Natural Solutions for Digestive Health

This book was amazing. I have been suffering from stomach and intestinal issues for years. I followed this book to the letter and years of issues solved in 30 days. OMG. I love this book. This book explains everything very simple and it list most of the digestive issues that might trouble anyone. I was able to understand everything and it explains a lot of things that might affect your stomach. It is very informative. Even if you think this might not help just read it, the information provided is important. I have been recommending this book to everyone. RECOMMENDED.

I was having some sort of "mystery" intestinal issue that my health care provider could not correctly diagnose. A battery of tests including a contrast CT scan ruled out all of the typical answers. All they could tell me was that my colon was swollen (not diverticulitis or IBD); I could not tolerate regular food so I put myself on an alternating liquid/soft diet and eliminated food allergens (I have a degree in Dietetics) for eight weeks. With minimal change in my colon, I began to look for other solutions and I wanted them to be "natural", not medical or invasive.I ordered the book because I heard an online interview with her and she sounded knowledgeable and genuine. I also liked the fact that she is a practicing doctor who embraces natural solutions and has patients who have seen healing under her care.I wasn't disappointed. After following her prescribed dietary changes and adding in her beneficial suggestions, I saw my colon begin to heal itself. I believe God designed our bodies to heal themselves in many situations and He created real food to serve as the "medicine".I would estimate that I'm 80% better after just a few weeks and I anticipate a full return to normal in a few more. Most importantly, I learned many things from Dr.Teta that I will implement permanently into my diet to maintain healthy digestion for the rest of my life.

I have had severe GI problems for many years, including chronic constipation, digestive problems, extreme boating, cramps, and some loss of GI motility. I was fatigued, tired and miserable. I had major Thoracic surgery on my stomach and esophagus two years ago which solved some problems but exacerbated others. I purchased the book and stared on the 30 day Gut Restoration program on March 1 and have been on it for 16 days. I felt improvement after three days, and every day since then. The GI tract pains are diminished, digestion and motility are greatly improved, bloating is gone, and my energy levels are high. An unexpected good side effect is I lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks. It's the first time in months I can say I feel relived and great. I high recommend anyone with GI or related health issues to buy this book.

As an aspiring fitness + nutrition coach, I try to get my hands on as many different reading materials I can to help gain a better baseline understanding of different health-related concepts. I'm a big fan of the folks at Metabolic Effect so for me it was a no-brainer to pick up Jillian's book when it came out. More and more literature is popping up about the importance of gut health so this book was going to be my starting point, or reference, on the topic. It. Did. Not. Disappoint. This book is AWESOME. After reading I now know more about my gut than I ever imagined (maybe a little too much about certain aspects, heh). The authors do such an excellent job of explaining each of the topics. They are very thorough and make this an easy, enjoyable read. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone wanting to expand their knowledge on the topic. Whether you use this as a professional resource or you just want to learn more about how to have a healthier gut (gut rebuilding program included) - this is a must have!

My wife followed the plan in this book, and she was able to stop taking her heartburn medication. She'd been taking a double dose for seven years. The way this book restored her digestive health seemed miraculous.There are many steps in the book. We don't know exactly which one or combination cured her, but she feels great. The best thing about this book is that it's not a long-term lifestyle change. You go through the plan with the goal of eating like a normal person again.I had my doubts about this natural remedy, but it really did work.

This book is incredibly helpful! Everyone should read this because most people take their digestive system for granted, as well as all the "minor" inconveniences it is plagued by. Let me assure you, thanks to this book I have no more acid reflux, none. After nearly 3 years of difficulty sleeping because of acid reflux, I am finally an uninterrupted nights sleep. Also, I have no gas, no bloating, no burping as long as I pay attention and only deviate minimally from all the tips found in this book.

Great book - lots of explanation about our digestive system and what is needed for it to work well. I am about to embark on the gut restoration programme as I have a cough that seems to be caused by reflux and this is the most comprehensive natural repair programme I have seen so far. Lots of good advice generally and covers many different digestive problems. It made me aware of digestive health for the first time.

I have been diagnosed with Barretts Oesphagus and was prescribed meds for life! On delving a little further it became apparent that the long term effects were not good for my liver and my bones. This book is worth its weight to me on gold, I have done the restoration diet (and feel absolutely vibrant) and I now take slippery elm twice a day and NO MEDS! My sister has arthritis so I told her to take turmeric (as suggested in the gem of a book) two weeks later her pain has lessened and inflammation improved!If I lost this book I would buy another straight away as a reference for life and would even buy it as a gift for anyone I know who is suffering ill health to treat it in a more natural way.

The book was not in as good condition as I expected - was rather old and worn looking. However the book itself was excellent.

I love this book so much that I took it to bed last night (I usually only read fiction in bed), it is fascinating and so helpful for me and most of the people I know. Jillian Teta is the best in her field. I have had the honour of spending a weekend at the Metabollic Effect weekend where Jillian talked a lot of sense about our digestive system, I learnt so much.

A very informative book, a must read for anybody who has a digestive problem or just wants to find out a bit more about digestive concerns. The recipes and menus are also interesting and make a change from the norm!Definitely puts a skew on what we eat and how our digestive system works
