GUT Paperback - Giulia Enders

Experience the book everyone’s talking about: Gut by Giulia Enders

Constipation and other bowel problems are just about the most taboo subjects there are – as a result, how many of us have any understanding of how our digestion works? You’ve probably never even thought about it, but scientist Giulia Enders certainly has! She became fascinated by the gut while studying for a doctorate in Microbiology in Frankfurt. Enders’ presentation on bowels at the Science Slam festival in Berlin won first prize and became a viral sensation on Youtube because of her funny way of explaining the complicated and fascinating ways in which this part of our bodies works.

‘Gut’ expands on Enders’ research and takes us on a journey all the way from the mouth to the bottom, explaining the origins of different digestive problems along the way. Featuring delightful illustrations, ‘Gut’ is an accessible and hilarious handbook on gut health that will have you reciting facts to your friends for weeks! For example, did you know that the position of your stomach means it’s easier to burp while lying on your left side than on your right one? Find out the truth about why hangovers happen, what makes you bloated and why sitting down might not be the best way to go to the loo (something we already knew here at SNM with our Squatty Potties!)

Giulia Enders’ book has become a cultural sensation since it was released, ending up on bestseller lists around the world. Its original title is ‘Darm Mit Charme’ – ‘Charming Bowels’ – and you’ll certainly be charmed by this wonderful book! ‘Gut’ is a fascinating read for anyone, but if you suffer from digestive problems it’s particularly useful as it contains little known facts about allergies, intolerances and how to improve the balance of your gut bacteria. Whether you buy it for yourself, as a gift or both, ‘Gut’ is a real conversation starter!
