Reviews-There is no other book like this one. It is an absolute essential for anyone dealing with functional problems of the digestive tract. Dr. Sandberg-Lewis is a legend in the Naturopathic medical community with over thirty years clinical and teaching experience in gastroenterology. The knowledge he shares in this book is extremely enlightening and will help countless doctors and patients. Thank you!- --Allison Siebecker, ND, MSOM, SIBO Consulting Physician Lecturer and Author -In Dr. Sandberg-Lewis' textbook, a parable about -Thinking Outside The Box- is described. Medical practitioners have boxed themselves into a tight and limited box of conventional wisdom derived from medical school and residency (where they were taught by a doctor just a few years older than themselves). This is anything but wise. Functional Gastroenterology takes a fresh look at GI disorders and can be a great resource to people with an open mind wishing to expand their horizons.- --Leonard Weinstock, MD, Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine Clinician, Author, and Researcher - Presenting options for comprehensive physical exam, laboratory assessment and treatment, this text provides the basis for primary and specialty physicians to diagnose and treat functional GI tract disorders.- --Jonathan Collin, MD Publisher, Townsend Letter--The Examiner of Alternative Medicine, "There is no other book like this one.
