If you only buy one IBS book make it this one 30 Jun 2002

By "42judy"

Format:Paperback

IBS is a very difficult subject as symptoms and causes vary so much. This is by far the best book I have read on the subject.

I disagree with the reader from Missouri, that this covers nothing above the belly button. My most obvious and troublesome symptoms are nausea, wind and reflux: this is the first book I have found which gives specific dietary guidelines for different symptoms, including prevention of gas and reflux. Because the dietary advice is specific to the symptoms it gives added confidence to resist people who try to insist you eat / drink inappropriate things, reducing the stress involved.

The advice is sensible, practical and covers the different aspects of the problem expertly. If you only buy one IBS book make it this one. If I had bought this first I'd have saved a lot of time and money.

A life changing book for IBS sufferers! 22 Jun 2001

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Since I have followed up the, very clear and concise, tips in this book, my life has changed beyond recognition! I used to suffer so much every day, even though I stuck to a healthy, low fat diet. This book made me realize what I was doing wrong (e.g. eating lots of salads). I avoid most trigger foods now, eat a high fibre, healthy diet with lots of fruit and (cooked!) vegetables, drink lots of water and excercise most days. I sometimes listen to my relaxing tape, when I feel a little stressed. Since using this book, I feel a new, happy person, who does not need any medication to cope with my day. Get this book now, if you are serious about doing something to relieve your IBS!!

Ease of use 30 Mar 2005

By "nemo007"

Format:Paperback

I've suffered from IBS for about 3.5 years now, and went through a lot of exams (some of them painfull and unpleasant) to finally have no real answers to my questions. I didn't know what IBS was and unfortunately didn't find the proper doctor to explain it to me, and more importantly what I had to do to get rid of my problems. By reading some of the reviews on this book I relized this is what I needed.

This is a very comprehensive guide and easy to use. There is no secret magical treatment described in it, but commun sense and logical healthy food and diet recommendations. I'm still going through the exrcices and follow the diets, and it's already going better. Patience is the key to this disorder, however, this book will make it easier.

By reading this, I actualy realized I was eating wrong since more than 2 years and that might be the cause of the problem.

I strongly advise you to purchase this book if you suffer from bloating, abdominal pains, gas, etc and you don't know what to do anymore. A great discovery, thx...

Good coverage of the South but not so for the upper G.I.

The book covers many of the lower gastrointestinal symptoms that go with IBS, however, it does not cover the upper gastrointestinal symptoms like dyspepsia. Read more
