"I was, as they say, blissfully ignorant about my intestinal health until my life was rocked by a serious bout of food poisoning when I was interviewing for graduate school admission—and yes, I mean I was in a graduate school interview when it hit. (It definitely was not pretty, but in hindsight, it is a funny story.) Suffice to say I was not accepted to that graduate program!

After recovering, I vowed I would never go through that experience again, and I began learning about food borne pathogens and food safety. A few years later, I had the opportunity to share my knowledge and passion about food borne pathogens when I taught classes in food safety and sanitation.

Fast forward to when I learned about Ann Louise Gittleman’s book, 'The Gut Flush Plan.' I’d been a fan of Dr. Ann Louise for years, and had had my life transformed by 'The Fat Flush Plan.' Now I was thrilled that she was turning her vast knowledge and expertise to one of my passions, digestive health.

With her conversational style of sharing information, Dr. Ann Louise transforms a wide body of knowledge into easily digested bites (pun intended) designed for people at all levels of knowledge and awareness. But far from limiting her book to food borne pathogens and their prevention, Dr. Ann Louise incorporates information on creating total intestinal health by including information on the ways we can protect ourselves from a variety of gut problems. And possibly more important, she gives us tools for healing already compromised systems from the cellular level up.

In this book Dr. Ann Louise gives us techniques to help our bodies better absorb nutrients from the foods we eat, eliminate toxins, and even repair our immune systems. (Did you know that the majority of your immunity resides in your colon? Estimates range from 60-80%!)

I knew my colon was precious—the root of my health actually—but after reading'The Gut Flush Plan' I have an even heightened respect and awareness for the functions it performs and the challenges it faces. So, I’ve adopted the basic Gut Flush protocol as part of my daily life, and I’ve added additional protocols according to my particular gut situation. In just a couple of short weeks, I’m seeing results like better digestion, less gas and bloating, clearer skin, and increased energy.  

And I expect that things will only get better from here since, I am, after all, rebuilding my digestive system from the cellular level up. Dr. Ann Louise has done it again—given me knowledge, tools and techniques to transform my life. This book could help you transform your life too.

Thanks, Dr. Ann Louise!"
