Dr. Jonathan Aviv, MD, FACS

he Acid Watcher movement, developed by Dr. Jonathan Aviv, MD, FACS, is the culmination of over 25 years of both clinical experience as an ear, nose & throat doctor, and surgical experience as a head and neck surgeon. While at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, now called the Columbia University Medical Center, as the Director of Head and Neck Surgery there, Dr. Aviv invented a medical device called FEESST (Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing with Sensory Testing). FEESST is a non-X-ray alternative to the traditional X-ray based tests of swallowing. FEESST measures sensation in the throat as one swallows.

The Acid Watcher Cookbook

Jonathan Aviv, renowned ENT physician and author of The Acid Watcher Diet, supplies readers with new recipes and advice on how to stay acid-free and reverse inflammation for optimal health.

The Acid Watcher Diet, Dr. Jonathan Aviv gave acid reflux sufferers a pathway to healing, helping them identify the silent symptoms of acid damage and providing a two-phase eating and lifestyle plan to reduce whole-body acid damage and inflammation. Now, The Acid Watcher Cookbook widens the possibilities of what acid watchers can eat without repercussions. For many people struggling with acid damage, acidic foods like tomatoes, citrus fruits, vinegar, and reflux-inducing foods like raw onion and garlic, and chocolate are off-limits. After hearing patient after patient bemoaning the loss of vinaigrette, tomato sauce, ketchup, guacamole, and other staples, Dr. Aviv and coauthor Samara Kaufmann Aviv developed an innovative method of cooking that combines acidic foods with alkaline foods so that acidity is neutralized.

The Acid Watcher Diet

Do you suffer from abdominal bloating; a chronic, nagging cough or sore throat; post nasal drip; a feeling of a lump in the back of your throat; allergies; or a shortness of breath? If so, odds are that you are experiencing acid reflux without recognizing the silent symptoms. Even without the presence of heartburn or indigestion, more than 60 million people are suffering from acid-related disorders that are undetected or untreated–and leading to long-term health problems, including the rapid rise of esophageal cancer. Since there are no outward signs of acid damage and the typical symptoms might not be recognized, until now you might not have known how pervasive acid reflux is or that you have it.

FEESST enables otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, and pulmonologists to raise the level of care for their patients with swallowing problems. This is an essential text for all physicians, clinicians and speech pathologists that treat swallowing disorders. For the first time this new examination allows direct assessment of both the motor and sensory aspects of the swallow, enabling physicians to precisely guide the dietary and behavioral management of patients to decrease the risk of aspiration pneumonia.
