Good Food for Bad Stomachs [The Healthy Eating Guide for Anyone Who's Ever had an Upset Stomach]. by Janowitz, Henry D - 1997

New York: Oxford University Press, 1997. 1st ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket). 224 pp. An American medical academic adopts healthy skepticism towards popular dietary advice, and suggests a sensible diet for sufferers of gastrointestinal complaints, and for others wishing to avoid such troublesome disorders. He asks two central questions which shape the spirit of the book: Is there an "ideal" diet, and is there a consensus on what it might contain? And most important to his patients, what do we know about the role of our eating habits in preventing, causing, and treating the many disorders which plague our gastrointestinal tract and its associated digestive glands - the liver, gall bladder and pancreas? We are what we eat, and the good news is that we can prevent many of our modern diseases by adhering to simple guidelines that are built on solid evidence and the insights of a master clinician.
