Summary: Invaluable resource for everyday folks
Review: About a year ago I had very uncomfortable gastro-intestinal issues. Specialists performed a series of horrifying tests and and after four months had no diagnosis. Taking matters into my own hands, I picked up and read "The good gut guide" and begrudgingly changed my diet and lifestyle. I am pleased to report that my guts are good. Thank you for the well written and user friendly guide book.

Summary: A LAYMAN'S GUIDE TO STOMACH DISORDERS
Review: An incredible collection of what can go wrong with your gut. The Good Gut Guide provides answers and direction for the unknowing parent, friend or neighbor that has been battling just about any type of intestinal problem you can imagine. Zinser uses humor to break through the embarrassment we all generally feel when talking about constipation, gas or other sensitive issues like these. The book is reader friendly, educational and still amazingly detailed. My nine-year-old daughter suffers from chronic constipation. The Guide provided me with invaluable insight for treatments that had not previously been explored by top physicians over the past five-years. I applaud Zinser for writing such a classy book! When word gets out about "The Guide's" usefulness, I believe that millions of people may very well be healed in the years ahead. The Good Gut Guide is the best tool you can have when you aren't sure why your stomach hurts. Take it with you to your next doctor's visit, he or she may just learn a thing or two. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

Summary: Good good good
Review: The Good Gut Guide is positively refreshing -- blowing clean cool air on gastrointestinal subjects that have been for too long "impolite" to discuss. It is written in understandable and witty English and covers quite thoroughly the whole range of "gut" disorders, from simple aches and pains to serious surgeries. There isn't one of us who hasn't from time to time suffered some gut problem, and this is a great resource to know what to do about it, with always a range of treatment options presented. Very helpful is the section on how to talk to your doctor about your problems, something that often makes people uncomfortable, offering alternative language for various conditions. A very impressive book!Carol Rauch

Summary: An excellent home resource for digestive disorders
Review: This book clearly lays out disorders of the digestive tract, and even addresses personal issues with embarrassment, intimacy, and other non-medical impacts of these disorders. I liked the anatomy section in the beginning which laid a foundation for understanding and imparted new respect for digestion. I actually found myself wanting to eat better and somewhat dismayed at the stress bad food & drink habits have on my body! I also liked that it offered medical, wholistic, herbal, and even aromatherapy ideas for treatment. I read the whole book in one sitting the day after I got it. While my diagnosis in quite minor, I feel this book gave me an overview of where it could lead if untreated, and lots of practical advise on how to deal with the situation and improve my lifestyle. I guess my only regret is not paying for expedited shipping so that I could have read it sooner!
