Product Description
Traditional medicine offers no cure for the extremely common irritable bowel syndrome. Author Rosemary Nicol shows how it can be dealt with by addressing the causes: diet and stress. In Irritable Bowel Syndrome, she analyzes the factors that may precipitate the syndrome and helps readers find creative solutions through dietary alternatives and methods for controlling stress.

This really is the only book for IBS sufferers who don't want to take pills and potions. Very well written with chapters in small chunks. Can dip in and out of the book and use it as a reference when you need it. As the author is not a doctor it is written very sensitively and in a tone and manner which everyone can understand. Has lots of tips and helpful solutions. Above all it helps you to understand IBS, how to live with it and manage it and not to be embarrassed about it.

So thankful for this book
27 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
This book has given me hope that there is relief from my IBS. It explains this condition in a way anyone can understand. I discovered things that might be contributing to my symptoms that I had no idea were even remotely related to IBS. It gives a comprehensive overview of the many treatments available, focusing on the natural and homeopathic. I have begun implementing many of the dietary and lifestyle changes covered in this book and look forward to feeling better. I am already feeling better, knowing that I am taking a proactive role in regards to my health. This book has given me the motivation and knowledge to take control of my own health and life again.

Outstanding; the ideal treatment of a sensitive subject
31 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
No need to feel embarrassed: everybody suffers from IBS from time to time. I was looking for a book that would offer more than a study guide to the digestive system combined with an encyclopedia on dietary measures, and I wound up more pleased than ever! Author Rosemary Nicol's diverse handling of everything from symptoms (both physical and emotional) of IBS and similar ailments, to stress management, antidotes and diet is absolutely impressive.
I'm not sure what her background is, but Ms. Nicol's writing exhibits thoughtful, intelligent and especially sensitive insight in discussing IBS from the perspectives of biology, psychology, and personality. Then, she elaborates on a range of antidotes too numerous to detail in this space. The one thing that will forever stand out in my mind after reading this book is the absolutely outstanding sensitivity with which the author discusses the psychological and emotional aspects linked to IBS. Her writing is simple and personable, and she doesn't talk down to the reader by throwing in tons of technical terms. The section on diet is very good, but the greatest comfort comes from someone who knows how you feel, and who looks at every angle imaginable in helping you find solutions to this bothersome condition. I give this my highest recommendation.

Decent basic overview of irritable bowel syndrome
27 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a physician who suffers from diarrhea-predominant IBS, I am interested in pursuing alternative therapies. I have done acupunture, Chinese herbs and rolfing in addition to dietary restriction, two rounds of Xifaxan, and meditation. I found the book interesting reading but believe that some of the information is outdated or incorrect especially in reference to suggested diets. I did like that the author discussed several alternative therapies for the treatment of IBS. I suffer from certain food sensitivities/intolerances which is also addressed in the book.
