Gut book

[jimb0123]

Hi All,

On the whole I feel much better these days, however on the off chance I ever get *that* ill again I still keep an interest in gut related stuff as I'm always slightly paranoid I'll have a relapse.

I'm just getting to the last few chapters of a brilliant book called Gut. It's written really simply but is super informative:

amazon.co.uk/Gut-Giulia-End...

Just thought I'd share.

Cheers,

I read it after recommendations somewhere else on the forum and it is indeed one of the best books I have ever read. It really clarified for me why my health had been poor all my life (antibiotics several times a year for various heart and asthma related complications and precautions). Best bit is about raising legs up when on the loo. Big yes from me!

Hi

How did you overcome your IBS?

Hi Graham,

I think most of it's covered in this post; healthunlocked.com/theibsne...

In short I had infection related IBS and specifically SIBO:

FODMAP diet

Plenty of green salad

Long term use of mebeverine

Destress strategies

Exercise

No alcohol /caffeine/dairy

Time

----

I actually did all the above and stabilsed but then had to take Antibiotics to finally get rid of the SIBO.

---

I still get relapses but repeating the above except antibiotics gets me back on straight and narrow.
