OverviewThis book is written for the millions of people worldwide who suffer from gut problems; from burping and acid reflux to abdominal pain and flatulence through to diarrhoea, bloating and constipation. What happens between eating your food and it coming out the other end can sometimes be a source of daily discomfort and embarrassment.

Whether you bloat after eating pasta or bread, 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.
