Gut comfort

Bloating, constipation, diarrhoea or stomach pain? Are you tired of guessing what is upsetting your digestion?

You cut out certain foods, try probiotics and search for yet another piece of guaranteed advice. But what helps one person can make things even worse for another. How do you make sense of the flood of recommendations?

In his book Gut Peace, Dr Ulrich Selz debunks 20 widespread myths about digestion, the microbiome and nutrition. He explains clearly why probiotics do not help everyone, when fibre can make problems worse, and why detox cleanses and drastic diets are not a miracle cure.

Using patient stories, he shows what might lie behind the most common digestive issues, which tests actually make sense, and when it is time to seek medical help. He combines expert knowledge with humour and practical recommendations to help you better understand your own body and navigate your treatment options. Because the path to a peaceful gut begins with understanding the cause of your problems.
