The Gut Health Protocol: A Nutritional Approach To Healing SIBO, Intestinal Candida, GERD, Gastritis, and other Gut Health Issues

I don't as a rule write book reviews for Amazon. But this is a fabulous book for anyone with gut issues, especially of the poorly defined kind such as SIBO, leaky gut, inflammation, dysbiosis, GERD and many other intestinal disorders that don't rise to the level of IBD but are hugely disruptive to lives and health. Mr Herron has done an enormous amount of research and reading of hundreds of medical articles and research studies and coalesced that knowledge into a protocol he's done himself to bring his SIBO and Fructose Malabsorption into remission, and literally healed his gut. For all of us who suffer from similar disorders who have spent years, even decades, searching from one Dr to the next for answers and helpful treatment, all to no avail, The Gut Health Protocol is a very viable and useful option for treatment modalities. I also have both SIBO and FM and have had both for over 20 years now. I too have spent gobs of time and money trying to find medical advice and physicians who have useful and healing treatment to offer. It is a great benefit that due to recent medical research, we now know a lot more about the origins of the damage that causes SIBO and other ongoing digestion challenges. But the treatment options haven't been very helpful, given the many diet and supplement and Rx recommendations I and many others have tried over the years, though I know the M.D. clinical physicians I've seen have done their best. But Mr Herron's book takes the knowledge currently available about the cause of these problems and deeply researches the medical literature across many disciplines for practical and demonstrably helpful treatments that have been documented in many different studies. He cites over 375 such papers and published research in his book. And importantly, he's tried all the suggestions he recommends, clearly is making no money at all on any product he recommends, and has improved his own gut health enormously. I have had the first positive signs of improvement in my SIBO and FM in over 20 years by following his protocols, though it's important to state that it's a long process and there are ups and downs along the way. And as with any treatment, it may not work for all patients who try it. And, given the huge amount of information in the book, we all have to put in the time to truly study it in detail to understand how it can benefit many of us. But the underlying nutritional healing of the gut that The Gut Health Protocol lays out makes great sense once you understand how the human gut is meant to work….and to be fed, to both heal and keep our digestive systems healthy. So if you are looking for a new option or don't know what to do next to try to improve your gut problems, The Gut Health Protocol is a clear, thorough road map for treating your gut disorders and is supported by all the cited medical information Mr Herron has read and distilled in his book. Even if you decide not to follow the recommendations, the knowledge you'll gain by reading his book will serve anyone well who has, or knows someone who has, one of these relentless, not clearly "figured out" gut disorders that so compromise many people's lives today. This book is a bargain at the price. I'm very glad I bought it and can recommend it highly.

To the author, John Herron, I am unsure that you will see this review, but I am posting it in case you do, to share my sincere gratitude. As well I am adding this review, so others can view how this protocol helped me. I started writing this and it grew and grew. So, I revised it to attempt to shorten it (tough for me as I am very wordy, once I get going, sorry). Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!Your amazing, well researched, well organized, all-encompassing book, protocol and pre / probiotic (Phage Complete) have changed my life. I was so very ill I lived on my bathroom floor because of gut pain, bloating and chronic constipation. I had seen countless doctors, none of whom could diagnose what my issue was. One even told me it was in my head. No, it was in my gut! Another told me to take Miralax 5 times per day, for life, because I would just have to learn to live with it. Because of your book, I requested a SIBO test and this was my predominant issue. After following your natural protocol, I am so much better. Quality of life is 200% better. Your book encompasses so many issues that could affect one person. How you figured all of this out and put it together in a comprehensive way that makes sense is beyond me. Your AWESOME prebiotic and probiotic, Phage Complete, has also been a huge game changer for my gut health. My family also thanks you, as I was not living, was barely existing. A health issue goes beyond affecting the individual, it affects their family as well.So, anyone with gut problems, you must read the book and determine what your main issues are and follow the suggestions. You will become SO empowered with knowledge. You can join the Facebook Group and get even more information, specific to your issues. Phage Complete is also a must in this protocol. You will become an expert on your specific issue(s). The book is beyond well researched, with links to scientific studies, backing up the protocol. It works. It is as simple as that. There is not usually just one specific issue of the gut, in my experience, oftentimes it is several things – one can utilize the book to help determine your issues and then customize your approach, based on the information discussed in the book. Many want a quick fix and to not have to change their diet. No one pill from a doctor will cure your gut issues, it is a diet and lifestyle change – and you will feel so much better for it. Your quality of health and life will improve, as mine has. So, John Herron, I could keep writing, but will stop here. Your book and help have been beyond invaluable. You are a wonderful individual, truly a genius, in fact! Thank you! :)
