Gut Code

For many Indians, a normal medical report often exists alongside daily digestive discomfort such as acidity after meals, bloating that ruins evenings, irregular bowel habits and constant fatigue. This book addresses that common but overlooked problem with practical, Indian rooted science drawn from real clinics and kitchens. Gastroenterologist Dr Suraj and Registered Dietitian Megha bring together years of experience to explain how the gut influences mood, immunity, hormones and long-term health. Through clear explanations and relatable cases, they show how refined foods, excess sugar, late dinners, screen filled nights and long hours of sitting slowly weaken the gut barrier and its protective microbes. Rather than promoting short lived trends, the authors guide readers through simple, doable changes in food, timing, movement and breathing. With familiar Indian staples such as dal, curd, fermented batters, millets, vegetables, fish and ghee at the centre, this book helps readers rebuild trust in food and in their gut, step by step.
