Outstanding! Having read numerous books on Probiotics in preparation for my new Film on these “good bugs”, I was extremely impressed with all the great and useful information provided in Dr. Challa’s new book. His experience as a Board Certified Gastroenterologist clearly makes a huge difference in explaining to the reader how important Probiotics are, not only for Gastrointestinal Health but for overall excellent health and well-being. I would highly recommend “Probiotics for Dummies” for anyone wishing to learn about these beneficial bacteria!

I want to send my sincere congratulations to Dr. Challa on this momentous achievement. I understand that Dr. Challa is 1 of only 3 authors in the history of Kansas to author a “Dummies” book by Wiley Publications. So I am thrilled to see a member of my health care advisory council, who I can assure you has had years of practice honing his explanations to those of us without his depth of medical experience, spread his important message to the country at large. I know our nation is way behind the rest of the world in realizing the benefits of probiotics, and I’m glad a Kansan has taken it up on himself to spread the word. Again Congratulations Dr. Challa and I wish you all the best.
