Summary: Reader Response
Comment: Dear Trent,
I am currently reading your digestive health book. What a fantasic book. It should be required reading for everyone involed in integrative medicine. I thought I would tell you about an interesting lab test we have her in Australia, which maybe you are familiar with. It is by a lab called 'Bioscreen' at the University of Melbourne, Australia. The test is called the 'Faecal Microbial Analysis'. I have attached a sample report and interpretive guide of the results of a young buy with autism for your interest. As you can see it goes into far more detail than labs like great smokies on the gut flora analysis.

Comment: Over twenty top physicians and practitioners in Integrative Medicine discusses digestive health and how to create an optimal customized health plan blending exercise, rest, medications and diet. Dr. Nichols is an internist and nutritionist, Nancy Faas is a writer and editor: the two provide an important survey of herbal therapies, homeopathy, and other alternative methods to mainstream medicine - including complimentary therapies.

Fabulous!, April 23, 2002
Reviewer from Carmel, IN USA This is the best book I have ever read on digestive disorders. It covers every situation imaginable. I consider this a "must read" for anyone with inflammatory bowel disease or bowel disorders associated with autism. It also covers Irritable Bowel, parasites, and other difficult to treat situations. This is a well-written, intelligent, insightful book. I highly recommend it as my new favorite.
*****
For all digestive health concerns - this is it!, December 6, 2001
Reviewer from Little Rock, AR United States This has to be one of the most extensive and enlightening books on digestive health available. It covers all things digestive and is authored by a wide variety of healthcare professionals who represent a healthy balance of traditional and alternative thinking. It is the most informative (and enjoyable) book on digestive health I've purchased - and I've got quite a few. It even provides contact information for most of the authors, should you decide to make personal contact or seek treatment. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!
*****
Digestive problems written by doctors for regular people, July 11, 2001
Reviewer from Fremont, CA United States Of all of the books I have read to try to understand food sensitivities (which is about 15 by now) this one is the best. I have more faith in this one because it is written by doctors. But I could understand most of it. It also lists several doctors who deal with these issues. That was worth the 12 bucks.

Optimal digestion, August 25, 2000
Reviewer from Los Angeles, California I am a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine and picked this book up at a local bookstore on a whim, wondering if there was anything that I could learn from it. To my surprise I read without stopping for about three hours after opening the book. What a delight to find a book so full of great information for the lay person and for a professional at the same time! This book is well laid out with clear diagrams and good advice. Well worth buying.
