In Super Gut， Dr。 William Davis （of Wheat Belly fame） offers an interesting discussion of gut dysbiosis， including small intestinal bacterial overgrowth （SIBO） and small intestinal fungal overgrowth （SIFO）。 He writes in a lively manner that is easy to understand， although I thought the text was needlessly repetitive。 I appreciated all of the peer-reviewed studies he cites， although I think he overstates his case at times。He presents a four-week plan to heal your gut， as well as protocols to elim In Super Gut， Dr。 William Davis （of Wheat Belly fame） offers an interesting discussion of gut dysbiosis， including small intestinal bacterial overgrowth （SIBO） and small intestinal fungal overgrowth （SIFO）。 He writes in a lively manner that is easy to understand， although I thought the text was needlessly repetitive。 I appreciated all of the peer-reviewed studies he cites， although I think he overstates his case at times。He presents a four-week plan to heal your gut， as well as protocols to eliminate SIBO， SIFO， and H。 pylori。 He recommends a low-carb/high-fat （ketogenic） diet， which I don’t think is safe for everyone， so you should probably check with your personal doctor before attempting this program。The book includes over 40 recipes， including yogurts made from specific strains of bacteria chosen for specific health benefits， other ferments， beverages， main dishes， and desserts。 I haven’t had the chance to try any of his yogurts yet， but I am very curious to try them。 I did try the Clove Green Tea， Matcha Strawberry Key Lime Smoothie， Yakisoba Noodles， and One-Minute Strawberry Ice Cream， which were all delicious。 There are no photographs accompanying the recipes （at least not in the ARC I received）， and no nutrition information is provided， which is frustrating if you are trying to track your carbs。 TIP: I use a nutrition tracking app called Cronometer that gives me good estimates of carbohydrates and other nutritional content of my meals and beverages—it makes life much easier！The back matter includes resources， healing protocols， and references。While I’m not sold on all of Dr。 Davis’s recommendations， I do think this book is a valuable contribution to the literature on gut health， and it’s worth checking out if you would like to improve your health。I was provided an ARC through NetGalley that I volunteered to review。 。。。more

This is Nonfiction Health。 I had a love-hate reaction with this one。 The gut biome has been getting more and more attention in recent years。 This book covers the importance of having a good gut biome for overall health。 So for those who are new to this information， then you might find this helpful。 Now there were a few turn offs here。 He spends some time pointing fingers at others and their research and assumptions。 But then he'd also make statements （that sounded an awful lot like assumptions） This is Nonfiction Health。 I had a love-hate reaction with this one。 The gut biome has been getting more and more attention in recent years。 This book covers the importance of having a good gut biome for overall health。 So for those who are new to this information， then you might find this helpful。 Now there were a few turn offs here。 He spends some time pointing fingers at others and their research and assumptions。 But then he'd also make statements （that sounded an awful lot like assumptions） that came across as huge blanket statements because there were no references mentioned。 That was annoying。 The last thing is that the "four-week plan" lacked organization。 Just when he was speaking with passion and urgency， it ended。 I would have liked to have had more of that throughout。 So。。。2 or 3 stars？ I'll go with 2。 。。。more

Ten years ago， the author of Super Gut published Wheat Belly。 The book， which advocated restricting wheat， was a hit！ I even followed its plan for years。 So， I was excited to see he had written a new book。Unfortunately， Super Gut is a disappointment。 The new diet incorporates the Wheat Belly diet but is even more restrictive。 Hard-to-source， expensive foods and supplements are suggested。 I recommend skipping Super Gut and reading Wheat Belly instead。 2 stars。Thanks to Hachette Books and NetGalle Ten years ago， the author of Super Gut published Wheat Belly。 The book， which advocated restricting wheat， was a hit！ I even followed its plan for years。 So， I was excited to see he had written a new book。Unfortunately， Super Gut is a disappointment。 The new diet incorporates the Wheat Belly diet but is even more restrictive。 Hard-to-source， expensive foods and supplements are suggested。 I recommend skipping Super Gut and reading Wheat Belly instead。 2 stars。Thanks to Hachette Books and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

Another good resource from the author of Wheat Belly。 Common-sense advice for those of us who have digestion and gut issues。 Davis incorporates science， fascinating information on how the evolution of food has impacted our health， steps to safely get back to having a healthy gut and a bonus of including recipes。 A few simple takeaways I plan to adopt is to focus on shopping the perimeter of a grocery store and sticking to whole foods， probiotics and organics in order to strengthen my microbiome。 Another good resource from the author of Wheat Belly。 Common-sense advice for those of us who have digestion and gut issues。 Davis incorporates science， fascinating information on how the evolution of food has impacted our health， steps to safely get back to having a healthy gut and a bonus of including recipes。 A few simple takeaways I plan to adopt is to focus on shopping the perimeter of a grocery store and sticking to whole foods， probiotics and organics in order to strengthen my microbiome。 I received a complimentary copy of this book。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 。。。more

This book was just okay。 I had high hopes for it but the 4-week plan was unclear and needed to have a better execution。 Furthermore， living in Canada prevents us from getting a lot of ingredients listed to make your own yogurt， etc。 and it’s an expensive journey。 Worth it？ Possibly。 But I’m not willing to fork out the cash for all the equipment and hard-to-find ingredients。 Not to mention， time consuming。 There are some elements I will incorporate， including the Clove Green Tea， though。 And I do This book was just okay。 I had high hopes for it but the 4-week plan was unclear and needed to have a better execution。 Furthermore， living in Canada prevents us from getting a lot of ingredients listed to make your own yogurt， etc。 and it’s an expensive journey。 Worth it？ Possibly。 But I’m not willing to fork out the cash for all the equipment and hard-to-find ingredients。 Not to mention， time consuming。 There are some elements I will incorporate， including the Clove Green Tea， though。 And I do love the recipe ideas at the end。 I want to thank NetGalley and Hachette for the ARC in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more
