IBS affects 45 million Americans; it's also a tricky disease–hard to diagnose, miserable to live with. With the advent of the low FODMAP diet, nutrition is one of the primary treatments--but most folks don't know how to connect the dots between our brain and our gut health. Enter world‑renowned digestive health specialist and registered dietitian Kate Scarlata, and prominent GI psychologist Dr. Megan Riehl; their new book provides a comprehensive, holistic approach to IBS. Mind Your Gut shares valuable information on:

• The gut, brain, and food connection

• Easy to implement, symptom-specific interventions
• Nutrition remedies to calm your belly and maximize your gut health
• How to make healthy food choices in a food-fear and weight-obsessed culture
