Restoring the body's acid-alkaline balance leads to better health and wellbeing. Maintaining an optimum acid-alkaline balance is integral to enjoying optimal health, yet our modern-day habits and preferences often wreak havoc with this delicate balance. Highly processed foods acidify the body as does a diet high in meat, dairy and sugar. The body becomes overwhelmed with this acid imbalance and this, in turn, causes acidosis, which can lead to a host of problems. Weight gain, gastrointestinal conditions, skin conditions, chronic fatigue and respiratory ailments are just some of the complications. The ideal diet that supports pH balance is rich in fresh fruits, roots, vegetables, legumes and nuts and avoids excess fats, sugars, refined foods, salt, alcohol, tobacco, coffee and tea. Part 1 - Understanding pH and Diet Part 2 - Common Gastrointestinal (GI) Conditions Part 3 - Managing pH-Related Disease Part 4 - The pH Diet Solution Program To reach optimum health one must address the acidity of the foods put into the body. This book will become the key resource on the crucial pH balance required.

I received a complimentary copy of The pH Balance Health & Diet Guide for GERD, IBS & IBD by authors Dr. Fraser Smith, Susan Hannah and Dr. Daniel Richardson and published by Robert Rose, Inc. This book immediately peaked my interest because I have children with GI conditions. My oldest daughter was diagnosed with IBD(Crohns Disease) at the age of sixteen. She had complications which resulted in surgery. And, about a decade ago my fourth daughter began to have symptoms of GERD at the age of eight-years-old. She has had relapses every four years since being diagnosed with it.

In the United States, approximately seven million people have some symptoms of GERD.



In this book, you will learn what is pH balance, how it is measured and how it can be restored. You will learn the ideal pH level for your body. You will learn about GI basics and therapies, lifestyle changes, medical therapies, complementary therapies and plans, balancing dietary fats, and food reactions. Chapter three begins by introducing you to the ph Balance Diet Program which features topics about food guides, food groups, balancing dietary fats, food reactions and how the diet works. Then it proceeds to the 28-day Meal Plan followed by 175 recipes for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner. This book will give you ample information that you need to follow an acid-alkaline balanced diet, and provides current information on common gastrointestinal conditions.


Restore your body’s acid-alkaline balance and enjoy better health and well-being.


At first, the book begins like a quick science lesson taking you back to high school, but it is made easy to understand and follow. I was introduced to many new things and was left with much to ponder about my own health and well-being. It is an awesome resource for future inquiries.


Did you know that the kind of water you drink can contribute to higher acidity in your body?
