More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, affects 1 person in every 400 in the UK. Between 6,000 and 12,000 new cases of ulcerative colitis are diagnosed every year, and research shows that the number of people with Crohn's disease has been rising steadily. While there are numerous volumes covering the management of IBD aimed at clinicians and several volumes focusing on either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease for patients, there are few volumes covering the full spectrum of IBD for patients, families and carers. This patient-centred guide covers all aspects of IBD including common symptoms, tests used to make a diagnosis, treatment and overall management of the condition. Providing up-to-date factual information, it is easy to read and allows quick access to key facts and helpful advice. With consideration given to new developments in the understanding and treatment of inflammation of the bowel, including complementary and alternative therapies, this book will help to improve the overall quality of life for all those affected by this chronic disease.

Format:Paperback
It can be very easy to be confused by the info often published on websites and in various books about IBD. As a Crohn's patient and admittedly one who has researched via many channels I highly recommend this book for its useful content and style of writing which unlike others, does not confuse the reader with medical terminology.
Addressing a wide range of issues associated with IBD, Irving and Langmead have together discussed all elements that affect a patient's life. Whether you have recently been diagnosed and need to learn about the basics and think about medication options, or you are unfortunate enough to be further along in disease progression and are considering surgery, this book will take you through the facts (as said in the title!)
Often one problem faced by IBD patients is sharing knowledge about the condition and potential lifestyle restrictions with family, friends and work colleagues. This book is the perfect material for one to read in order to understand how patients go about day-to-day life. Whether support is needed with diet and nutrition, medication (being prompted to remember it!) or just being sympathetic to feeling unwell (and understanding why), the reader will understand more and know how to help a patient who is in their life.
Overall, the book is definitely worth the investment - mine is often in my hand bag or by my side!
