America's Trusted Digestive Nutrition Expert reveals the many causes of irregularity, with tailored solutions for a dozen common--and some lesser-known--issues, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Malabsorption, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Histamine Intolerance.

Belly bloat, diarrhea, constipation, and irritable bowels may not seem like the sexiest topics--but they still affect millions of Americans every year.

Rather than focusing on a single one-size-fit-all approach to restoring bowel regularity, Regular aims to help readers identify the likely cause of their irregular bowel patterns and offers a wide variety of personalized solutions. For example, Freuman explains that while a high fiber diet that might help someone with slow transit constipation, it could make symptoms worse for someone constipated as the result of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.

Regular will guide readers to narrow down the specific cause of their irregularity and provide tips, including: questions to take to your next doctors visit; tables listing foods likely to be problematic and suggested alternatives; sample menus for different therapeutic diets; and foods and supplements that may be helpful for specific types of diarrhea and constipation.
Whether you are dealing with chronic diarrhea or constipation, Regular will cover a dozen of the most common causes of bowel irregularity with detailed descriptions of their presentations that a sufferer should recognize, including:

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Lactose, Fructose and Sucrose Intolerances
• Malabsorptive conditions, including SIBO, Bile Acid Malabsorption, Celiac Disease and Pancreatic Insufficiency
• Histamine Intolerance
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis)
• Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
