Poor gut health is a core underlying issue which has serious implications for overall health. It is estimated that one-third to one-half of all adults suffer from some sort of digestive problem such as constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, coeliac disease, heartburn, indigestion, colitis, Crohn's disease or diverticulitis Awareness of digestive disorders is growing rapidly, with new research on chronic digestive diseases being published weekly and special diets such as gluten-free becoming increasingly widespread A clear, easy-to-follow, 5-step plan complete with over 70 delicious recipes Synopsis It is now widely recognised that gut health is critical to our overall health and that many major health concerns can be linked to an irritated or unhealthy gut. In fact, an unhealthy gut contributes to a wide range of chronic health disorders such as autoimmune conditions, allergies, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression and mood swings. What's worse, gut health issues affect a huge proportion of people and are often on-going and difficult to resolve. But it does not have to be this way.
In this revolutionary 30-day programme, Christine Bailey shows you how, instead of treating the symptoms as they arise, you can tackle the root causes with five simple steps Remove, Replace, Repopulate, Repair and Rebalance. This programme will help you to remove the underlying factors wreaking damage to your gut, restore digestive health, quench inflammation, heal the gut for good - and achieve true, long-lasting health.
A great resource, The Gut Health Diet Plan offers information, solutions and hope to people suffering from gut problems like IBS, celiac disease, gluten sensitivity and other digestive problems.
I was interested to read this because I have minor stomach problems from time to time and I was looking for ideas on how to improve my digestion. The information is laid out in an easy to understand and precise way. No scientific jargon to confuse you, just plain English. I especially liked the information about probiotic supplements and leaky gut, I've done a little reading on both subjects and the information in the book backed up a lot of what I read and even gave new information that I didn't know.
The book also has an easy to follow meal plan with plenty of recipes that are dairy-free, grain free and a lot of them are Paleo. I don't know that I'll be able to do the whole program, but I intend to implement a lot of things in my diet (like fermented foods and Kefir) and see if that helps my overall digestive help.
I definitely recommend this book for anyone with tummy troubles, whether you take the plunge and follow the program or if you just want to learn more about how to heal your gut.
