Shirley Trickett
The digestive system is an often misunderstood and overlooked part of the body. Embarrassment often makes matters worse when trying to deal with digestive disorders. Half the people who consult gastroenterologists with bowel problems are diagnosed as having Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS).
People suffering from chronic diarrhoea or alternatively chronic constipation, abdominal pains, headaches, backache or colic may be diagnosed as having IBS. Shirley Trickett offers a straightforward approach to dealing with the digestive system and explains the range of IBS symptoms and what causes them. She also looks at the effects of associated conditions such as candida, ME, food intolerance, and the effects of prescribed drugs on the digestive system, low blood sugar on problems with the nervous system. High fibre diets and drugs are often seen as the instant cure for digestive problems, but Shirley Trickett feels that this conventional treatment compounds the problem. This essential guide details self-help therapies which focus on listening to the body. She concentrates on cleaning and healing the digestive system with natural methods, and warns of the dangers of drastic exclusion diets for those who have food intolerances.
