Introduction
Each of the recipes in this book has been carefully designed, tested and
optimized specifically for Acid Reflux and heartburn sufferers. The majority of
recipes are easy to prepare and with little time and practice you will be able to
quickly pick the recipes that appeal to you or suit your requirements and easily
incorporate them into your diet.
Like everything worthy, it takes time and persistence to shift from old eating
habits to new more healthy and digestion friendly eating style. But choosing low
calorie foods with high nutritional value and avoiding foods that can trigger
problems or aggregate your existing condition, along with adhering to the 6
dietary Principles outlined in the Heartburn No More book can be extremely
rewarding. In most cases, you may experience positive results, feelings of well-
being and relief from previous health problems almost immediately.
Important notes:
1.The meal planning, daily menus and recipes outlined in this book are merely
suggestions. Always use your judgment and consult your doctor prior to planning
and building your meals based on the recipes and menus outlined in the book. It
is important to carefully choose the recipes that suit the severity of your Acid
Reflux condition, while avoiding foods and ingredients that you’re allergic to.
3. Choose organic or natural, fresh and good quality foods whenever possible.
This is especially important when it comes to red meat and chicken.
4. Eating at least 3 meals a day is the basic rule of thumb for healthy nutrition.
Always make sure you adhere to the dietary Principles and food combining/
digestion optimization guidelines outlined in the Heartburn No More book. Try to
break your meals into small portions, never drink while eating and remember to
chew your food slowly to optimize digestion.
5. Some of the recipes contain cooked beans, lentils, and peas. While beans,
lentils, and peas are rich sources of protein, potassium, and fiber which can
benefit a GERD diet, they are also gas forming foods. People with severe GI
disorders, gas forming foods may negatively react to even the smallest amounts
of gas formation, which can lead to IBS and spasm in the esophagus and thus
aggravate GERD. If you suffer from chronic GI disorders, or have a tendency to
produce gas after consuming beans and legumes, I suggest that you either
substitute these foods with less gas forming foods (see the food substitution list)
or avoid recipes which contain these food elements altogether.
Bon Appetite,

Food Combining
Food combining especially during Acid Reflux treatment can be very beneficial for
the body and can dramatically help the healing process. While there are many
conflicting points when it comes to proper food combining, let’s try and separate
the wheat from the chaff and outline the most important food combining
principles for optimal digestion:
Principle one: Protein digested foods such as red meat; eggs, fish and
dairy should be taken separately from carbohydrate digested foods. This rule
does not apply on most protein that comes from vegetable sources such as
legumes (vegetarians can eat legumes such as lentils with brown rice for
example). However, when eating animal protein digested foods, starches such as
pasta, potatoes and bread should be taken separately.
Principle two: Neutral foods such as vegetables, butter and sprouts can
be eaten with protein digested foods or with carbohydrate-digested foods but not
with both.
Principle three: Eat the hard to digest protein first at every meal. Raw
vegetables and salads should be taken first in vegetarian meals, and red meat,
fish, dairy or eggs should be eaten before salads in a non-vegetarian meal.
Principle four: While raw fruit should be strictly limited or avoided during
the first stages of the program, when you do eat fruit, make sure it is taken first
thing in the morning before meals. Never mix fruit with your meal or take it
after a meal or at night.
Principle five: Do not drink any liquids with your meals. You can take a
few sips before a meal or during your meal only in ‘emergency’ cases. (You want
to avoid these cases since one of the main principles of optimizing digestion is
chewing your food well).
Principle six: To assist the digestive process, chew your food well and mix
it with lots of saliva. Make sure you eat small pieces of food at a time.
Principle #2 -Rotation
For optimal digestion and to prevent allergies, you must rotate your foods. No
food should be eaten more than five days a week. Even your most favorite foods
should not be eaten every day.
turnips), 1 serving of legumes and 1 serving of nuts, seeds and natural oils.
Optional: 1 serving of fish/red meat/chicken.
The following menus are sample meal guidelines. Instead of following them
exactly as outlined, try to use these menus as suggestions while planning your
wholesome meals to include all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that your
body requires.
I have included five different daily menus aimed at different audiences. Each of
these daily menus contains raw outline of three meals (breakfast, lunch and
dinner).
Make sure that you consult a health specialist and food allergist, in order to
choose the best food combination that suits your requirements and special
condition while altering the menus to suit your personal needs.
You can also find plenty of snack ideas in the Snack and Dessert recipe section.

Food Substitutions
Since the vast majority of Acid Reflux sufferers have temporary or chronic food
sensitivity/allergy, and since I could not have outlined all the food alternatives
within the recipes outlined in this book, I have included the following chart
detailing possible food substitutions to the more common allergy triggering
foods. If you’re allergic or have sensitivity to a certain type of food not listed in
the chart below, feel free to email me and I will try me best to provide a proper
not less tasty alternative.
Organic Foods
Organic Tip #1: In most countries organic foods packages will be labeled
as “certified organic”. Make sure you avoid buying foods labeled “ transitional
organic foods”. These foods are not organic in nature as they have been grown
in areas/soil that work towards being organic.
Organic Tip #2: When buying organic foods, always choose the freshest
Organic Tip #3: Make it a priority to buy brand name organic products.
You can find out what the common best brand products are from your local
health food store or check it with your health specialist.
Organic Tip #4: Being free from chemicals and growth hormones,
organic fruit and vegetables will often carry familiar characteristics such as:
stronger aroma or scent, small size, darker colors and thicker skins. Make sure
you also look at these differences between organic foods and regular foods when
you search for meats as well, as organic meat, or free range poultry are often
less fatty, have more muscle and are more flavorful.
Following the guidelines below will save you loads of time, energy and money
when buying, cooking and organizing your daily anti-Acid Reflux diet plan:
Saving Tip #1: When cooking, make sure you cook only as much as you
can eat or store. This may sound elementary, but you would be surprise how
much money you can save by using large batches to be eaten or freezed before
they spoil.
Saving Tip #3: Make sure you alternate between fancy dishes with
expensive ingredients (artichokes, wild rice, nut butters, meats) with dishes
containing cheaper ingredients such as legumes and whole grains.
Saving Tip #4: Especially in the summer and if possible, it would be wise
to grow your own organic vegetables, sprouts and fruit. This garden activity can
not only save your money, it will also be highly beneficial for your health.
Saving Tip #5: Prepare large batches of meat dishes, sauces, whole
grains and legumes. Legumes and whole grains can be stored in a refrigerator
for up to 8 days. Meat dishes can be kept in the fridge up to 2-3 days. You can
cook even quadruple the amount of recipes and freeze half or more in freezing
jars or plastic containers. Make sure your label the batches and containers with
the date the food was prepared. Also, do not double or triple the amount of salt
when preparing double recipes as salt spreads further in larger batches.
Saving Tip #6: Herbs mixtures with measured quantities for common
recipes can be prepared in advance and stored in a jar. Pouring the content of
the herbs to a recipe rather than measuring everything bit by bit can save a lot
of time.
Saving Tip #7: Plan your meals In advance and buy all ingredients in
large batches needed for a week recipes.
Saving Tip #9: When freezing foods do not use plastic containers that
have had household cleaning products or soap in them. Always use clean jars
and plastic containers.
Saving Tip #10: Add some extra seasoning to a dish when freezing as
Breakfast
Blend all ingredients until a thick paste forms, this should be thick enough to
need a little shake to get it off the spoon.
Spoon an inch and a half depth into muffin pans, and cook for 45 mins at 120
centigrade (350f) or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Sesame Pancakes
Combine the first 5 ingredients. Add the oil and water. Stir gently. Cook them in
the pan.
Buckwheat Grits
Boil the water, add the grits and cook (stirring often) for about 10 minutes.
You can use chicken stock instead of water and add some frozen peas at the
end. You can also add some vanilla, cinnamon and Stevia.
Cauliflower Pancakes
Ingredients, Preparation & Cooking
In a food processor, puree cauliflower, add eggs, and blend thoroughly. Aim at
light colored and fluffy texture. Brown approximately 4 minutes on each side.

3 tablespoons chicolin
Grease your muffin pan, plop the mix in the cups, and put in the oven for around
20 minutes. Let them set for 15 minutes.
Mix dry ingredients together in one bowl, and wet ingredients together in
another. Then begin to stir together the dry ingredients combination with the
wet ingredients combination, adding water as you mix, using just enough water
to create thick dough. Not to the point of a thin batter, you want it to be quite
thick.
Transfer the dough to an oiled baking pan that is large enough to spread out the
dough to roughly an inch thick. Bake at 350 degrees until a fork poked into the
center comes out clean.
Breakfast Potatoes
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium until warmed. Sauté onion and potato,
stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add herbs, water and greens. Turn to high,
bring water to a boil, cover, turn to low and let simmer until potatoes are soft.

In a large saucepan combine onions, green pepper, ginger, garlic, coriander, and
salt, and saut יfor 10 minutes until vegetables are soft.
Add red peppers and saut יfor few more minutes. Add washed and drained rice,
stir and saut יfor 5 minutes until rice starts to brown. Add water and bring to
boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes or until all liquid is gone.
Preparation time: 10 min, cook time: 40 minutes, serves: 6
Chop and mince the onion and garlic. Add to a 10 - 12 inch frying pan and
combine with ¼ cup of the broth. Stirring often, saut יover a medium-high heat
until a brown film forms on the pan bottom (about six minutes). Deglaze the pan
by adding the lemon juice, stirring again to release the brown film. Repeat the
browning and deglazing process once or twice, using 2 tablespoons of broth each
time, until the vegetables are richly browned.
Add beans to onion/garlic mixture and coarsely mash while still in the pan. If
needed, add a little more broth to give the beans the texture of creamy mashed
potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the pan and arrange on a
serving plate in an attractive shape. Serve hot with buckwheat bread toast,
crackers or crudit יor chill by refrigerating for 4 hours and serve cold. It’s
delicious either way.
Cook the barley in the organic chicken broth and water until te liquid is absorbed
and the barley is tender. 2 Stir the apple cider vinegar and olive oil into the mix.
Chill the mixture. Stir the celery, carrot, and onion into the cooled barley mixture.
Serve.
Rice Salad
Dressing
Mix the salad ingredients in large serving bowl. Mix dressing ingredients
and pour over the salad. Cool the salad for several hours before serving.
This is an attractive way in which to serve sliced cucumbers and onions. A single
large cucumber should be selected for this salad.
With a sharp knife, peel the skin from the cucumber in narrow strips back to the
stem end, but do not cut the strips loose from the end. After the peeling has all
been removed, place the cucumber on a board and cut it into thin slices. Place
on a small platter, as shown, arrange slices of onion around the edge, and pour
French dressing over the whole. Dust with paprika and serve. A number of slices
of cucumber and one or two slices of onion should be served to each person.
Besides being appetizing in flavor and appearance, red pepper and string-bean
salad has the advantage over some salads in that it can be made of either fresh
or canned vegetables. For the salad here shown, red peppers and beans canned
by the cold-pack method were used. If it is desired to duplicate this salad, place
a canned red pepper or peeled fresh red peppers in the center of a plate
garnished with lettuce and around it place several piles of three or four canned
or freshly cooked beans. Serve with French dressing or any other desired salad
dressing.
Cabbage Salad
Ingredients, Preparation & Cooking
A salad that always finds favor is made by combining cabbage with a boiled
salad dressing or with an uncooked sour cream dressing. To make cabbage
salad, select a firm head of cabbage, pull off the outside leaves, and wash. Cut
the head in half down through the heart and root and cut each half into quarters.
Place each quarter on a cutting board and with a sharp knife shave off the
cabbage.
If desired, however, the cabbage may be shredded with a cabbage cutter. If the
cabbage, upon being cut, is found to be wilted, place it in cold water and let it
stand until it becomes crisp. Drain off the water carefully and allow the cabbage
to drip in a colander or dry it between pieces of old linen. With the cabbage thus
prepared, season it with salt and mix it with the desired dressing. Serve on
lettuce in a salad dish, on individual salad plates.
Cabbage and celery combine very well, for they are similar in color and
crispness. They can be procured at the same time of the year, and while celery is
not cheap, cabbage is a comparatively inexpensive food and the two combined
make an inexpensive salad. Because the color of both is very much the same,
pimiento is added to give a contrasting color.
1-cup cabbage
1-cup celery
1 pimiento or green pepper
1/2 teaspoon. salt
2 Tablespoon. apple cider vinegar
Lettuce
Breakfast Salad
Ingredients, Preparation & Cooking
2 Red peppers
1 Cucumber
1 tablespoonful Oil
1 Spring Onion
Half a Lettuce
2-tablespoonful apple cider vinegar
Scald the red peppers and take off the skin, and put them into cold water or on
to the ice until quite cold. Cut them up the same as an orange; peel and cut up
the cucumber into very thin slices and mince up the onion. Sprinkle these with
pepper and salt, pour over the oil and apple cider vinegar. Shred up the lettuce
and lay on the top, it is then ready to serve.
Winter Salad
Ingredients, Preparation & Cooking
A salad made entirely of winter vegetables may be prepared when there are no
fresh vegetables in supply. If any of the vegetables are left over, the others may
be prepared to use with the left-over ones.
A good plan to follow when carrots, turnips, or potatoes are being prepared for
a meal is to cook more than is necessary for the one meal and then set aside
part of them for a salad to be served at another meal.
Summer Salad
Ingredients, Preparation & Cooking
3 lettuces
2 handfuls of mustard-and-cress
Young radishes
A few slices of cucumber.
Let the herbs be as fresh as possible for a salad, and, if at all stale or dead-
looking, let them lie in water for an hour or two, which will very much refresh
them. Wash and carefully pick them over, remove any decayed or worm-eaten
leaves, and drain them thoroughly by swinging them gently in a clean cloth. With
a knife, cut the lettuces into small pieces, and the radishes and cucumbers into
thin slices; arrange all these ingredients lightly on a dish, with the mustard and
cress, and pour under, but not over the salad. Add sauce as necessary. Do not
stir it up until it is to be eaten. It may be garnished with hard-boiled eggs, cut in
slices, sliced cucumbers, nasturtiums, cut vegetable-flowers, and many other
things that taste will always suggest to make a pretty and elegant dish. In
making a good salad, care must be taken to have the herbs freshly gathered,
and thoroughly drained before the sauce is added to them, or it will be watery
and thin.
3 red peppers
Lettuce
6 cauliflower flowerets
Dressing
Select firm, ripe, medium-sized red peppers. Place them in boiling water to scald
them, and then dip them quickly into cold water and remove the skins. Cut out
the stem ends and slice each red pepper half way between the stem and
blossom ends. Place each half red pepper on a salad plate garnished with a
lettuce leaf, stick a stem of the cauliflower into the center, and serve with boiled
salad dressing. Sufficient to Serve Six.
Peas may be freshly cooked for this salad, but canned peas will do just as well.
Left-over peas not prepared with cream sauce may also be utilized nicely in this
way, or if a portion of a can of peas is needed for the meal, the remainder may
be used for a smaller quantity of salad than here stated. Boiled salad dressing
will be found to be best for this combination of vegetables.
1 c. peas
Boiled salad dressing
1 c. diced celery
Lettuce
Drain canned peas as dry as possible and mix with the diced celery. Just before
serving, add the salad dressing and mix thoroughly. Serve on salad plates
garnished with lettuce.
Asparagus Salad
Salad in which asparagus is the chief ingredient is one that may be served during
the entire year, for either freshly cooked or canned asparagus may be used; in
fact, the canned asparagus is considered by many persons to be better than that
which is freshly cooked.
Lettuce
1 pimiento
1 can asparagus
Salad dressing
Garnish salad plates with the lettuce. Place the asparagus tips in an orderly pile
on the lettuce leaf. Cut a thin strip of the pimiento, and place this across the tips
in the center. Just before serving, pour a spoonful or two of any desired salad
dressing over this or place the salad on the table and serve the dressing,
allowing each person to take what is desired. Sufficient to Serve Five.
Turnip Salad
Ingredients, Preparation & Cooking
4 Young Turnips
2 Spring Onions
2 Boiled Potatoes
Half a Lettuce
Salad Dressing
Peel and slice up the turnips and boil them for twenty minutes, or until soft. Let
them get quite cold. Shred up very small the onions, and slice up the potatoes.
Break up half a lettuce. Arrange these neatly in a bowl and pour over a simple
salad dressing.
Fish Salad
Ingredients, Preparation & Cooking
Drain the oil from the fish; remove the bone and bits of skin. Add the cabbage or
celery, and Salad Dressing. Arrange on lettuce and garnish as desired. The
salmon may be marinated before adding the other ingredients. When this is
done, the salad dressing may be omitted. Salmon contains so much fat that it is
not well to add more oil after marinating.
Chicken Salad
Ingredients, Preparation & Cooking
Trim neatly the remains of the chicken; wash, dry, and slice the lettuces, and
place in the middle of a dish; put the pieces of fowl on the top, and pour the
salad-dressing over them. Garnish the edge of the salad with hard-boiled eggs
cut in rings, sliced cucumber, and boiled beetroot cut in slices. Instead of cutting
the eggs in rings, the yolks may be rubbed through a hair sieve, and the whites
chopped very finely, and arranged on the salad in small bunches, yellow and
white alternately. This should not be made long before it is wanted for table.
Combine salt and apple cider vinegar in pan, bring to boil for 1 min. Cool.
Toss all other ingredients together and pour the vinegar mixture over them.
Marinate for 24 hrs in refrigerator, stirring occasionally.
Artichoke Salad
Ingredients, Preparation & Cooking
In a wooden salad bowl, mash garlic and salt with a strong fork. Add
fresh artichoke hearts, and mash with the garlic and salt. Add olive
oil, stir, add lemon juice, stir, add apple cider vinegar, stir, add hot
sauce, stir, add Lea, Mix well. Put artichoke hearts in dressing and let marinate
for 1 hour, then eat as is or serve on a bed of greens.

Hot Chocolate
Blend all the ingredients except the sweetener, then taste and add the
sweetener. Once you have reached the sweetness at which you would drink the
drink unheated, add some more sweetener so that it becomes a lot sweeter.
When you heat the drink, the sweetness will diminish. Add the sweetener when
the drink is cold.
Pour the drink into a non stick saucepan. Turn on the heat and bring to the boil,
stirring occasionally. Stir while boiling for 1-2 minutes. Turn the heat down and
continue stirring while simmering until you reach the temperature and thickness
you require.
Pour the drink into the mug. If you wish, sift some carob powder over the top of
the drink. If you have, by any chance, made any mock whip cream, you could
spoon some of this on top, then sift over the carob powder.
