The Bloated Belly Whisperer: A Nutritionist's Ultimate Guide to Beating Bloat and Improving Digestive Wellness

Dr recommended this book and it definitely helped me to adjust my eating habits to promote good gut health.

I had been suffering with digestive issues for almost a year and was at a loss as to what to do. I started researching and came across this book. The diagnostic quiz was very helpful and it was spot on. I love the recipes. Made the Chicken Tortilla Soup and we loved it. Tried to get into the baking mood for the holidays and just made the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies and we LOVE them. The recipes are simple and the ingredient are easy to find. This was both a great educational book and a great cookbook to get things started. Highly recommend!

This book gave words to what I've been trying to tell my MDs. This issue is a complex one I have struggled with for a long time, but the author explains the myriad of issues very clearly and made them simple to understand. I learned so much about all the things that can be causing my painful bloated belly. If your responses to the quiz show that you have a specific condition, this book will nail it and tell you all your options for diagnosis and treatment ,including what foods and supplements could help, as well as recipes. It's a Goldmine. In my case there was no clear condition. I scored high for many conditions. I read them all and now understand why my MD is doing particular procedures. My frustration with the quiz was that in many cases it says to choose one. For me there was no one. Often there were even many options. I tried scoring it various ways and got different answers but still no definite condition and the advice for one can be the opposite for others. I have no doubt that if the author were my dietician, she working with her gastroenterologist could resolve my situation. But I live in CA and neither my dietician or my GI MD seem to have this knowledge. Thanks to this book I can see they're trying this and that so I now understand what they are trying to do, but I feel like they are guessing and don't know how to approach my conundrum. This book will help me to ask the right questions of them and hopefully they will better understand how to help me. So it's worth reading thoroughly even if you can't get a specific diagnosis.So I highly recommend this book for all us with bloated bellies and hope you find a clear condition because if so I think it will truly benefit directly.

This book isn't about selling products or supplements. It's actually about helping the public feel better and end life-long searches for solutions to their symptoms.I never write reviews, but felt strongly about this one because it truly changed my life and I want to recommend it to the world !! I get most of my books from the library but I purchased a copy after getting a rec. from a friend, and am so glad I did. Over 6 months later I keep referencing the smart and straight-forward writing, and have been physically helped by the answers in this book. t's a STEAL OF DEAL, and hard to believe that all this info is even available in a book when people pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars to hear (if they're lucky) 1 or 2 pearls of wisdom conveyed in the chapters.I've suffered from digestive issues from most of my life, which ultimately propelled me to go back to school for nutrition to help others with their digestive issues as well. I have to say that despite my lengthy grad school training and being treated by some top GI doctors in NYC, I learned so many new pieces of knowledge based on the author's research and years and years of experience. Her guidance not only helped me personally, but it's an incredible guide and handbook for me to use professionally. I love that it's easy to understand for any level, and that her witty, straightforward writing was so fun to read.Most people in my life have *some* kind of digestion-related issue either constantly or once in a while, and I've recommended this book every time I hear about it impacting them. I believe that if every GI doctor and dietician out there owned a copy of this book, we'd be in a much better place by now!!ALSO, the recipes in the back are DELISH!! The salmon cakes and Moroccan tagine have become staples in my life!

Tamara’s book changed my life and provided me with the answers I was looking for and the help I needed. It’s informative, interesting, and easy to understand. After reading the book I am appointment with her and the gastro docs she works with and am feeling so much better. Thank you Tamara!

Ahoy there me mateys!  This book showed up towards the end of journey into the FODMAP diet.  I had already been (finally) diagnosed and was at the tail end of figuring out the list of many foods that cause me grief.   But I saw this title on NetGalley, thought "well more information is always good", and got a partial eArc from the publisher.  I was mainly interested in the recipe recommendations and to see what other recommendations there were for combating bloat as all the doctors were disinclined or confused about how to actually treat the recurring systems that just wouldn't go away.  None of the standard medication worked for me.So I ended up really liking this book as an additional resource.  The particular sections that were invaluable dealt with supplements, fiber, and the research results of some of the recent studies.  I do think this would be a great starting point into possibilities of bloating issues and wish I had this back in the beginning.  There is even a quiz to that can help determine which conditions ye might have.  So much suffering and useless medical tests could have been avoided.  I do have to say that the recipes in this book were lackluster.  Basically there are a couple of recipes for each type of diagnosis.  So don't buy this for the recipes.  But if ye experience unusual painful bloating and are at a loss as to how to get rid of it then this book might be handy. Arrr!

This book is extremely informative and easy to read, as a result I read the whole book within a few hours of receiving it. It is clear in information and format, I will definitely be keeping hold of it in case I need to refer to it in the future. In the meantime I am looking forward to putting some of the advice given into practice.If you have tummy troubles I highly recommend you invest in this book.

At last someone who says how it is.Helps to understand why you have so many variables with insight on how to look at what the cause could be.

This book is utterly amazing. It has so much information and knowledge about your gut and bloated belly. Ladies you have to buy it . It’s well spent

Not really what I wanted & was disappointed.Didn’t tell me anything new or helpful & each chapter had too many permutations.

Interesting and insightful, kind of as expected, not amazing but I guess I'm glad I bought it.
