Intestinal Health

Intestinal Health is a breakthrough book designed for people affected by digestive issues from diverticulitis to leaky gut, from GERD to chronic gas, constipation, and other ailments. It will improve the life of anyone who wants to maximize their digestion, increase good bacteria, decrease symptoms of discomfort, and heighten cellular oxygen levels resulting in complete abdominal comfort.
Following Mardell Hill's simple formula, anyone can reduce their digestive disorder or pain symptoms by identifying their unique path to self-recovery. While some may seek medical care, others may try an alternative route; still others try to self-medicate, and yet many still suffer even after various treatments. Today people want effective, safe, and natural solutions for digestive health and care. Here, then, is a practical, easy-to-use guide that walks readers through the various issues they may confront, how to prevent them, and how to get relief should symptoms crop up.
Hill responds to some of the most commonly asked questions about preventing, or stopping, abdominal pain and discomfort. In clear and simple language, she helps readers better understand how digestion works, from top to bottom, and explores the many different difficulties that can arise along this path. Offering sound and proven advice, she helps readers feel better and live better.
