5.0 out of 5 stars After trying everything...this is the ONLY program that actually works!
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2014

I got this book a year ago after suffering from ulcerative colitis for 5 years. I had initially controlled my condition with his Makers Diet program, but had a terrible flare up that I could not get under control. I was down to 90 pounds at 5'9". After I got out of the hospital I did what my doctor said and took the prescription meds. I also followed the book exactly and was initially discouraged because I could not seem to get past phase 1 without problems. I was taking Lialda and Uceris daily for several months after the hospital stay. My doctor wanted to put me on more meds because I was still having daily bleeding. I started to realize that the Uceris (a form of steroid) was actually hindering my body from healing, and it was not allowing the Guts and Glory program to work. I decided to cut the uceris and only take every other day. FINALLY my body started to heal and I could move into phase 2 and phase 3 of the program. This program allows your body to actually heal and function properly. Steroids block your immune system and hinder your body from healing. I understand that in an extreme crisis, prescription meds are necessary, but they just do not work over the long term. I have had one flare up since my hospital stay and quickly returned to phase one and my body responded immediately and healed within about 2 weeks. This program is not easy!! It is extremely difficult to stay on it! It can also be very expensive. If you are not extremely disciplined it will not work. But if your condition is like mine and causes you to be sick and bed ridden most of the time, it is worth it. My doctor thinks food has nothing to do with my healing and that the meds are working. I know it is the Guts and Glory program. Thank God I found it and thank God for Jordan Rubin! It changed my life. I can function normally everyday, be with my kids, and live a normal life without meds!!

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2010

I've read close to 10 books on the subject of digestion and this is - hands down - one of the best.

For the most part, I trust the authors. Why? Unlike similar books, Rubin and Brasco don't claim that following their protocols will cure you. They're somewhat humble and admit that what works for one person may not work for another. Their claims are often backed up by research. They don't speak in absolutes. And, they make sense and provide what seems to be rational, well reasoned, and measured advice.

I read this book to help cure an ulcer and gastritis (as well as address unrelated IBD) that not even antibiotics and acid blockers seemed to help. I didn't follow the protocol they suggested, but I did eat nothing but Brasco broth for 11 days and the endoscopy that followed showed that the ulcer had healed and remaining inflammation was mild at worst.

Aside from protocols to address various digestive ailments, this book also provides excellent and specific information on foods, diets, and supplements. I've read it twice and continue to use it as a reference when considering a new food or supplement.

My only gripe is that, in my opinion, they recommend taking too many supplements at once. For someone with inflammation or compromised digestion, taking a gazillion pills of concentrated anything is going to be hard on the system. I think it's best to systematically add supplements to your regimen so you can gauge the impact of each. The problem is...If you take a bunch of different supplements at once and it causes some type of flare, you won't know which supplement caused the problem. You'll have to stop them all then beg for a refund. Conversely, if the protocol helps, you won't know if all the supplements are helping synergistically or whether some are useless to you and a waste of money. So my suggestion is... start on a low dosage of one key supplement and add new ones one-by-one.

Regardless, I believe the information contained in this book can help anyone with digestive problems (if the recommendations are utilized in a Slow, Systematic, and RESPONSIBLE way). I recommend it to anyone who wants alternatives to the not so effective / side effect inducing drugs prescribed for IBD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding your digestive system
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2014

I have been reading a lot about the digestive system and how the gut works since I have had some problems with heartburn and acid reflux. This book has been the best so far in helping me understand how the system works from the time you take a bite of food and the journey it takes in your digestive system.

The author, Jordan Rubin, almost died from his battle with Crohns disease. The book goes through how he tried many diets, doctors, and medications trying to heal himself. He explains a lot about different diets, foods, carbs, enzymes, and other aids that people use trying to help their guts. He explains how he healed himself.

I feel that the book in a valuable tool and reference guide for a person in understanding the importance of having a good digestive system and how it affects the rest of your body. The books gives a lot of guidance in natural therapies for healing allergies, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and on through the alphabet for many of the digestive issues that people have today.

I bought it to try and solve my M.E. digestion problems, and what I tried didnt really work then, i.e. no effect on my M.E. in the shape of a clearer mind or more enrgy. However, a few months later I had some kind of food mixed with several day constipation and fever that I didnt think was bad enough to go to hospital for, I used clay, and simple meals (chicken, boiled veg) as mentioned in the book, and I slowly got better, I don t think I would have improved that quickly without doing anything at all. The good thing was also that for a few days in like, ever, I had a flat stomach! Sadly the meals felt too boring to implement long term for aesthetic purposes, but if you fancy it, the diet directives in there are worth a try.
I am solving part of my M.E. issues (the mind part, that perpetuates the stress that create the digestive disorders) with the amygdala retraining techniques and I will get back to working with this book when my body feels recovered from the stress, as the advice in the book has always felt useful - but not if you don t get rid of the cause of your digestive issues!
