Gastroenterology Books

Book SynopsisBestselling author of the Wheat Belly franchise brings his next big, game changing idea - the human microbiome and the silent epidemic of SIBO - to the mainstream.Dr Davis has connected the dots between ''gut health'' and many common, modern ailments and complaints. 1 in 3 people have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), which causes a long list of health issues and illnesses; it is a silent and profound epidemic created by the absence of microbial species that our ancestors had even 50-100 years ago, which have been erased by the industrialisation of food and medicine. Super Gut shares a four-week plan to reprogram your microbiome based on research and techniques that not only gets to the root of many diseases but improves levels of oxytocin (the bonding/happy hormone), brain health and promotes anti-aging and weight loss. Dr Davis provides not just the science and case studies but also more than 40 recipes and solutions. In Super GuTrade ReviewSuper Gut reveals how virtually every aspect of our health is fundamentally influenced by the vast array of microscopic organisms living upon and within us. Dr Davis makes it clear that so many issues related to living in our modern world challenge this relationship and set the stage for illness. But the good news, as Super Gut so eloquently portrays, centres on our new found ability to improve the health and functionality of the vast array of microbes upon which we depend. It's clear that we can manipulate this relationship to our advantage. And Dr Davis shows us how. -- David Perlmutter, MD, author, #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain, and Drop AcidReading Super Gut is reading an incredibly important manual on building the super 'hard drive' for a long, healthy, and productive life.... With easy to implement, inexpensive recommendations, it won't be long before you're forever grateful you took the time to read and implement.... All disease begins in the gut. So build a Super Gut! -- Dr Tom O’Bryan, author of The Autoimmune Fix and You Can Fix Your BrainSuper Gut brings the conversation into new territory. Bacteria are not the bad guys! Dr Davis' plan helps you replenish the microbiome and eliminate those culprits that are depleting us of essential natural probiotics that maintain a healthy gut. Microbiome medicine is an essential part of good health, disease prevention, vitality, and longevity. Bravo to Dr Davis on this newest addition to the literature. -- Dr Raphael Kellman, founder of Microbiome Medicine, author of The Microbiome Diet, The Microbiome Breakthrough, Microbiome ThyroidUnlike other books on the microbiome, Dr Davis has taken the conversation several steps further by showing how lost microbes can be restored and how an epidemic of overgrowth of undesirable species can be pushed back with often spectacular results. He packs the book with specific strategies and recipes so that the reader is well-equipped to regain health, vigour, even youthfulness. -- Dr Mark Hyman, New York Times bestselling author of The Pegan DietAn intriguing look into the science of the gut microbiome, and its implications for human health. Dr Davis brings his usual light to this area of science and follows that up with some practical advice. -- Dr Jason Fung, New York Times bestselling author of The Obesity Code

Book Synopsis'A major step in patient education and participation in the management of diverticulitis' - Professor Frank A. FrizelleDiverticular disease (DD) is a digestive disorder caused by enflamed diverticula, or pouches, in the colon. A common cause is constipation due to lack of fibre in the diet. Diverticulitis is very common, with about 60,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the UK and 300,000 in the USA. Symptoms are usually persistent abdominal pain plus disturbed bowel function (constipation or diarrhoea or alternating between the two). Diverticulitis sometimes becomes very severe leading to perforation of the bowel, forming an abscess or rarely peritonitis. This best-selling book looks at the treatment and self-management of DD - while the doctor can help, particularly with antibiotics, much can be done by the individual to minimise the effects of this condition.Topics include:The medical treatment of diverticular disease Probiotics ('good' or 'friendly' live bacteria and yeasts said to be good for digestive healthThe increase of diverticular disease in the populationEffects of diverticular disease

Dr Mark HymanEat your way to a faster metabolism, easier weight loss and better health - from New York Times bestselling author and health pioneer Ann Louise Gittleman.One reason many diets fail is that they don't correct the shutdown of key fat-burning tissues in the body: brown fat, muscle and the microbiome.

The 21-Day Radical Reboot will teach you how to reawaken and retrain your metabolism to build a lasting and lean body. The third section expands the menu with a collection of 49 recipes (anglicised for UK readers) and provides a maintenance plan and additional guidance for staying on track for life.An easy-to-follow programme with the nutritional and scientific research to back it up, this book offers simple strategies that produce radical results.REAP THE BENEFITS OF A RADICAL METABOLISM: - Lasting weight loss - Greater energy - Balanced mood - Healthier skin - Protection against health problems, such as type II diabetes and gallbladder issues

Book SynopsisA holistic approach for healing trauma stored in the gut. A healthy gut is fundamental to a healthy life. Embedded within our digestive ­system is the enteric nervous system, our “second brain,” which serves to protect us from the external world of adversity, including not only viruses and bacteria, but also traumatic events. As Nikki Kenward, CST-D, MCSS, explains, past challenges and traumas, whether emotional or physical, are held in the enteric nervous system in many ways, including fascial tension, cellular changes, and unhelpful “default settings.” Exploring in depth what she calls “the Post-Traumatic Gut,” Kenward describes the anatomy and physiology of the enteric nervous system, including the polyvagal system, and the many ways that our emotional history and current emotional state can impact our digestive system. Sharing recent research, she describes the science behind the emotional gut and how to apply it to chronic digestive issues like IBS and Crohn’s disease as well as mental health issues such as anorexia, bulimia, anxiety, and depression. She explains how and why the digestive gut absorbs emotions and what you can do to heal its functions by addressing psychosomatic stressors, rather than just nutrition. Presenting case studies from her 25 years in clinical practice as well as her own healing journey, she reveals the synchronicity between digestive/metabolic functions and psychological/perceptual insight and how allowing the cells to “speak” through bodywork such as CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release Therapy can help renew the microbiome of the second brain, release intergenerational trauma and illness, and restore one’s psychospiritual life. Sharing visualization exercises and a hands-on process of listening to the gut layer by layer, the author helps readers unwind stagnant cellular patterns, discover the dynamic intelligence in every cell, and transform Post-Traumatic Gut into Post-Traumatic growth.Trade Review“In recent years, our awareness of the importance of the gut—its structures and the mysteries it contains—has been raised by the arrival of numerous texts on the subject. Most are really useful for reference purposes and for a greater sense of the map and features of the territory within us. Knowledge is useful, but to accelerate our understanding of these mysteries, it is important to have a resource that takes us into the reality rather than simply the theory. Nikki’s personal story takes us into that lived reality. It helps to bring the anatomy of the gut to life and, more importantly, to gain some understanding of its relationship to our deepest levels of health and well-being. There are also valuable insights into the potentially long-lasting effects of PTSD and its link to the function of our gut. This book provokes questions and encourages us to look further into this dynamic and fast-evolving area of research and study.” * Margaret Anne Gill, MBA, CST-D, MCSS, coauthor of The Inner Power of Stillness *“Overcoming Chronic Digestive Conditions is a brilliant read. It’s engaging, insightful, educational, and accessible. I would highly recommend it to anyone grappling with their own gut challenges or working in a therapeutic capacity treating those with gut-related health issues. Nikki brings to life through her own experiences how gut health problems are linked to our emotional and physical health, both now and earlier in our lives. The book helps us understand the vicious cycle of cause and effect: how challenges in our emotional and physical health have a knock-on effect on our gut health and how, in turn, the resultant gut challenges further negatively impact us emotionally and physically. I found the practical guidance and strategies immensely powerful as well as the new scientific research. And for those providing hands-on therapy, it will expand their capacity to treat patients, not just with gut disorders but also those with PTSD and neurodegenerative illness, such as Alzheimer’s and Dementia. This book never promises to deliver the silver bullet but instead offers a new lens through which to view this complex and fascinating subject.” * Linda Marsh, International Coaching Federation accredited and director at Gravitas MM, Ltd. *“This book arose out of Nikki’s personal journey toward recovery from PTSD following a diving accident. Along the way, her journey took her into an exploration of her own ‘gut feeling.’ Her personal journey has become a professional focus. Nikki is using her gathered knowledge to help her own patients as well as educate colleagues and students of many hands-on treatment modalities about this rapidly changing and exciting new area of medical science—the gut/ brain connection.” * Fiona Gilbraith, CST-D, qualified member of the CranioSacral Society *Table of ContentsForeword by Eric Moya, RMT, CST-D, MS/Mfct Acknowledgments Preface About Upledger CranioSacral Therapy 1 Why Are We Here? 2 Our Life in Our Body 3 Searching for Stories in the Second Brain 4 Finding Compassion for Your Gut’s History 5 Container for Shame 6 SomatoEmotional Release and Safety 7 The Black Hole 8 Still Frozen?

Book SynopsisRumination syndrome (RS) is a condition characterized by repeated, effortless regurgitation of material (usually food). RS is classified as both a disorder of gut-brain interaction, and as a feeding and eating disorder. Not only can the experience of RS be distressing, it can severely impact a patient''s medical functioning and ability to live a full life. RS is unfortunately an overlooked (and thus under-treated) condition, as individuals with RS may often describe their symptoms as reflux or vomiting. RS can also co-occur with other gastrointestinal and eating disorders, further complicating the clinical picture. The good news is that RS can be successfully treated. This book offers a comprehensive treatment approach for RS, for use with children, adolescents, and adults. With evidence backing its use, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for RS (CBT-RS), is designed for clinicians (behavioral health or medical) to use with patients in their own clinical settings. With case examples and a practical stepwise approach, clinicians are able to take CBT-RS into their own clinical settings to increase treatment access for RS.

The book ends with a chapter of 50 questions, which again matches the proportions of topic areas found in the ESEGH, and is designed to act as a mock-examination for use in the final stages of preparation.Table of Contents1: Gastrointestinal haemorrhage 2: Oesophageal disorders 3: Stomach and duodenal disorders 4: Biliary disorders 5: Pancreatic disorders 6: Small intestinal disorders 7: Inflammatory bowel disease and colonic disorders 8: Liver disorders 9: Nutrition 10: Miscellaneous 11: Mock examination
