What’s Up With Your Gut?
Why you bloat after eating bread and pasta… and other gut problems
By Jo Waters and Professor Julian Walters
What’s Up With Your Gut? takes a practical look at the full range of gut problems, using a symptom-led approach so that sufferers can recognise what may have been troubling them for years and find solutions.
It then describes the range of solutions, both standard and alternative, emphasising the importance of what is eaten/food intolerances and the impact of poor digestion on overall health. Whether you suffer cramping diarrhoea when you are stressed out, get constipated when you’re on holiday or just feel fatigued by your grumbling guts, they show what the options are for diagnosis, symptom improvement and tackling the underlying causes.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Navigating Your Way to Recovery
by Dr Megan Arroll and Professor Christine Dancey
IBS is an invisible disease - those who have it battle on pretending nothing is wrong and hiding their potentially embarrassing symptoms. And it isn’t life-threatening - so why would anyone take it seriously? Yet it can significantly restrict how we live and work, even making some people housebound for fear of unexpected flare ups.
Based on their experience as both patients and health specialists, Dr Arroll and Professor Dancey provide the latest guidance on causes, diagnosis and treatment, including the hugely significant part played by the gut-brain axis and by the micro-organisms within our large intestines.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Giardia
a parasite associated with IBS, gallbladder disease and other health issues
by Susan Koten
Many people are diagnosed with IBS - a catch-all for chronic gut problems for which no cause can be found - but what if a parasite named Giardia lamblia were the cause? Medical herbalist Susan Koten explains in detail in a step-by-step approach how to detect and treat this common but under-recognised parasite using natural herbal medicine. Based on many years of helping tackle digestive disorders, she explains the signs, symptoms and treatments for both lay persons and professional naturopathic therapists. Understanding what Giardia is – and its connection with the malaria parasite – is key to overcoming it. Throughout she includes case studies to explain and illustrate her approach. Anyone with unexplained digestive problems should investigate this.
