Summary: A one-of-a-kind masterpiece
Review: Dr. Levy has provided a wonderful service by writing this comprehensive, engaging, organized and clear book on tummy problems in infants and children. Yes, the intestinal diseases are discussed. Even more important though are the user-friendly reviews of the questions about green stools, gassiness, colic, spitty babies, and school absence. Dr. Levy's advice is a must- read on the topics of family meals, TV time and parenting. This book should be on your shelf right next to Dr. Spock.

Summary: A Must Read for Parents
Review: Dr. Levy's book is a true find for any parent and especially for those whose child(ren) have repeated stomach aches or digestive problems. The book is very well organized beginning with the clearest description of how the digestive system should work that I have ever read. The book covers different types of stomach pain, common disorders and finally tons of information on more serious digestive problems. This book is easy to understand providing plenty of basic information about nutrition (most of which I should have known but did not). Yet the book also gives enough detail to be of real help to a parent searching for answers trying to decide what to do next to help their child. A great present for any parent's bookshelf.

Summary: I LOVE DR. LEVY!
Review: Eventhough I am fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Levy's and can seek his advice directly from him, I have found his book to be a valuable tool in helping with everyday gastrointestinal issues, all of which are clearly explained.

Summary: You Better Buy Two...
Review: I brought a copy of Dr. Levy's book into my office to show a co-worker who has a child that has been complaining of stomachaches and my co-worker claimed the book for her own. The book walks you through the basics of the digestive system and onto discovering what may be ailing your child. The writing is simple enough for a parent to understand and the index in the back helps pinpoint pertinent sections for quick reference. "My Tummy Hurts" is a must-have for any parent trying to figure out why his/her child's stomach aches...which means all of us!

Summary: This should have been one of the baby shower gifts!
Review: I wish I'd had this on hand for my first's early years, but am relieved to have such a clear and accessible and comprehensible book for all the years to come! The tables and charts are particularly helpful, but for once even the narrative is clear for non-medical people. One of the things that makes this book special is that it helps us (parents, but anyone taking care of a kid, really) be part of the solution -- gives great lists of questions to ask when there's belly pain, etc. I expect to feel much more helpful at the doctor's office next time, and less at a loss when my children have the (inevitable) next problem. I actually gave a sigh of relief after reading Dr. Levy's advice on colicky babies! Reference and guidebook all in one.

Summary: I want Dr. Levy for my doctor
Review: In a clear, nonmedical voice directed to parents, Dr. Levy explains the different types of stomach pain, and what it means, what we should do, and what it could be. It all sounds the same to me as a mother of 4, and he has been able to walk me through the what I should think, and the what I should do. I am indebited to him for his guidance, in nonmedical English, and straightforward explanations of different problems I thought I had understood and didn't. Eveyone needs this book if they are a parent, and it helps us as parents to. Buy this book, now.

Summary: A masterpiece from the master!
Review: We have been very blessed to be a patient of Dr. Levy's. He is an amazing doctor and has literally turned our lives around. My baby spent the first few months of her life in severe pain, until the day we first met Dr. Levy. This book is an invaluable resource and provides a wealth of information about how the digestive system works, the digestive health of babies, nutrition, GI disorders and tools for diagnosing tummy troubles. Of particular interest to us was the chapter on Reflux and GERD since this is what my daughter has. It is amazing how many parent's I have spoken to who have a pediatrician who misdiagnoses their babies reflux. This book can prevent that since it provides so much information on signs and symptoms of so many GI disorders, diseases and aliments. The book is very easy to follow and the information is very easy to understand. This book should be given to new mother's when they leave the hospital and should be on every pediatrician's desk. It can ease the worries of parent's both new and experienced, reduce phone calls to the doctor and help guide a parent in the right direction to find the best care for their child. Buy this book!!
