How to Understand Your GIT. Harmless Signals from Your Body and Symptoms to Pay Attention to

The structure of the gastrointestinal tract may seem very simple to many - a long digestive tube that runs through the body. However, it is much more complex than it appears at first glance. A variety of substances are involved in the process of digestion. The GIT has its own nervous system, and it houses a whole universe of microorganisms, which are incredibly important for our health. Even the slightest discomfort in the abdomen can cause unpleasant sensations, directly affecting well-being and mood.

What causes heartburn, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation? Why do taste disturbances sometimes occur? What types of pain are characteristic of the GIT? What is microbiota and lactose deficiency? What symptoms indicate problems with the gastrointestinal tract?

Answers to these questions can be found in the book by gastroenterologist and dietitian Daniela Purgin.

You will learn a lot about how the GIT works and what diseases most often affect the gastrointestinal tract. The book “How to Understand Your GIT” will explain in an accessible and engaging way what happens inside this amazing system of our body, and will suggest which manifestations deserve special attention.
