The Troubled Gut : The Causes and Consequences of Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is a universal and sometimes serious condition which is little understood.

Brooke's readable book, based on a lifetime's work with bowel disorders, aims to lift the veil of ignorance, presenting a narrative on the causes of diarrhoea, the circumstances which give rise to danger, and the precautions necessary to avoid it.

Besides describing the dysenteries and enteric fever, Brooke gives full accounts of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
