There are at least 100 million people in the USA and Canada that have recurrent, long-term gastrointestinal symptoms. Food and Digestive Tract Disorders is dedicated to the intelligent reader who wants to understand and fix his or her digestive tract disorder. The book covers a range of problems from milder, but unpleasant symptoms that recur over many years to serious, life-threatening diseases.

Abdominal pain, distension with excess gas, constipation and diarrhea are the four prominent symptoms. Most members of this large group will self-medicate, suffer long-term.  Some will receive the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome along with inappropriate advice and medication with limited efficacy.

Some will emerge from this large symptomatic group with well defined disease. The rest of the symptomatic population will remain by default’ suffers of the “irritable bowel syndrome”, Celiac disease and Ulcerative Colitis are three of the more serious diagnoses that imply a long-term tendency to digestive tract disease. These digestive tract diseases are immune-mediated, with  increased permeability of the digestive tract, and are associated with a long list of whole body, immune-mediated diseases.

We believe these conditions are related in terms of disease causing mechanisms and recommend that all groups of patients follow a similar protocol of diet revision. The main difference is that acute inflammation of the bowel wall in a Crohn’s patient can be dangerous and requires a food holiday sometimes for several weeks. Food is replaced by Alpha ENF with optional additional nutrients.
