If you suffer from frequent bouts of diarrhea, or have been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or Leaky Gut Syndrome, then this informative book may help you. Having endured dietary problems for many years, Sara Blake wondered if she would ever reach the point of solving these issues sufficiently to stabilize her health. She experimented on herself, supplemented by research on the internet - mostly government and academic websites - and she relied on medical testing to rule out any other causes of her problems. Having finally reached a point where she can now manage her difficulties, she has written this book in the hope of helping others to combat the daily strain that these symptoms place on their lives. If your digestive system does not work and a medical diagnosis suggests that there is nothing wrong with you; if you have been diagnosed with IBS or Leaky Gut Syndrome; if you suffer from diarrhea, but your doctor has ruled out cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD: Colitis and Crohn's disease) and celiac disease; if food makes you sick and you cannot tolerate foods that others can digest easily; or if you have inadequate stomach acid, bile or digestive enzymes, then Food Intolerance will help you discover what foods you can eat so as to reduce the unpleasant symptoms and ease your daily life. Food Intolerance is dedicated to those who need help with their dietary issues in order that they too, can stabilize their health.

Following on from the success of the first edition, John Coveney traces our complex relationship with food and eating and our preoccupation with diet, self-discipline and food guilt. Using our current fascination with health and nutrition, he explores why our appetite for food pleasures makes us feel anxious. This up-to-date edition includes an examination of how our current obsession with body size, especially fatness, drives a national and international panic about the obesity ‘epidemic’. Focusing on how our food anxieties have stemmed from social, political and religious problems in Western history, Food, Morals and Meaning looks at: the ancient Greeks’ preoccupation with eating early Christianity and the conflict between the pleasures of the flesh and spirituality scientific developments in eighteenth and nineteenth century Europe and our current knowledge of food the social organization of food in the modern home, based on real interviews the obesity ‘epidemic’ and its association with moral degeneration. Based on the work of Michel Foucault, this fresh and updated edition explains how a rationalization food choice – so apparent in current programmes on nutrition and health – can be traced through a genealogy of historical social imperatives and moral panics. Food, Morals and Meaning is essential reading for those studying nutrition, public health, sociology of health and illness and sociology of the body.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
