Integrative Gastroenterology
Integrative Gastroenterology is a comprehensive guide for healthcare practitioners and patients interested in taking a holistic approach to gastrointestinal health. The book, edited by Gerard E. Mullin, MD, an internationally recognized expert in integrative gastroenterology and nutrition, provides evidence-based strategies that blend conventional and complementary therapies for the treatment and prevention of digestive disorders.
Dr. Mullin is an Associate Professor of Medicine at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Director of Integrative Gastroenterology Nutrition Services at the Johns Hopkins Integrative Medicine and Digestive Center.

The introduction of Integrative Gastroenterology explains the limitations of conventional medicine in treating gastrointestinal disorders and the benefits of integrating complementary therapies into patient care. The book covers a range of topics, including the role of the gut microbiome in digestive health, the use of probiotics and prebiotics, the impact of stress on the digestive system, and the benefits of mind-body therapies such as meditation and yoga.
Integrative Gastroenterology also includes practical advice on nutrition, including a review of dietary approaches such as the low-FODMAP diet and the Mediterranean diet, and guidance on the use of supplements and botanicals in managing digestive disorders. The book is an essential resource for healthcare practitioners looking to expand their understanding of integrative medicine and for patients seeking a more holistic approach to their gastrointestinal health.
