A magnificent book to read and learn about our guts.

It is easy to understand by using layman's terms.

Discovered and came across very much of the living tips that we hardly know such as pooping, eating, vomiting, and constipation.

How to sit and what position makes us pass our solid waste from our body effectively.

What is the result caused by the "not my toilet" syndrome?

How can Probiotics and prebiotics benefit us?

We need good bacteria to improve our immune system and also reduce our daily stress.

I should give the prebiotic and probiotic supplements a try.

This is a great intro to a fascinating subject, written with the casual reader and layperson in mind. It is almost unbelievable that we know so little about such an important part of our body (scientists know more about bees than they do about our belly-based bacteria). Our digestive system is the only part of our body that operates outside of the purview of our brain. Perhaps this is why we have so many emotional expressions that we tie to our belly ("gut reaction", "butterflies from being in love", etc.)

Here are some other nifty things I learned:

95% of our body's serotonin is produced in our gut.

Our gut bacteria have 150 times more genes than a human being.

Saliva produces a painkiller called opiorphin - stronger than morphine and only discovered in 2006.

The surface area of our digestive system is about 100 times greater than the area of our skin.

Studies have shown that our gut bacteria has the ability to influence cravings in our brain for particular foods.

The total mass of bacteria in our body equals roughly 2.2 kilos.


A fun, informative read. I look forward to advances in science that will help us to recognize our own personal gut flora and what we can do to best care for it.

*review based on Audible audiobook*

This is a book which is perfect for audio. Written for the layperson, it is informative and funny, but without the added benefit of an amazing narrator (who is able to get the tone just right), it may have seemed a little bit silly. Another reviewer noted the abundance of exclamation marks- in the text, that might be annoying, but when read aloud by Katy Sobey, the jokes and wry exclamations seem just right.

The content was interesting and entertaining, both educational and practical. Despite my background in healthcare and personal experience with an irksome gut, there was lots here I didn't know and tips I could put into practice. This is not just a boring run through of the mouth-anus journey, Enders uses up-to-date research to show how scientists are finding out more and more about how the gut can affect the body in surprising ways. From how having a baby by caesarean section can leave the child more prone to asthma, to the links between certain gut flora and depression, risk taking, and suicide, this book is a trove of fascinating information. It also has a section on what your poo should look like. In other words, it has it all.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to know a bit more about how their body works.

A charming book. Which seems an odd thing to write about a book which touches on bad breathe and its causes, tonsil stones, faeces, food intolerances, and vomiting (horses, the poor things, can't vomit, while we can co-ordinate our intestines to do so), and don't she says, attempt to induce vomiting, your gut and brain can be relied upon to sort it all out by themselves, but there we are, this is a book that discusses such things, asserts the centrality of the gut and the role of the bacteria in it in our health and ill-health in an utterly charming way.

If naturally I was one of her teaching staff I might with a sigh of "Fr盲ulein Enders" dock her ten marks for that charm and another ten for the lack of footnotes, but just, of course, because you've got to keep students on their toes. She is careful to note how many participants there have been on trials and if they were on humans or hamsters, and that while the Masai do consume certain bacteria and have very low cholesterol despite a diet of almost entirely meat and milk that they also walk for thirteen or so hours a day and fast for one month in every twelve. In short despite the absence of footnotes she is both charming and careful.

In , I believe that Father Zosima, or somebody similar, say that the Kingdom of God is within us. In Enders account of the digestive system we see that this is literally true. Bacteria co-exist with us making it possible to digest foods and extract the nutrition we need, even producing chemicals that we are incapable of manufacturing ourselves. Lack of certain bacteria or a rich enough variety of them increases our risk of autoimmune disorders, faecal transplants a powerful cure for certain diarrhoeas. The brain she mentions in passing by analogy to other creatures, is only useful for getting about from A to B. If you can become completely sedentary, you could do without it completely, the Gut, completely capable of running the show on its own, indeed she points out, it has a deep and not completely understood influence upon the brain.

If, she says, you you use a cloth to wipe your dishes and a towel to clean them you are finely and evenly coating your crockery and pots with a layer of bacteria . At the same time she warns against using anti-bacterial products as these are indiscriminate and kill the good and useful - creating living space for the harmful and indestructible.

This is though plainly a book that will be supplanted, or revised many, many times, as Enders tells us the study of the Bacteria in our gut is rather new, we know a fair deal about some of those involved in digesting milk but not much more, yet potentially it can provide insights in to the migration and settlement patterns (and diet) of ancient human populations (as we inherit a health wodge of gut bacteria from our generous mothers) and into weird areas - Toxoplasmata has an effect on risk taking in a study of 3,890 Czech army recruits tracked over a few years the presence of Toxoplasmata in the blood was the highest risk factor of likelihood of having an accident, so much for free will.

A very gentle introduction to the world within us from the teeth to the anus and the creatures that live in between, looking at the impressive physical structures that keep us moving and functioning. She's careful in her descriptions so you are not plunged into a stew of indigestible language and Latin terms. Also the friendly text is broken up by illustrations by the author's sister which also contributed to the charm of the book.

Ich interessiere mich sehr f眉r das Thema "Ern盲hrung und Gesundheit". Was und wie wir essen bestimmt, zumindest zum Teil, auch unsere Gesundheit. Das wird in diesem Buch wieder deutlich.
Ich habe einiges lernen k枚nnen, anderes wusste ich schon, wurde mir aber durch dieses Buch wieder bewusst gemacht.
Das Buch ist f眉r ein Sachbuch recht locker geschrieben. Auch dadurch hat es wirklich Spa脽 gemacht, sich auf diese Art etwas mehr Wissen 眉ber den Darm anzueignen.

I did enjoy scientific parts of this book, I found out some stuff I haven't heard before, but fart jokes and such became rather annoying at some point. I understand that the author was trying to keep it "light" so her readers wouldn't start yawning and dozing off on facts parts, but I think it would be better off without it... Oh well, maybe I'm just not the target reader for this book.

In general - pretty good, informative and rather recommended, especially if you didn't know you shouldn't put your fingers in your mouth after scratching your butthole. You're welcome!

Audio + paper version.
I can't help but mention the wonderful voice of narrator Agn臈 Kaktait臈, listening to the audio! One of the rare audiobooks where I wanted to go back and listen precisely because of the voice!

Fun descriptions, cheerful sentences, as if presented on a platter to kindergarten children, especially those who lack imagination. It turns out the book also has fun illustrations. It's simply a complete package to make it easier to befriend the intestinal system.
And not just to lift the mood, but I also took away a lot of genuinely useful experiences!"

Recommended for those who would like to know more about how their bodies work, but are afraid of biological/medical jargon. Written by a young woman in medical school, this work explains things in lay-person鈥檚 terms and is very accessible.

A pretty good section on our reliance on gut bacteria to mentor our immune system and help us to process our food. She explains very clearly why too much cleanliness is not necessarily a good thing. (Did you know that the whole 鈥渃leanliness is next to godliness鈥� idea was part of the campaign to stop the spread of tuberculosis? That our society鈥檚 disparagement of public spitting dates from this epidemic?)

I guess I was expecting too much of the book however鈥擨 know that the gut & the skin develop from the same embryonic layer and that there are quite a few links now between gut problems and skin rashes. I was hoping for a more detailed discussion, but it occupied only a few sentences in the book.

Also, I continue to search for something that will explain the connection between gut bacteria and food intolerances/sensitivities and suggest useful methods to cope with such things. This was mentioned in passing, but no 鈥渉ow to help yourself鈥� guide. Rats!

A good, basic explanation of how the digestive system works.

I began this year by reading a book about the human body by Bill Bryson. And, as it happened, this was a fateful choice. Not only does that book include a dire warning about the possibility of future pandemics, but I now find myself teaching an elementary school class on the human body. It seemed only right, then, to return to this fragile walking, talking colony of cells in these final days of 2020.

I must now admit that I read the English version of this book in the hopes that I could finally read the German version, which a friend had loaned to me months ago. Incidentally, the German title is significantly better than the English one: Darm mit Charme (鈥淚ntestines with Charm鈥�). The Spanish version at least captures the spirit of this title, if not the literal meaning, with La digesti贸n es la cuesti贸n. In English, however, we are left with the pithy but charmless: Gut.

Giulia Enders published this little book at the ripe old age of 25. And a lot of the charm of this book derives from the odd juxtaposition of a bubbly young woman describing farts and feces. The light and fun tone does help to offset the potentially gross subject-matter, and the result is an effective work of popular science. (I also must say that parts of the book struck me as extremely German. Am I supposed to believe that sauerkraut, potato salad, and yogurt are the keys to intestinal health?)

Considering the discrete silence that usually attends the act of swallowing, digesting, and expelling, most of us know surprisingly little about this actual process, so even some of the basic science is interesting. But Enders also incorporates some newer discoveries. I did not know, for example, that there is an extensive nerve network in our guts that operates semi-autonomously from our brains; and I had only vague notions about the bacteria residing in our large intestines.

Now, my only hope is that this book does not turn out to be a fateful choice, too.

This is a nice little book for readers who normally shy away from medical based books.

It handles the science in a light, at times humorous way to make the medical explanations more palatable (pun intended).

I am a keen reader of medical non-fiction, so I prefer slightly more rigorous books on this type of topic (see ). Or investigative books that go out of their way to provide a plethora of trivia (see ).

I had a slight issue with the author's brand of humor and the dumbed down writing style (but I am not the target audience so I get why it was written in this fashion) however, this was not a complete waste of time as I found the latter part of the book enjoyable.

Especially the sections on cholesterol and gut bacteria, the gut-brain connection as well as the chapter on dangerous bacteria like toxoplasmata. If you are a cat owner, you may want to Google this 馃槉

Recommended for people who has an interest in this subject matter but do not know where to start.

Rating 3* out of 5. I'm not charmed. I found the writing childish with too many exclamation marks and didn't find things as funny as the author obviously did at times. I like the first 100 pages the best because of the numerous new things I learned, but the for the rest of the book I mostly just wished it would be over already. It's supposed to be fun and engaging and probably is to most people - to me it just fell a bit flat.

I absolutely loved this! I learned so much about my own body it鈥檚 crazy!

I am pretty sure I have been raving about this book to my friends and family so much they could probably say they have read it as well haha

I had to share everything I learned since it feels so crucial we all are informed about what goes on inside us. All the bacteria, all the processes are fascinating and I ended up watching a lot of videos on YouTube about this (some were quite disgusting I have to admit 馃檲)


Highly highly hiiiiighly recommend this to pretty much any human being out there (maybe even to cats haha as there is a chapter relevant to them as well)

DNF at 80%. I'm over the gut.

I really, really enjoy science books, especially anything having to do with medicine/the body. That make sense, of course, seeing as I have a degree in a medical field, but I really can't get enough of learning about the human body.

However, after listening to 's , which I enjoyed very much, I thought I was ready for another round of intestinal delight. I was partly right.

What Mary Roach does is she breaks up a never-ending stream of facts into a story-line, of sorts. That wasn't really done here. While I found the information interesting in , I missed the personal anecdotes and stories from "Gulp," which has very similar subject matter. Also, while the narrator of "Gut" was pretty good, she didn't hold a candle to the narrator of "Gulp."

I still liked learning about the alimentary canal and intestinal tract, and I still bored my family to death with random gut facts, but it got to be a little... drab for me.

Time for me to move on to another body part.

This is a jaunty, easily digestible pr茅cis of intestinal biology, an enterological cornucopia of facts and figures and buttock-clenching anecdotes. Expect a lot of often fascinating talk about poo and farting, rather like a Monty Python sketch without the punchlines, as well as layman's introductions to the latest research into probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics, the human biome, and the mysterious relationship between your gut and your brain. I learned a lot. I also made several strategic alterations to my diet, so it clearly connected on that level.

The author, Giulia Enders, is still studying for her PhD, and the book came about after a TED-style talk she gave at a Science Slam event went viral in 2012; if you understand German, you can watch it (she's so young!). She writes about her subject with a smile on her face, fending off embarrassment with a no-nonsense, almost mumsy joviality, leavened with a few judicious euphemisms. It's all rendered into perfect colloquial English thanks to David Shaw's translation, which, at least in this edition, is refreshingly British in idiom. I'm not sure how it compares to Mary Roach's , which I haven't read, but if you're interested in what you eat, how your body works, or just want to binge on some high-fibre factoids, Gut is a solid pop-science choice.

This book gives us a warm and friendly journey through the gut. Written in easy terms for the layman, and generously illustrated by the author's sister, this is a very accessible description of the journey of food through our bodies, and the critters it meets on the way down.

Giulia Enders is a doctoral student, and she wrote the book in response to a friend wanting to know more about the gut. To do this she did a lot of research, as is shown in the bibliography at the end. Regarding the bibliography, she notes that the books and papers cited cover issues not found in standard medical textbooks. To be honest, I found some of her ideas a little wacky, or to put it another way, she gives equal weighting to all the ideas she puts forward. I felt that someone with more experience in the field might have been a bit more discriminating, or created more of a hierarchy of solutions. Enders sort of throws open the doors and leaves us to pick and choose.

I may be so wrong in saying the above. Her book has had fantastic reviews from most of the major newspapers - and I certainly learnt a lot from it. Plus I enjoyed reading it - and given the subject matter that is quite an achievement.

One final whinge. There was no index. I think that was a real oversight.

I end with a sprinkling of notes - mostly taken directly from the book - purely for my own record.

Lots of useful and interesting info that I found got buried in the wacky non-stop-not-that-funny comedy style (it's translated but I assume this must be true to the original) plus children's book type illustrations that basically fail to convey anything except wackiness. Basically a book marketed to adults, with serious content about biology and physiology and research, but styled for 8-12s. I got irritated. Like bowels.

3.5 stars.

In the year or so I have had a fascination with my own gut, after my doctor surmised that my stomach problems were because I have IBS. Since then I have read countless articles and watched countless videos on the subject, in an attempt to help me manage my gut and its problems better. So naturally, when Gut by Giulia Enders was released, I had to get it and read up on the subject from a more scientific point of view.

This book was a truly fascinating read, and I learned a lot of things that I didn't know before. Unfortunately, I didn't have the foresight to keep a notebook and pen beside me while reading, because I would have liked to have had a list next to me that I could go back through again in more detail. However, some of the things I learned were why antibiotics are only a good thing in the most extreme cases, why not all creatures can vomit and why it's a good thing we can, how babies born naturally as opposed to with a caesarean section are better protected with bacteria in their early months, and how it's not actually probiotics that will do our guts the best but prebiotics.

There were definitely sections of this book that interested me more than others, such as sections on allergies and intolerances, vomiting (despite my fear of the subject), and how the brain and the gut are a lot more linked than we might have previously thought. However, particularly with the latter section, I would have loved to have seen a bit more information as I felt they were way too short in comparison to other sections. I also wish there had been more of a focus on issues such as IBS, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease - although all three were mentioned, I was hoping for a bit more information on what causes them, and what can be done to manage their symptoms.

I enjoyed Enders writing style for the most part - she manages to balance some of the more fact-heavy sections with light-hearted humour which was nice (particularly for someone who is relatively new to popular science). However, there were times where I found the constant jokes less funny - she uses a lot of metaphors throughout the book to illustrate her point, but they did seem at times more for comedic value than to help further clarify her points, and a lot of them I could have really done without. I did however like the pictures that accompanied the text, drawn by her graphic designer sister Jill Enders, and they were actually very helpful at seeing certain elements of Enders text more clearly - for example, in how our food travels through our body.

Overall this was a fun and very entertaining read, and I did learn a lot from it. Although there were things I would have changed and gone into more depth about, this is probably a really great starting point for science n00bs like me, who want to know more about our own body and its role in our everyday lives.

On a short subchapter on Probiotics, the author wrote that 鈥淧eople have been eating probiotic bacteria since time memorial. Without them, we would not exist. A group of South Americans had to learn this through bitter experience: they had the clever idea of taking pregnant women to the South Pole to have then babies. The plan was that the babies born there could stake a claim to any oil future reserves, as 'natives鈥� of the region. But the babies did not survive. They died soon after birth, or on the way back to South America. The South Pole is so cold and germ-free that the infants simply did not receive the bacteria they needed so survive. The normal temperatures and bacteria the babies encountered after leaving the Antarctic were enough to kill them.鈥�

That鈥檚 interesting, I thought, and immediately had to read up on this. I have to admit that I can find nothing about babies not surviving after Antarctic births. I am not sure that this is a fact. A look on the www has come up with nothing concerning this other than there have been at least 11 births and I can find nothing to show that they all died. Emilio Marcos Des Palma Morella, the first documented human born on the Antarctic mainland in 1978 is still alive from what I can ascertain.

If I am going to question this book, I might add a couple of other things I have struggled with, and that is the line drawings that are pointless and childlike and a lack of index.

Other than that, this is, to be fair, a good read that has enhanced my understanding of our gut. After reading a book on ultra processed food, I am even more determined that I will treat my stomach and all the other gut organs with the respect it deserves. My copy is the first print run, so I read that some of the information has been updated (babies born in the Antarctic?) in later editions. The author makes it clear that a lot of what is discussed is in its infancy, so that is understandable.

As far a popular pop style science goes, there is a lot going for this very easy to read book for anyone such as myself who is not that good at taking the sciences of any type into their brain due to it all being very complex. Simple explanations such as this book provides are ideal.

Da ljudi makar ne拧to vole onoliko koliko D啪ulija Enders voli gastroenterologiju, ovaj svet bi procvetao! Sve 拧to ste 啪eleli da saznate o digestivnom traktu, a niste imali koga da pitate, nalazi se ovde. A uz mnogo zanimljivosti, kao i korisnih i pouzdanih medicinskih preporuka, nalazi se i neobi膷na lekcija lepote jer, 拧to se vi拧e pribli啪imo svojim unutra拧njim organima, oni postaju vredniji i uzbudljiviji. Unutra拧nja lepota ovde bi sasvim komotno mogla pro膰i kao konkretizovana metafora.

艩to se sveprisutnog autorkinog po拧alnog tona ti膷e, on mo啪e nekim snebivljicima i nam膰orima biti iritantan, ali meni je prijao i mislim da je svrsishodan. Jer kako druk膷ije? Pisati smrtno ozbiljnu nau膷nopopularnu knjigu o crevima mo啪e izazvati sasvim suprotan efekat od 啪eljenog. A o tome kako ni拧ta nije naivno, svedo膷i i solidan spisak nau膷nih referenci, uz pomo膰u kojih se tvrdnje u knjizi mogu proveriti.

Ono 拧to me iznova inspiri拧e i 拧to je glavni razlog za拧to sam 膷italac ove knjige jeste svet mikrobiote. Zaboravlja se kako ljudi nisu samo oni koji 啪ive u stani拧tu, nego i oni koji su stani拧te po sebi. I ne samo to: u ljudskom telu brojniji su mikroorganizmi od ljudskih 膰elija! A mnogi bi se zapanjili da znaju da je za nas vi拧e od 95% bakterija potpuno bezazleno (234), kao i da je za zdrav organizam neophodan i susret sa 拧kodljivim bakterijama, da bi telo bilo 'u pripravnosti'. Sve je u ravnote啪i. Na neki na膷in, vi拧e smo ono 拧to nismo, odnosno, predstavljamo uvek mno拧tvo, druk膷ije ne bismo ni mogli opstati. Autorka mnoge stranice posve膰uje ovom pitanju, ali i onome 拧to bi nekome odmah palo na um kad je varenje u pitanju: kako funkcioni拧e jetra, 拧ta je (zapravo) holesterol, kako se hrana kre膰e kroz organizam, za拧to (ne) piti antibiotike...

U moru zanimljivosti, izdvajam samo nekoliko:

Snovi su uvek bez mirisa. (224)
Pljuva膷ka je filtrirana krv. Tako膽e, u pljuva膷ki se nalazi i opiorfin, sredstvo protiv bolova ja膷e i od morfijuma, otkriveno tek 2006. godine. (30)
Toksoplazmoza mo啪e da uti膷e na nastanak 拧izofrenije! (225)
艩to je u nekoj zemlji vi拧i higijenski standard, tamo je vi拧e alergija i autoimunih bolesti. (234)
膶im ascidija prona膽e zgodno mesto gde mo啪e da se nastani, ona se prika膷i na tu povr拧inu i izjeda svoj mozak. (130)

Ir a拧 寞拧okau 寞 besidomin膷i懦j懦 拧奴dais traukin寞! Buvo labai malonus skaitymas, tarsi susitaikymas su savo 拧奴dais. Paprastai sakai tai perkeltine prasme, kaip visokias vidines, dvasines negeroves, o 膷ia - tiesiogine.

Knygoj pilna visko - ne tik 拧奴d懦, bet ir apra拧ym懦 apie vir拧kinimo proces膮, apskritai gyvenim膮 (mityb膮, alergijas, net kates). Dabar daug geriau suprantu meil臋 bakterijoms.

Gastroenterologija je moja neo膷ekivana ljubav - od samog po膷etka studija (a i do dana dana拧njeg), ne volim kad ljudi pri膽u na 啪urkama sa 鈥濧 da, ti be拧e studira拧 medicinu, pa 拧ta bi da specijalizira拧?鈥� (ma otkud znam, kad ni pritisak nisam umela da izmerim kako valja) pa procedim 鈥濭astroenterologiju鈥� i to je to, kraj razgovora, nema razne啪enih pogleda i pohvalnih komentara kao da sam rekla recimo ginekologiju, pedijatriju, kardiologiju... nego se razi膽emo kud koji mili moji, a ja mogu da nastavim da pijem sok i o膷ijukam sa nekim mi拧i膰avim nepoznanikom koji me avaj, uop拧te ne registruje.

Par godina kasnije, ispada da je to oblast koja me je potpuno o膷arala i emocionalno privezala za sebe (u bli啪oj okolini imam slu膷ajeva raka kolona, pankreasa, 膷ira na 啪elucu, iritabilnog kolona na izvol鈥檛e). A i korisno je, diskusije o digestivnom traktu samo tako rasteraju narod po redovima koji su nam sada拧nja svakodnevica, kao ju膷e pred sladoledarnicom u gradu, sorry kids.

Autorka knjige i njena sestra (koja je ilustrator) nam nude jedno izuzetno interesantno putovanje, od usta do anusa, za膷injeno pomalo smotanim 拧treberskim humorom koji najvolijem. Nije potrebno nikakvo predznanje o materiji, nau膷ni termini su odlicno pojednostavljeni i obja拧njeni tako da 膰e neki delovi biti zanimljivi i klincima. Poslednja tre膰ina knjige se bavi mikrobiotom koji je all the rage poslednjih godina, i koji je jedna od tema o kojima moja baba najvi拧e voli da diskutuje sa mnom, pa onda obja拧njava mom ocu kako njen vi拧ak kilograma dolazi od toga 拧to nema dobre bakterije u debelom crevu, nego lo拧e, a ma膷ku o rep to 拧to u kola膷e bez kojih ne mo啪e da zamisli dan idu (po dokazanoj srema膷koj recepturi) bar kilo putera i desetak jaja. Da se vidi da doma膰ica nije 拧tedela.

Stoga, iskrena preporuka za ovu knjigu ako vas zanima tema (a sigurno vas zanima, samo se krijete da nije tako!)

Neat little owner's manual for your digestive system, straightforward, humorous, and jargon-free. Complex ideas are presented as simply as possible, to reach as broad an audience as possible. It also included a lot of information I hadn't known, either because it was new, or because I hadn't been paying attention.
