His end conclusion is that we are better off eating the Mediterranean diet with lots of carotenoids, flavonoids, resistant starches, and fibres, and having intermittent hunger periods to promote the population of Akkermansia species in our guts. When you swallow food, the esophagus detects it as it touches its wall and the muscles begin to contract, pushing the food farther down. It contains millions of neurons and is home to the microbiome, an army of tiny organisms that influence your mood, your immune system, and even your appetite.

They argued that most ulcers were the result of infection by a previously unknown bacterium that they had identified and named Helicobacter pylori. At times the anecdotal evidence is overwhelming, but in a field yet so devoid of exploration, it's largely all we have and I find this book informed and reasoned as opposed to the quackery a lot of books in this genre can be.

Michael Mosely, famous for the 5:2 diet, provides background information on much that happens in the gut, and how we can improve gut health. I ended up sending out thousands of fact sheets, describing the science and Barry’s antibiotics protocol.

We mainly use Royal Mail Tracked 48 Service for goods which weight less then 2kg, all other goods will be delivered by a Courier. To keep Alexis close, Beaumont employed him as his handyman and embarked on a series of investigations that went on for nearly ten years.

This is not a conventional diet, in the sense of a weight loss diet, though you may well lose weight when you are doing it.In this groundbreaking book, Dr Mosley takes us on a revelatory journey through the gut, showing how junk food and overuse of antibiotics have wiped out many “good” gut bacteria, leading to a modern plague of allergies, food intolerances and obesity. I have been fortunate that my gut has always bounced back, though the fact that I eat a gut friendly diet must also have helped.

Mosley has written an interesting and informative book on the various gut flora and how to bring your body into a balance that allows you to profit from the food you eat.
