First Steps to living with Digestive Problems

Digestive problems can come in many guises, from difficulties in swallowing, through the stomach, to constipation, gas, IBS, and beyond. In this handy introductory guide, doctor and author Simon Atkins explains the issues in layman's language. He covers both what we can do for ourselves, and when we need to call on professional help. As digestive problems become more widespread and more acute—often fuelled by stress, obesity, lack of exercise, and poor health—we all need to know what to do and when. This book covers food intolerance, medical treatments, what to be concerned about, dietary treatments, therapy, and more.
