What Your Doctor Doesn’t (Have the Time to) Tell You, is written as if Jesse Houghton is speaking directly to his patients and explaining their conditions and answering their questions. This book tells you everything you’ve ever wanted to know about your GI system!

This book has answered many questions I’ve had about GI symptoms and so much more. As a nurse, it has taught me more about the GI system to inform my patients. It is so informative and well written. This author has given people insightful and useful information easily available in a book that most doctors “don’t have the time” to tell you about! 10/10.

This book is easy to read, and it covers topics that people want to know, and either are afraid to ask or even might be embarrassed to ask. So informative and educational. These topics affect everybody on the planet at one time or another during their life, so get your head out of the sand and read it. You won’t regret it.
