Gastrointestinal or gut problems–diarrhea, nausea, indigestion, gas, loss of appetite–are very common for people with HIV, with consequences ranging from temporary to very serious. This booklet takes you through the common causes: HIV meds, other meds or supplements, the effects of HIV itself, your diet, psychological triggers, or other health problems (such as parasites). It then sorts through some of the most used treatments, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, prescription meds, changing your diet.

Some of the many good points about this booklet: the “When to Call Your Doctor” sections, the personal stories, the “Doctor’s Notes,” and the dietary tips and supplement recommendations.
