Best books to learn IBS & digestive health, in order

Reading in the right order helps: understand the gut-brain connection first, then work through the structured low-FODMAP approach and its crucial reintroduction phase, then build sustainable habits. A dietitian or doctor should guide the process and exclude conditions that mimic IBS.
