in the bag and have given the groceries to my neighbours. The acid watcher diet is not the book i wanted it was the book i needed. Thanks guys.

#double check greek yogurt im not sure if and when we are allowed to have greek yogurt but to replace donuts use regular wholemeal toast and buy a donut shape cutter. Spread the yogurt on the toast which should be in the shape of a donut and add fruit on top and remember those delicious krispy kremes that look amazing are fake, they are not real dispising how good looking they taste or look. As the saying goes if its too good to be true it probably is. My partner last night taught me the expression " as you sow, so shall you reap". A few minutes of food pleasures leads to a month of unpleasant stomache displeasures.

Johnathan aviv Hi mr aviv. Thankyou so much for your acid reflux videos they really are inspiring and thankyou for your help sir. My name is nicole 32 all the way from south australia in the city of adelaide. I have been a acid reflux sufferer for a number of years now. My local gp told me i have acid reflux and that i should just avoid caffeine and have lots of small meals. I mean what is that? 😂 There was absolutely no mention of making my meal times last for 20 to 30 minutes, no eating 2 to 3 hours before bed, he failed to mention no red meats, no citrus, no sauces, sugars, salts, no tomato juice onion garlic, he didnt mention the safest dairy products of which i have become fascinated with soy milk and almond milk its currently my latest healthy obsession. There was no mention of not touching canned foods and having skinless fish and chicken. My ph levels throat or esophagus werent checked or even scripted to check but i did have a ultra sound where acid was not detected. I started watching your videos as my acid reflux was severe i ended up having to lock myself in my own home for nearly 3 months dealing with this acid reflux on my own due to being unwell. I just couldnt figure it out. After watching one of your inspiring videos i decided to get off my weekly one treat a week whether it was a bag of crisps or one minitaure chocolate for 12 whole weeks. 3 weeks in and i started to notice a magnificent difference while still eating 30 minute meals every 3 hours even if it was something small like making an apple last for 30 minutes for breakfast. I finally went outside again and for the 1st time in 3 months i finally got my hair done and went for a walk. I really love your battery acid method where you tell people having a bottle of soft drink or a chocolate bar is like me saying oh i only drink battery acid one a month. Its a real page turner for me and realisation because i have alot of battery operated appliances in my home. I did have a miniature junk food binge over the werkend. I bought a bag of chocolate and ended up only eating half and threw the rest out. I didnt feel good eating the chocolate it wasnt as i remebered not as needed or good as i thought. I have also cancelled the latest krispy kreme order as i love to keep up with the latest trends which actually got me thinking as to why im writing to you today. Something that has reaaly got through to me is telling myself that processed food does not belong in our body our bodies weren't created to have processed foods such as chips chocolate cake soft drink. If we look back at the classic ham and pineapple pizza have a look at desperate housewives making cookies baking cherry pies and cakes. Pizza has changed over the years we can now get dessert pizza a pizza smothered with hot fudge and marshmalllows, nacho pizza a pizza that is loaded with chips sour cream and more. Even milkshakes these days have lollies and chocolate pieces inside of them and these are the things that people are attracted to. If we look at a traditional banana this is what we get a banana. But if you were to place a banana next to the latest krispy kreme which is currently chocolate hersheys in Australia a donut smothered in hersheys topping sprinkled with miniature choloates. C'mon what do you think people will buy? Donuts these days have glistening toppings some in australia just a little while ago had some with rainbow sugar straps on them known as rainbow donuts. #these were delicious by the way. I know you have my full permission to tell me off. From when i was a child i can only recall a few fruit and vegetable commercials one was a banana commercial with people having fun with bananas one girl was dancing in a banana skirt, the other was a mandarin advert where someone made a smiley face with the mandarin or orange, i remember some fruit tree commercials, and a farmer made out of a vegetable face and one sports athlete telling us to grab 5 a day. These days fruit commercials are repulsive they have all this fruit advertised so they can go into lollies and other packaged foods so people think how healthy they are. The juice i had yesterday was at a 2 star health rating which means not healthy. One commercial i watched only yesterday had a vomiting piece of fruit. If we have a look at milk these days flavoured milk even flavoured milk these days is becoming loaded with chocolates and lollies. Cereal is now being placed in ice creams. Alot of people think that a cherry chocolate cake is good for us. People think that its ok because they are eating a few cherries. Wrong its not okay. It should be the other way around. There should be more fruit than the cake or better yet no cake at all. I also really love your 730 kitchen closed rule. I have gotten myself i to a really beautiful routine. My dinner is no later than 7pm so at 730 i am finished or finishing dinner the kitchen is clean and i live waking up to a clean kitchen every morning. I stay up reading for 2 to 3 hours which is brilliant for my job as a writer so dim lights rarely any tv i sleep all tjroughout te night know and i think the hot soy and almond milks that have replaced the hot chocolates are helping with that to. I mentioned before that i have alot of batteries in my home. Normally its lights out when the restaraunt closes but now its my favourite lights go on in the kitchen when its kitchen closed. I look forward to kitchen closed every night now and now i know that i can be betyer withing 3 weeks and will now continue to be getting stronger as the days go by i have even confirmed a business trip overseas. Sometimes the sugary cravings kick hard like hot dogs burgers and even chocolate and even seafood with all the trimmings like vinegar and lemon sauce. Have you got any tips for those sugary and not so sugary cravings. Normally after 3 days if im still craving the same thing i go for it but ive incresed this to 3 weeks maybe a month now. Have you got any tips, advice and is there anything you wish to add. Thankyou so much for your work, the videos are great keep up the brilliant worrk and thankyou for helping us

If nothing else works to treat acid reflux problem, try eating red apples for a few days. You will see positive results.

Why can't our GP'S get onto this information? Took me years to find this solution.
