This is for people with lots of time on their hands who have serious gut problems. There were a couple recipes I would try, but nothing really jumped out at me for being awesome. 2 stars.

This is a very interesting concept book.
This book is not just a cooking book for health-conscious people.

In early Buddhism, we learn about the relationship between the gut and emotions.
This book is a scientific explanation of exactly what it's about.

Recently, there has been a lot of interest in the "gut diet," that keeps the gut healthy.
This book introduces how a healthy gut is the secret to living a happy life.

Introduction
We’ve all heard phrases referencing the relationship between your innards and your emotions, such as “gut feeling.”
Recently, medical professionals have begun to explore the connection between your gut and your health.

I thought this 150 stage-by-stage recipe programme to heal your stomach, particularly focusing on Leaking Gut Syndrome, was well-written, clear and well laid-out. I picked this up on a bit of whim, from my local library, as I suspect I have an undiagnosed autoimmune condition, which I have been investigating treating with an anti-inflammatory diet. I don't have any immediate plans to start such a rigid programme as this, however it was interesting to see ideas I have already implemented supported here and to discover some new ideas to try out as well.

Looks like it would be a good program to follow if you were trying to repair your gut. It starts with very basic soups and works foods back into your diet in different stages (each stage lasting 5-7 days). I was just looking for healthy, simple, wholesome recipes and this book does deliver. They are basic and simple recipes, but the ones I tried were tasty.

The beginning of this book is very good. It plainly lays out the facts about gut health and how to maintain it. The way it’s presented is very accessible.

The recipes in this book are super great but many of them require a lot of time to prepare. I found the recipe portion to be haphazardly organized but the photographs were good and the instructions seemed thorough.

I would recommend to someone looking to seriously figure out their gut health, included different levels with recipes to help readers figure out the foods that don't work for them.
