 reprinted with a few minor revisions reflecting new research which have been included in this site. If you already have received or downloaded a printed copy of the first edition (with a white cover), an addenda is downloadable from the bottom of the order page containing the new additions - but you may download the second edition now if you prefer. Can you help? It is possible that a new edition may be produced summer 2019. If so, it will have a Recommended Retail Price so that it may be sold in shops and on Amazon, though I hope those who really need it could still get a free copy. A new edition would not be substantially any different to the current one but carry some more recent research links. If you think anything may need changing or adding to the book, please email me with your suggestions using chris@chrisrob.co.uk. Please include links to any supporting relevant research. Contributions and suggestions are particularly welcome from consultant gastroenterologists and surgeons. Meanwhile, some possible material that my be used in updating a future edition may be found in the addenda. This book is FREE as a download, as is this website. (There are too many snake-oil charlatans.) Printed copies are now available.
