Does your stomach find life a bit unsettling?

Ignoring painful indigestion or taking antacid tablets for relief is not the best way to treat your digestive system – in fact, you may be storing up long-term health problems for yourself, such as stomach ulcers, if you don't take action now.

Amanda Ursell explains how your digestive system works and why you might be suffering from stomach pain, heartburn, bloating, nausea or any other complaints caused by eating the wrong foods. With simple recipes and food lists she helps you find those foods which suit your system – and eliminate those which don't. She also explains how your lifestyle – and your stress levels – may be giving your stomach good reason for complaint.

Includes:
· dietary advice on individual complaints
· stress – how tension triggers the production of acid
· your weight – how it affects your digestive system
· candida albicans – is yeast your problem?
· orthodox treatments and their effects
· herbal remedies and how they work
