Now, with the aid of leading research nutritionist Dr. Scala, the 2 million people afflicted with digestive disorders can at last learn to help themselves to relief.

James Scala, Ph.D., is a certified nutritional specialist who has a B.A. from Columbia University, a Ph.D. from Cornell, and did postdoctoral work at Harvard University. His professional accomplishments include research, teaching, corporate management, lecturing, and writing. He has been the nutritionist for the U.S. Olympic ski team, the Voyager flight, and three Mt. Everest expeditions. He lives in Lafayette, California.
IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) is an umbrella term for serious disorders of the large intestine, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Nutrition is important in managing these chronic diseases, and nutritional biologist Scala's recommendations seem sensible. Unfortunately, the title-- Eating Right for a Bad Gut--and promotional material for this book confuse IBD with the less serious and more common condition called IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), which Scala does not address at all. Such imprecise wording might lead to extreme anxiety in the unwary reader looking for information on indigestion.
