​
Gottschall, Elaine.  Breaking the Viscious Cycle:  Intestinal Health through Diet.  
My nutritionist friend, Sarah Hobbs, recommended this book to me after a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, and the personal benefits to me have been life altering.  Prior to this, I had been experiencing severe joint pains and digestive issues.  My rheumatologist had prescribed a medication that fully addressed the joint issues, but the side effects were intolerable which included worst-ever-debilitating-headaches, requiring an emergency department visit as a patient.  This diet was not easy to follow, but  the benefits have been worth it and I have not required medications or had to follow up with the rheumatologist since following Sarah and Elaine Gottschall's recommendations.
