DEAR DR. GOTT:
I have been on Prilosec for my acid indigestion. It works. Recently my daughter called me and told me that in India they have you eat a banana as a treatment for GERD and that I should try it. The next day I put a chopped up banana in my breakfast cereal. To my surprise it worked.

Since I have started this I have had no indigestion and have not had to take my Prilosec. I don’t know why or how it works but it does. Please pass this on to your readers.

DEAR READER:
Done. Like, you I have no idea why this would work but am curious to know if it works for others as well.

So readers, if you suffer from gastro-esophageal reflux disease or frequent heartburn and indigestion, please give this remedy a try and let me know what your results were. It is certainly novel, not to mention tasty, but if it works, it could also save a fair amount of money (which is important in these ever-worsening economic times). Bananas are much cheaper and healthful than are medications.

Thanks for sharing and I will be sure to print a follow-up in the future when I have received plenty of responses.

To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Hiatal Hernia, Acid Reflux and Indigestion”. Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped number 10 envelope and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.
