Format:Paperback
I was recently diagnosed as having Crohn's disease. In many ways it was a relief to get a diagnosis after struggling with the symptoms for a fair while (I had been fobbed off, as many have, by doctors telling me I had IBS - Professor John Hunter's excellent book on IBS helped me to identify that it definitely wasn't that and gave me the knowledge to fight for the tests to get a proper diagnosis) but then the fun of trying to get it under control begins.
I have a very nice gastro-enterologist but his clinics are always packed and the time isn't there for him to sit down and give me in depth explanations or to go through every option for treatment. It is often a case of go in, list how my symptoms are going and he evaluates what he thinks is the best way to go with treatment.
This wasn't enough for me though. I felt that the more knowledge the better and I was sure that there were lifestyle changes I could make to improve on my condition that would help lessen the need for steroids and other intensive treatments.
I have found that this book is easy to read, easy to understand and packed with all the information I could hope for. It goes through what is known about the condition and the treatments available in great depth. I was greatly relived to find that dietary measures could have a great impact and there is comprehensive information on how to go about implementing these measures.
It is a book that supplements the information given by your consultant, filling in any gaps and either reassuring or pointing out when further discussions are needed. It explains the drugs you are on and why you are on them. It explains any tests you may need and why certain decisions may be made.
It has been exceedingly helpful for me and I would recommend it to anyone who has been diagnosed with IBD and is looking to widen their knowledge on what it is all about and what they can do about it. I feel equipped to tackle my condition and can be much more proactive in my treatment, I will certainly be discussing it with my gastroenterologist when I next see him.

Format:Paperback
I have had Crohns Dease for 11years & this is by far the most informative book on the subject that I have read. It is written by somebody who not only knows what he is talking about but, also understands how to put it over so that anybody who suffers from the dease can understand what he means. I would recomend it to both suffers & the medical profession.

This is an excellent book on the subject. It is clear concise and in everyday language. Gives very good advice to all sufferers, and has been of immense help to my wife who has the complaint.
