DO YOU WANT TO BE HEALTHY?

For those who consult with medical professionals, diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is usually made in the absence of "red flag" concerning features. Treatment is unsatisfactory, quality of life usually impaired, ability to function and work often compromised, and unnecessary health care utilization and costs result.

IMPORTANTLY, INITIAL DIAGNOSIS OF IBS IS A MISTAKE, BECAUSE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT DEPENDS UPON ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS!

IBS is a Disorder of Gut-Brain Interaction, which can be treated. The problem isn't "all in the head," a psychosomatic disorder, or directly caused by stress. However, there are 6 other common and specifically treatable causes that either mimic IBS or occur with it. These can be identified with blood, stool, and breath testing. Colonoscopy usually isn't necessary!

THERE ARE THREE REALITIES MOST PEOPLE AND DOCTORS DON'T UNDERSTAND:
Impaired function or dysfunction of gut-brain interaction has a lot to do with the cause of chronic GI disorders.
The resident microbes (gut microbiome) are very important for both gut and whole health.
We're all in an epidemic of chronic illness and disease. A root cause, operating at the microscopic cellular level, links them.

BOTH PATIENTS AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ARE FRUSTRATED AND DISSATISFIED.

HOPE & SOLUTIONS: Integrative gastroenterologist WILLIAM B. SALT II, MD, takes you on a journey where you'll learn how fire in the gut leads to fire in the body. He'll show you how to put out the fire, heal, and discover whole health.

You're on Fire includes nearly 250 illustrations prepared by Dr Salt.

About the Author

Dr Salt graduated from medical school at The Ohio State University and trained at Vanderbilt University Hospitals, where he also served as Chief Resident in Medicine. He is board-certified in both internal medicine and gastroenterology. He has encompassed a lifelong career focus on, and expertise with, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Tens of millions of Americans suffer with a triad of symptoms, called enteropathy, which is the most common reason for digestive medical consultation:

abdominal pain and/or discomfort,

gas – abdominal bloating, distention, flatulence, and/or noisy sounds, and

bowel dysfunction – constipation, diarrhea, or both.

While most of these symptomatic people are diagnosed with IBS, IT IS A MISTAKE TO DO SO! There are at least six other underlying disorders or diseases that must be considered. Using a football analogy, Dr Salt calls them the “Pick Six.” All six disorders/diseases can usually be diagnosed non-invasively (without colonoscopy or scans) with blood, stool, and breath testing.

The book updated in all formats to the extent possible.
