21 Rules For Digestive Health
Are you tired of diets that don’t work and mainstream advice that leaves you feeling worse?
In 21 Rules for Digestive Health, I share my journey of reversing an “incurable” bowel disease—not through medication, but by making smart, informed changes to what I ate. Some rules are common sense, while others go against everything you’ve been taught about health and nutrition. But all are designed to make you think, not just follow.
In this book, you’ll
How many "nutritious" foods are closer to industrial products than real nutrition
Rules that defy conventional wisdom but worked for me
The hidden, often overlooked ingredients that might be disrupting your digestion
Practical, easy-to-implement tips to improve your health without obsessing over rules
This isn’t about strict dieting or rigid programs—it’s about empowering you to make smarter decisions. Backed by personal experience and connected to scientific research, this guide is an eye-opener for anyone seeking better digestive health.
Who should read this book?
Those with chronic digestive issues who feel lost in a sea of conflicting advice
Anyone curious about the hidden truth behind everyday food ingredients
People ready to take their health into their own hands, without the fads
Your health begins with understanding your food. Are you ready to challenge everything you know about what you eat?

I received a copy from Booksprout and I'm willingly leaving a review
This is a personal list; some items, such as sugar, are not included. I like how it was presented, much like a booklet of some sort with many sources for the author’s decisions. He is exactly on point with the food pyramid and how Ancel Keys manipulated his findings; we probably watched the same documentaries. Points for saying "accepted advice was perpetuating my illness"; same goes with diabetes and heart diseases. But lost Brownie points when he wrote "many people continue to stuff their faces (sic) with bakery goods, even when they are overweight". Actually, the common ingredient is sugar, which is the addictive part of all the goods he listed. I am not sure why finding out which vitamins and minerals you are deficient in is perceived as a “considerable challenge”, since a blood test would tell you and it’s free in Canada. There are too many “likely”; if you don’t know, don’t talk about it. Overdose of vitamin C can lead to stomach upset, diarrhea, and rarely, kidney stones.

This is a short, well-organized collection of Kevin Kendall's experiences and recommendations to resolve chronic digestive issues. We don't always need pages of references to support a bias in a self-help book. The author mentions often that he isn't a scientist, but his personal experiences are presented in a chatty, understandable fashion that makes this an enjoyable read. Good job!

I was really wanting to figure out how to narrow down some issues with my digestive tract. These rules definitely give you enough to know where to start and what to look for!
