Gastrointestinal Health or More from the Gluten Free Gourmet

Gastrointestinal Health: The Proven Nutritional Program to Prevent, Cure, or Alleviate Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Ulcers, Gas, Constipation, Heartburn, and Many Other Digestive Disorders

Author: Steven R Peikin

Do you suffer from heartburn? Is an ulcer bothering you? Are the difficult symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome compromising your life? If so, you are not alone. You are that one out of every three Americans that suffers from chronic digestive problems.

Whether it's constipation, diarrhea, gas, hemorrhoids, ulcers, heartburn, colitis, gallstones, or one of the many other digestive tract problems, Dr. Steven Peikin's self-help nutritional program will help keep you out of the doctor's office—and feeling great.

Based on the latest research and his own clinical experience, Dr. Peikin prescribes a healthy diet high in fiber and low in fat, spices, lactose, and caffeine. He provides a detailed list of "flag foods" to avoid in the case of specific problems; shows you how to use exercise, over-the-counter drugs, prescription drugs, and stress management to complement the program; and offers advice for coordinating the program with weight loss (or weight gain), working with medical professionals, and measuring progress.

"Highly recommended for its thorough coverage, sound advice, and healthy suggestions,"* Gastrointestinal Health—now revised and updated with the latest information on new drugs and research—is everything you need to know to find fast relief from a wide range of gastrointestinal difficulties.

More from the Gluten-Free Gourmet: Delicious Dining Without Wheat

Author: Bette Hagman

Bette Hagman's first book, The Gluten-free Gourmet, brought good-tasting food back into the lives of the millions who are intolerant to the gluten in wheat, oats, barley, or rye, or who are allergic to wheat. Responding to a flood of requests for "more, more, more," she offers more than 265 additional gluten-free recipes for tasty meals. Now with a gourmet look, this book is as irresistible as ever for gluten-intolerant chefs and their families.

Library Journal

Hagman's excellent first cookbook, The Gluten-Free Gourmet ( LJ 6/15/90), is filled with recipes created to let those allergic to wheat enjoy heretofore forbidden foods; now she's back with 300 more. Half of these are for the breads, desserts, and other baked goods usually denied to her readers, with more than three dozen bread recipes (most designed for the time-saving bread machine). The remainder are for appetizers, soups, side dishes, and entrees, again with the emphasis on foods usually off limits, such as crackers, pasta, tempura, quiche--even taco salad. There is a good introductory section, along with several useful appendixes. Recommended for all special diet collections.
