This Book Saved My LIfe

I developed Celiac Disease approx. 20 years ago. Not one doctor was able to help me with the problems that disease causes in your body. I spent a day reading this book (I am a very fast reader) and I found that the symptoms that I had been living with were described in this book. I decided to try a gluten free diet for one week. The next day was the difference between night and day. I have been eating gluten free for two years now... and am symptom free. Do I have to eat special foods... sometimes... but most of the time... I just have to pay attention to the labels on the foods I eat. More and more restaurants are providing gluten free choices on their menus. When I read this book, it was like a new beginning in my digestive life!

Excellent Resource Book on food & digestive medical exams

I have read & referenced a number of books on digestive health. This book is excellent. It is one of the first that clearly & quickly gives you the information you need on food but also the medical exams to detect digestive health problems. Also, the book does a great job of giving you the advantages and disadvantages. For example, the authors talk about a food and then caution on potential problem. The authors talk about medicines like proton pump inhibitors, antacids, milk of magnesium and then give you the advantages and disadvantages. The authors talk about medical tests and how they are conducted, how to prepare, questions to ask your doctor, etc... The book is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to prevent a digestive problem, or suspects that they have a digestive problem, or is living with a digestive problem or recovering from one.
