40 million Americans (1 in 5) suffer from chronic cramping, bloating, diarrhea, and gas. If you or someone you love is plagued by chronic digestive distress, you know what it's like to be held captive by your gut or spend thousands of dollars on prescriptions that brought only temporary relief.In "Trust Your Gut," internist Dr. Gregory Plotnikoff and clinical psychologist Dr. Mark Weisberg show how to listen to your gut and to interpret symptoms as important messages that can help correct imbalances. Rather than advocating drugs to mask the symptoms and underlying problems, Plotnikoff and Weisberg offer a program to assess how diet, sleep, and stress are affecting your life and health.Readers learn how to:
Identify their specific form of gastrointestinal distress and understand the meaning behind it.Restore good communication between brain and gut.Reduce or prevent hypersensitivity in the gut.Reduce pain and promote healthy digestion.Plotnikoff and Weisberg offer a self-help program that provides anyone with chronic gut distress the tools to break the vicious cycle of symptoms, fear, and pain.
