Has anyone done the reflux diet?

I want to preface this by saying that this is not something that I'm doing to lose weight. My ENT recommended I look into this diet to help with my acid reflux.

The diet is by Jamie Koufman, and her book is called Dropping Acid:The Reflux Diet Cookbook and Cure.

I'm just wondering if anyone's tried this and had good results. I think I'm going to order the book soon (I'm not seeing available on Kindle), and wanted to know what others thought.

I found a site that discusses the induction phase of the diet, which cuts out a lot of things (but I've already cut out alcohol, coffee most of the time, all tomato-based products, and most spicy foods).

So, has anyone tried this? Anyone read the book? TIA

I basically did when I was breastfeeding my reflux baby. No coffee, soda, tomatoes, citrus, dairy, soy, etc. it sucked. But I guess it sucked for me because it want four my own symptoms. Eating that way was worth it for baby and I'm sure it would be if I had reflux and it helped my symptoms. Not fun though.

@spainy17 did you use this book? Was it helpful?

Thanks for your response @claryplax. I'm already on a medication regimen, and the doctor and I are looking for additional help from the diet.
