An essential resource to understanding gut health, the microbiome,
and their connection to maintain digestive balance through
diet-featuring meal planning guides and sample menus-by two leading
experts in the field. Over the last fifteen years, research into
the vast inner workings of the "microbiome" (the trillions of
bacteria harbored in the gut) has led to groundbreaking advances in
human health and well-being. Now, two of the leading experts in the
field, Dr. Mark Pimentel and Dr. Ali Rezaie at Cedars-Sinai, have
teamed up to create The Microbiome Connection, a must-have guide
that arms readers with all of the knowledge and resources necessary
to understand their microbiome, any symptoms they may be
experiencing, and how to navigate symptom relief. An estimated 70
million people in the United States are affected by SIBO, IBS, or
one of the more than a dozen other diseases linked to digestive
health, and 74% of Americans say they live with symptoms of
digestive discomfort. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)-the most
common gastrointestinal condition in the United States-affects
millions of people of all ages. Not only do those who suffer from
IBS and its similar, sister diagnosis-small intestinal bacterial
overgrowth (SIBO)-experience symptoms such as abdominal pain,
bloating, and altered bowel habits, they may also avoid
participating in activities, social events, or travel for fear of
having to constantly disappear to the bathroom or the embarrassment
of explaining their discomfort. In The Microbiome Connection,
doctors Pimentel and Rezaie provide explanations of what happens to
IBS/SIBO patients from the first diagnosis to the end of treatment;
reveal what changes can occur in the body in terms of the
underlying physical processes to symptoms that may develop; and
share evidence-based management and treatment of those symptoms
through dietary changes and drug treatment. Also included are meal
plans and sample menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all of
which are accompanied by explanations of which foods to eat in
moderation and which foods to avoid because they will feed bacteria
in the gut and could cause additional symptoms. A must-have
resource for anyone who suffers from IBS or SIBO, or who wants to
better understand their microbiome, this book will provide readers
with the knowledge and resources to live a gut-happy and
gut-healthy life.
