Welcome to Litsy!

I think this is one of the most important books I have read in a long time. If you have any background in healthcare, the first 75 pages are a review. If you have inflammatory bowel diseases-IBS, crohn‘s or UC, this book is another weapon in the arsenal of management. Which probiotic strains do you need for your specific situation? What brand? Can probiotics make you sick? Would give it a longer review if I could. 9/10

Very informative, insightful and inspires me to clean up our diet

Like other readers I was majorly disappointed by this title. I think one of the problems was too wide an audience. The writing is all over the place, sometimes too scientific and then comically casual. The research may be up-to-date but it‘s nearly impossible to read as a cohesive book. Perhaps it‘s more usual as a reference guide. #gutbacteria

Not a scientific discussion of new research as I had been led to believe by a NatGeo book list, but a self-help book. Apparently "leaky gut" causes most ills, everything you eat and do cause anxiety and depression (neither of which is clinically defined, nor apparently actually understood by the authors), and yogurt and a Mediterranean diet (they say it's meatless) cure anxiety and depression. Bad science, bad logic, and a waste of reading time.

That's sort of the definition of meat...
