Abstract
The main Polish migrations to Britain were in the 1940s and many families have retained a traditional diet. People of Polish origin living in Nottingham were interviewed and the frequency of gastrointestinal disease assessed. Gallstones were less common in English people and Polish migrants than in Poland. Appendicitis and haemorrhoids were commoner in Polish migrants that amongst people in Poland.
