HEALTHY GUT - HEALTHY BODY
Ann Louise Gittleman is one of nutrition's superstars. It is impossible to read anything she writes and not learn something that will cause you to change your eating habits for the better. Because of one of her books, I added zinc supplements to my vegetarian diet and immediately felt more energetic. Her new book, The Gut Flush Plan, is no exception to her library of important and useful books.

This book provides a 21-Day Gut Flush Plan, with daily menus, easy recipes, nutritional information, and shopping lists. The program is designed to detoxify your body; fortify your digestive system against pathogens; flush your digestive system of toxins, pathogens, and parasites; and feed you nourishing GI-building foods. The book emphasizes building healthy intestinal flora that may have been damaged by antibiotics, steroids, other medications, dietary habits, or illnesses. It also teaches you why yeast is an issue, gluten should be avoided, dairy (except yogurt and kefir) should be avoided, colon cleansing is helpful, probiotics are important, and fully digesting food is important. The book also reinforces and explains how gluten, fructose, and lactose (milk sugar) increase the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast in the gut. Another reminder for me is that ninety percent of food allergies and sensitivities come from the most common reaction-producing foods: wheat, milk, corn, unfermented soy, and peanuts.

Gut Flush is just what I need to move forward in a healthy way!
Ann Louis Gittleman's new book, 'Gut Flush Plan', is just what I needed to boost my health the next step. After almost 25 years with a chronic illness, a friend recommended her 'Fat Flush Plan' when I was unable to lose weight. That was over 3 years ago; I lost 70 pounds and have kept it off for 2 years. The Gut Flush Plan takes metabolic fitness to the next level for me, concentrating on the yeast connection and colon cleansing seems for me the key to building up a healthy intestinal flora damaged by years of repeated antibiotics, steroids, and other complications of chronic illness. I am looking forward to losing the next 70 pounds and moving forward with my life in a healthy way. The best thing about the author's books is that each is packed full of the latest information to help with not just the help to resolve problems, but also the keys to understanding what can build and maintain a healthy gut for life.

Feel great and get healthy!
As a long time "Fat Flusher" I always look forward to to Ann Louise Gittleman's new books. And Gut Flush is a winner! I really like the healthy, nutritious food in this plan. The recipes are easy and delicious! I have not missed NOT having foods with gluten as there are many OTHER delicious non gluten grains I can eat like quinoa, rice, millet and buckwheat. In fact by eliminating gluten and dairy my constant sinus congestion is GONE!

I highly recommend doing the stool test that Ann Louise recommends as it is a comprehensive test that will help you target exactly what colon corruptor track you will need to follow. Finding out that I have a yeast problem has helped me understand some of my symptoms like bloating, itchy skin, and sinus congestion. By following the protocols I have eliminated these problems altogether!

For those of you looking to 'get healthy' this is the program for you! Just by following the colon corruptor track that you have chosen you can eliminate yeast, parasites, super bugs and tame your food allergies!

After discovering the foods that I am sensitive to and adjusting my eating I am totally off my allergy meds and thriving! But it's not just about leaving things OUT of my diet - it's about discovering other foods that I love and finding a whole new energy level! Who knew that I would find foods that satisfy AND taste great? And I have lost weight and inches as well! If you have had any ongoing health issues or just have chemical sensitivities or food allergies - this is a must read! Ann Louise walks you through a plan to deal with your issues - it's easy and effective! I plan to use this book as a way of life because I feel too good not to!!!
