Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ (Revised Edition)

Informative, interesting (even fun) to read as the author has a marvelous sense of humor. I was prepared to slog my way through learning about our “gut”, but I enjoyed this book and learned many things along the way. Differently recommend.

I love the writing. It's funny and informative about the microbiome. I bought it for myself and loved it, so I'm offering it to my friends. It makes them think differently about the power of their gut.

This book is filled with info about the gut and how it works. The science is super interesting, but I was hoping for a bit more practical gut health practices and definitive advice on what's best for our gut health. The only change I ended up making after reading this book was using a box to raise my feet up while doing a number 2. I think it has helped but I was hoping for more.

I enjoyed this book, it was easy to read , lots of information on the subject , funny and interesting.

Great gut book. Very informative.

It was easy to understand, especially for a medical book, and I loved the illustrations. Usually, medical book illustrations are somewhat on the Yucky side especially when dealing with intestines, gut flora, and the by-products of digestion that end up in the toilet. Nothing like that here. The illustrations get the job done while being pleasant to look at, and not cutesy or patronizing either.

I gave only 3 stars because the info, if true, is very interesting. But the reason I wonder how much to believe is that I was born in Spain decades ago, raised there, and in all my time there I only saw 1 squat toilet. In a very old house. 1. The books mentions this as if it is common in Spain and France to have those type of toilets. Then it mentions the dangerous pathogens in India and Spain, as if they are about the same. Which makes me wonder, has this person ever been to Spain at all? Or what sources have been used for this comments? And of course, on what I know being so wrong, I wonder, how wrong is this book on the info I do not know about? Sounds interesting, but it could all be wrong anyway.

I learned alot from this book. I even was able to improve my own gut microbiome from my learning. So many of my family member's have read this book too. Lots of good information in the book.
