i was initially reluctant to pick-up this book, as i have chronic fatigue syndrome and didn't think it was relvant. what grabbed me first about the book was the layout, easy to read with clear headings and sub-headings. suzannah goes through each section clealry and slowly so a complete novice like myself can understand and apply here recommendations. she explains what happens when you get problems in the stomach and bowels and how these can cause many problems. it is a book i dip into with ease, although an index would have helped, to guide me on my road back to health.
