DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to all people suffering from digestive problems who are seeking answers but have yet to find one. And to my patients, who have taught me most of what I know and given me the courage to share it with others.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I’d like to thank Kim Pearson for guiding me through the development of this book and making it a reality, Susan Fitzgerald for perfecting it, and Karen Ross for making it presentable. I’d also like to thank the following people for their academic and practical inspiration: Nigel Plummer, PhD, for his wealth of information on the digestive tract and immune function; Kimberly Mathai, MS, RD, for her clinical and academic support; and Raymond and Margaret Suen for creating a reliable institution that helped me develop my treatment skills. Thanks also to Bill Slater for convincing me that I should write a book, Louise Shadduck for setting the example, Dan Poynter for showing me how to publish it, and Cynthia Kupper, RD, RN, and the members of the Gluten Intolerant Group for giving me the opportunity to speak and develop my message.
I’d also like to thank my classmates at Bastyr University, who helped me to become the physician I am today, and my patients for trusting me to help them and for teaching me how to be a better physician.
And of course my wife, Tara, without whom I may have never gotten to the point in life where I could write a book.
