Good Gut Healing
Good Gut Healing covers many of the common - but rarely addressed - ailments that can affect everybody's digestive system and bowel, and suggests hundreds of natural and simple ways to tackle the symptoms and ease discomfort. Conditions covered include acid reflux, bloating, candidiasis, constipation, diverticulitis, food allergies, gallstones, haemorrhoids, hiatus hernia, irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut syndrome and ulcers.
This highly regarded no-nonsense guide to bowel and digestive disorders is also a thoroughly enjoyable read. The style is easy, upfront and friendly, and contains a healthy dose of humour.
. . . Even though many people remain as reluctant as ever to examine or discuss their waste products, such observations can be a useful guide to inner and outer health. It's well-known that having the courage to examine your own stools could, seriously, save your life, so it's important to pay attention. If you don't know what colour it is, have no idea of its shape or size, whether it floats or sinks or if it flushes away first time, you’re not concentrating. There's no need to poke it about but do please check the paper or the pan at least once a week. The designer detail of your waste products can give you a valuable guide to your general health.
. . . Around the globe, attitudes differ. Many European lavatories are designed with a collecting platform – a kind of 'continental shelf' - installed so that you can see what you've done. Many more are contrived to be used in the entirely natural squat position so that you can actually see what you're doing while you're doing it.
. . . The Brits, perhaps to their detriment, have a long history of unwillingness to even think about that most normal of all activities. It was different in Roman times. Lavatories were communal: rows of bum-shaped holes where folks farted in unison and discuss the day’s events with ne’er a hint of embarrassment . . .

'Huge knowledge, plain speaking, great flashes of funniness and, as is always the case in all Kathryn's writing, great humanity. A book that offers a truly refreshing approach to getting well.'
Barbara Griggs, author of The Green Pharmacy and the Sun newspaper's alternative health columnist.

The guidelines suggested in Good Gut Healing are not intended to be prescriptive, nor are they an attempt to diagnose or treat any specific condition. Kathryn ALWAYS recommends that if you have any concerns of any kind about your health, your first port of call should be your general practitioner. The information that she includes in all her books has been accumulated from published journals, meetings and discussions with a number of different practitioners, medical and surgical consultants and international experts, and from her own personal research and experience in practice. Kathryn is unable to comment on specific case histories or reply individually to correspondence. However she is always delighted to hear from readers and does read every letter.
