Wow, what an incredible resource!! Dr. Salt & Ms. Weber do an incredible job of thoroughly explaining gut issues relating to IBS. Instead of slapping on the general "IBS" diagnosis, he goes into depth about how IBS is generally combined with other issues (Pick Six). The mind-gut connection is so complex and nuanced and he really covers every aspect. The number of resources and tests he recommends to obtain an accurate diagnosis are so advanced and a MUST for anyone who has been to numerous specialists without success. He leaves no stone left unturned in getting to the source of the problem. He even explains prescriptions and supplements that can help. I loved his list of general recommendations for healthy living for the general public, as well as what he actually does everyday to maintain his overall health. It's truly an eye opening and incredible book that should be read by all GI doctors, GP's, and patients with gut issues.
