Is your belly bloated, do you have digestive upset, do you suffer from gas or have an irritable bowel? If so, this is the book for you. Lots of tips on a diet with recipes included. An explanation of terms so you are able to converse with health professionals in a more helpful way. A must-have guide for anyone with stomach problems. I read an arc copy via Net Galley and voluntarily chose to write a review.

I was intrigued by the concept of this and was excited to read it as I have digestive issues that cause me to suffer from bloating. However, I wasn't able to get very far in this as a lot of the sections were complete gibberish in places of important information. It's hard to get a feel for the book when you're not able to read any specific material that can help you.

As other reviews have noted, much of the pre publish downloaded version is gibberish. It would have been nice to read it fully. As It stands, the readable portions are interesting and a good resource for persons with belly issues,healthcare professionals, and in particlar, dietitians. As noted by the author, it is always best to seek professional assistance. The information may be useful for person with belly issues to start a good dialogue with their healthcare professional.
I read this book as a complimentary copy from the publisher via Net Galley and the opinions expressed are my own.

This book has given me so many answers and made me realize how much my eating habits affteced my stomac.

It begins with an overview of how the digestive system works, complete with illustrations and provides you with a quiz to narrow down your own stomach issues, which then refers you to the chapter concerning this issue. Some of the issues the book describes are: classic indigestion, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and celiac disease.
It then provides you with two diets, recipes included! The book is a must for anyone who deals with stomach issues.

Thank you to the author and publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

All things "belly," I guess you could say. I applaud the author for the amount of well-researched information she provided. The gut is often called The Second Brain, and Freuman adds to the growing understanding that it's more complex and fascinating than we laypeople might ever have imagined. There's a short quiz the reader can take to help set them on the right diagnostic path, then recommendations are provided in an attempt to help alleviate symptoms.

Contrary to the impression the cover may give, this is not a recipe book for persnickety bellies. If you enjoy the science behind our bodily functions, you'll no doubt enjoy the read.

This is a superb and thorough resource for people suffering from belly bloat. The author carefully separates out the various symptoms of a myriad of causes of belly-bloat and gives carefully considered advice in terms of cause and diet. She separates out the most common reasons of belly bloat and gives a symptom description, a list of trigger foods or/and lifestyle and what to do next. The author doesn't overstep her bounds and doesn't over-promise. She emphasizes the need to consult a physician and also what kind of information a patient should keep track of to share with a physician. I know a number of people who've suffered belly bloat for years. This book is a great tool and I'll be recommending it to my friends.

I am not done reading this book but it has been quite valuable thus far on educating me on the many digestive issues that people experience. I was so excited to get my hands on this because my husband has Celiac Disease, major issues with bloating, and other digestive problems. I also have a Sister who deals with digestive issues as well as diverticulitis, bloating and belching, etc and think this book would be helpful to her also. I will likely order a copy to keep on hand and would highly recommend the read to anyone who has or loves someone who has digestive problems, especially bloating issues. In general this book is for anyone, we have all on occasion experienced the uncomfortable bloat and learning what the underlying causes are can help us navigate our way to better health if we understand how our bodies interact with certain foods. I am excited to finish the book!

This was a great and informative book. Learning and realizing how much my eating habits effect having a bloated belly and how I can change those habits was very helpful. This is a book I can re-read and still learn something.

This book is so useful. A must read for everyone of all ages. It explains bloating, constipation, bacterial bloat GI Diet and digestive support supplements. It helps you to reduce your problems .

A must read! Many questions are answered and you will have a happier belly.

If you suffer from bloating, pick up a copy of The Bloated Belly Whisper. Simple, easy to read tips about how to stop bloating once and for all. Very helpful!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Excellent self-help book for those with dodgy tummy's and what you can do to minimise the effects of bloating.

Thank you to Netgalley, author and publisher for an advanced copy.

This book is a really well researched and well written run-down of the various causes of bloating and how to remedy it. This is a super-common problem, especially among those of us of a certain age going through peri-menopause or menopause, when the body starts going through some big changes. The first thing folks think of is "oh gosh maybe I have Celiac" and even though the symptoms and triggers don't quite fit, no one is really talking about the other 8 or 9 possible causes so we haven't had a great source of info for what else could be ailing us. This book provides that info, with intelligence and humor.
I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

If anyone has problems with their digestion they should read this book. This book has some great tips and information for people to use. People should try these tips.

Loved The Bloated Belly Whisperer. As someone who deals with a blaoted tummy daily, I've learned so much from this book. It was super informative and I will be definatelty be following all of the tips and tricks in the future!

If you have problems of digestion and bloated belly, this book is for you. After a quizz to know what types of problems you encounter, they give you insights about how changing your eating habits can help you.

This is truly a blueprint of all the gastric woes and how to combat them. As a person who has had my fair share of issues with belly bloat, I can appreciate this extensive, well written book. I recommend it to anyone who wants to maintain a clean gut. Get this book!

This is a brilliant book for what has become a very common problem. I loved the way it was organised and how you could identify which cause of bloating you are most likely to have. This would be a brilliant resource for doctors due to the multitude of bloating causes. While it is not specific enough to diagnose it is a great tool for exploring and asking the right questions. Very well written and organised, and very easy to understand. Highly recommended. Thank you

There is some good information in the book, recipes and bloated type. Again this is a book for informational use only. Near the beginning you have a bloating quiz, after you do that you can go to the section that deals with that bloating you may have. So she does go into the fact that there is different bloating types.

Wow! The subtitle of this book is "Learn the Secret Language of Digestive Distress and Tame Your Troubled Tummy Once and for All" and the author, Tamara Duker Freuman, MS, RD, CDN delivers on that promise. It turns out that there are many different types and causes of bloating, and even more ways to diagnose and treat a sore belly. Freuman uses descriptive layman's language to describe the various symptoms, treatments and diets that can help identify and alleviate indigestion, gas, reflux and other indicators of a malfunctioning tummy. I loved that she went into detail about the types of medical tests (some extremely invasive) and alternative ways to diagnose bloated bellies. I also appreciate that there was no hidden agenda - some books like to push just one angle (e.g., gluten) as the source/cure all for certain diseases, but Freuman provides advice on everything from medications to diet and biofeedback. She debunks a lot of the myths surrounding dietary supplements (no, probiotics are NOT for everyone!) and goes into detailed descriptions about the mechanisms and effectiveness of digestive supports. I recommend this book for anyone who has frequent issues with belly pain and it's related symptoms.
