Customer Reviews

Layman's bible and more
I cannot tell you enough how good this book is - after ploughing through trees of print, here is one that just gets to the point and is interesting as well. It is also set out so that you do not have to read the first half to understand one page near the end.

Very readable, even just for information. People without problems should find the details in this text interesting and good guidance.

Great book!
This is an excellent book for people who are interested in digestive disorders. It offers practical advice in how to cure them in simple non-technical language. A great book for student nutritionists such as myself.
