Dear Readers,
I am pleased to announce the release of the second edition of Digestive Wellness--November 1999. You will find hundreds of small changes and additional therapeutic options for many conditions. In addition to all of the original sections, the new edition also contains sections on Attention Deficit Disorder, Asthma, Autism, and Schizophrenia. Each of these medical conditions has significant digestive components. I do hope that you find this expanded edition useful.

I am grateful to the many people who have contacted me to thank me for writing Digestive Wellness. Your comments have been welcomed. I am thrilled thatso many of you have benefitted so greatly from the book. That was my hope in writing it.

An amazing book on an odd but important topic, May 17, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from Chicago
I read this book not because I had digestive problems per se, but because a friend recommended it as one of the most interesting, empathetic, and broadly applicable books on health issues that she'd ever read (!) And I found that I agree. Completely. Digestive Wellness addresses arthritis, food sensitivities, migraine headaches, and skin conditions, explaining how digestive problems--whether or not they manifest themselves as such--can be responsible. A must read for ANYONE with a digestive system and an interest in maximizing his or her health!

Digestion is the Question, November 22, 1999
Reviewer: Terry Arden Pollock from Atlanta, GA
For health professionals and lay people alike, this book presents a clear and useful description of the digestive process and its fundamental importance in health. Many of us do not want to know about this vital system, or else we take it for granted. Lipski does a superb job of helping the reader learn, heal and prevent further problems regarding digestion. If you've ever had the common sense notion that poor digestion needs to be fixed before a healthy diet or supplements will do much good, this book is for you. If you've never had such a thought and you get totally bloated after meals, you might want to check it out as well. A thoughtful and easy read!
