Gardy, Jennifer,

Introduction : the wonderful world of guts -- Where it all begins : the mouth -- The food tube : your esophagus -- Enzymes and acid and mucus, oh my! : inside the stomach -- When what should go down comes up again : the science of barfs and burps -- Destination digestion : the not-so-small intestine (and friends) -- Meet your microbiome : the trillions of tiny tenants helping you poop -- Peristalsis and poop : the large intestine -- The end : really.
