Best-selling author Mary Roach returns with a new adventure to the invisible realm we carry around inside. Roach takes us down the hatch on an unforgettable tour. The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: The questions explored in Gulp are as taboo, in their way, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn’t the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts?

Definitely a surprise

This was a book group book for me - not one I would have ever chosen on my own. I’m not sure why the ladies thought it would be so good, but it improves as I went sing. I can definitely say I learned many new things from this book. Who knew there were fecal transplants? Or that Elvis died from an impacted colon after a lifetime battle with constipation?
The book made me far more appreciative if my good digestive health and far more mindful of how I treat my body. This turned out to be a very interesting book after all.
