Product Description
The Breakthrough Cleansing Program to Rid Your Body of the Toxins That Make You Sick, Tired, and Bloated A groundbreaking plan to cleanse your system and revitalize your health.
In light of the recent food scares (E. coli in spinach and salmonella in peanut butter) and the rising incidence in illness from smartbugs, parasites, yeast, and hidden food sensitivities, award-winning author and detox diet expert Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., explains why we must now more than ever Fortify, Flush, and Feed our bodies from within.
In
The Gut Flush Plan, Gittleman outlines a comprehensive plan to heal our bodies, lower our risk of infection, and revitalize our health.
In no nonsense and informative chapters, she reveals:
• what’s happening in your gut to create the internal
• environment that allows toxins to thrive in the first Place
• what to do about the deadly new infection that is antibiotic resistant and spreading in salons, schools, gyms, and hospitals
• how gluten and high levels of fructose and lactose can add to bacterial and yeast imbalances in the gut, further impacting Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Most important: Gittleman spells out the Gut Flush program’s key principles in what she calls the 21-Day Gut Flush Plan, which includes simple recipes, nutritional information and a sidebar tip for each day. In
The Gut Flush Plan, Gittleman will set you on a life-changing program to detoxify your body, energize your metabolism into action, and begin your journey to healthy living.

Reader Reviews
Ann Louise Gittleman is one of nutrition's superstars. It is impossible to read anything she writes and not learn something that will cause you to change your eating habits for the better. Because of one of her books, I added zinc supplements to my vegetarian diet and immediately felt more energetic. Her new book, The Gut Flush Plan, is no exception to her library of important and useful books. This book provides a 21-Day Gut Flush Plan, with daily menus, easy recipes, nutritional information, and shopping lists. The program is designed to detoxify your body; fortify your digestive system against pathogens; flush your digestive system of toxins, pathogens, and parasites; and feed you nourishing GI-building foods. The book emphasizes building healthy intestinal flora that may have been damaged by antibiotics, steroids, other medications, dietary habits, or illnesses. It also teaches you why yeast is an issue, gluten should be avoided, dairy (except yogurt and kefir) should be avoided, colon cleansing is helpful, probiotics are important, and fully digesting food is important. The book also reinforces and explains how gluten, fructose, and lactose (milk sugar) increase the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast in the gut. Another reminder for me is that ninety percent of food allergies and sensitivities come from the most common reaction-producing foods: wheat, milk, corn, unfermented soy, and peanuts. The book's contents are: Introduction: Food Fright Part 1: Why You Need the Gut Flush Plan 1. You Can Fight Gut Grief 2. The GI's Good Guys: HCl, Probiotics, and Digestive Enzymes 3. Colon Corruptor #1: Yeast 4. Colon Corruptor #2: Parasites 5. Colon Corruptor #3: Superbugs 6. Colon Corruptor #4: Food Sensitivities Part 2: How the Gut Flush Plan Works 7. Step 1: Fortify 8. Step 2: Flush 9. Step 3: Feed Part 3: The 21-Day Gut Flush Plan 10. Getting Ready for the Gut Flush 11. Week One: Focus on Fortifying 12. Week Two: Focus on Flushing 13. Week Three: Focus on Feeding Part 4: The Gut Flush Plan for Life 14. Gut Flush at Home 15. Gut Flush on the Road 16. Ensuring a Healthy Gut for Life Appendix: The Gut Flush Recipes Source Notes, Resources, Index Whether it's a food you are allergic or sensitive to, yeast overgrowth, parasites, or some superbug, your body is being barraged by some enemy. This book will help you fight off any and all of these offenders and be healthier. Highly recommended! A great companion book is THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams.
