Dear Health Alerts Reader:

Remember when standard advice for many digestive disorders was a bland diet? Recent advances have led to radically improved treatments for people who suffer from conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract.

The encouraging news is that the symptoms of digestive disorders can be alleviated, and often completely eliminated, with the right combination of medication, dietary changes, exercise, weight loss, stress reduction, and surgery.

It's all detailed in an important new research report from Johns Hopkins--rated #1 of America's best hospitals for 18 consecutive years by U.S. News & World Report.

You'll find a thorough overview of what the medical field knows about upper and lower digestive tract disorders (including everything from gastroesophageal reflux disease [GERD] to peptic ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome to colorectal polyps) and conditions that affect the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

You will learn how to prevent these diseases and, when symptoms arise, the best ways for you and your doctor to diagnose and treat them.
