Publisher Description
The Digestive Health Solution takes you on a journey of scientific discovery towards personalized, effective natural solutions for optimal digestive health. Stomach cramps, pain, bloating, gas, diarrhoea and constipation — collectively called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — affect 1 in 4 people. People can suffer tremendously from these symptoms, which often are not simply a digestive issue but also related to severe fatigue, muscle pain, headaches, depression and anxiety. Remarkably, IBS symptoms are still considered an enigma with no known cause; but in fact extensive research has uncovered numerous ways to resolve them and enhance digestive health. This book explores the mind–body connection, food intolerances, gluten sensitivity, dietary changes and key issues in the digestive system and provides practical ways to transform your digestive health. It looks at research on popular natural medicines, sifting fact from fiction and uncovering evidence-based, safe treatments that can enhance your digestion and improve, or even eliminate, symptoms fast. Using a personalized approach you can then follow an easy five-step plan for quick symptom relief, improve your health from the inside out and enjoy better digestive health, for life. This new edition includes updated information on gut bacteria and parasites, the FODMAP diet, additives and preservatives and a diet summary table.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
First-time author and naturopath Brown takes an intensely focused look at the causes, effects, and treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in this in-depth primer on a disease that has become a global epidemic. Kicking off with a straightforward dissection of the many medical myths surrounding IBS, including the dismissive idea that it exists largely in the minds of sufferers, Brown then offers tips on diagnosing IBS, identifying its symptoms and what can cause them stress, sleep deprivation, food intolerances, past acute gastrointestinal infections before discussing ways in which one can combat symptoms. A neatly laid-out five-week plan provides a comprehensive pick-and-choose arsenal of tools to control IBS, such as supplements, pre- and probiotics, diet, and stress management techniques. The book is exhaustive and at times slightly repetitious, but Brown's knowledge of IBS is undeniably vast and his statements are backed by well-documented research. Those who suffer from IBS will appreciate and benefit from his guidance.
