Format:Paperback
First, let me declare an interest - I am a long-time sufferer of ulcerative colitis and one of the front-of-chapter quotes in this book is mine and I'd already discovered the benefits of a probiotic diet for myself. However, I recommend Peter Cartwright's book to anyone with an interest in learning more about the subject. Using fascinating examples from world-wide scientific research into the subject, Cartwright discusses clearly and unambiguously the cases for and against the use of probiotics. He also explains the different types of probiotic available to the consumer and describes what food to eat to help maximise their effectiveness (these foods are know as prebiotics).
There are no 'miracle cure' claims in this factual account but if your bowels sometimes feel like a warzone then at least you will learn how to send in some 'friendly' reinforcements to help win the battle.

At last I have found a book that explains clearly and simply about advances in the treatment of Crohn's and colitis. The book is written in an informal way yet clearly states the research basis supporting its contents. There are no false claims - just an honest assessment of the current state of knowledge about probiotics. This has helped me understand how probiotics work and opened my eyes to the potential of prebiotics. An excellent information source for non-medical people.

Medical opinion is divided on the medical benefits of Probiotics as a treatment for IBD. I believe Peter Cartwright’s book tips the balance in favour and unlocks the mystery surrounding intestinal bacteria and probiotics in a way that gives us, the IBD sufferers, confidence and encouragement to go on taking the ‘medicine’. He presents the case in a clear and concise way that even those of us with little or no medical knowhow can understand. At the end of the day ‘the proof of the pudding is in the eating’, as we say in Britain, and with the use of testimonials throughout, Peter Cartwright demonstrates the benefits that many have obtained from the use of probiotics. They have worked for me, ensuring that I have not had to repeat the strong courses of antibiotics I had to take in the months following my last operation. They may not work for everyone, but what have you got to lose. Buy the book, read up on the evidence, start taking the ‘medicine’, it may improve your life.
