Product Description

Product Description

Here, from an author who has lived with the disorder since childhood, is everything the IBS sufferer needs to know about Irritable Bowel Syndrome in order to control the debilitating condition and restore their sense of health and happiness. First published in the USA, this is a comprehensive and sympathetic approach to managing the first vital year following diagnosis. Its easy-to-use daily/weekly/monthly calendar is not only informative about the disorder itself but also provides a life plan for living successfully with IBS, focused on symptom prevention. Unique in both structure and content, the core issues of daily symptom-control are all here together with lifestyle management, how to deal with travel, work concerns, social events, restaurants, holidays as well as IBS research participation. There are innovative stress-management techniques, ideas for coping with issues around friends and family, detailed dietary guidelines and recipes, Internet and support-group resources, plus personal anecdotes and tips from IBS sufferers themselves and special advice for the parents of children with IBS. This practical and effective patient-expert guide is a shortcut to improved health, happiness and confidence for all IBS sufferers within their first year of diagnosis.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you'll need to help you cope with IBS, 12 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Having bought every book I could get my hands on after my IBS was diagnosed after 15 years of illness I can honestly say that this is the only one that worked for me, and really made sense from start to finish. The eating guidelines do differ from all the other books, but if like me you've found that the prevailing advice - based around a high fibre diet - had actually been making the problem worse, then everything will at last make sense when you read this book. (The key is to make sure you eat the right type of fibre - an absolutely crucial distinction I've never seen made elsewhere).
Quite simply, this book has changed my life. Actually, while I believe it is the only book you'll really *need* to help you live with IBS, you can almost make a virtue out of the condition if you get a copy of Van Vorous's cookbook as well, 'Eating for IBS' - really delicious, easy recipes that make sticking to the eating guidelines a pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have IBS, this is essential, 30 Aug 2004
By A Customer
Finally, a book that isn't filled full of doom and gloom and depair for IBS sufferers - the author Heather Van Vorous is herself a sufferer of IBS and her book makes you feel as if there is light at the end of the tunnel.

When I was diagnosed with IBS I wasn't actually told what it was or how to live with it - this book has answered many of the questions that I had, and continues to be of great support to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have IBS, you simply must buy this book, 25 Nov 2006
By Fraser Morgan - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was bought for me just under a year ago. Simply put, it has changed my life.

If you have IBS you simply *must* buy it. If you know someone with IBS, you *must* buy it for them. The five key strategies she outlines for dealing with IBS are absolute gold and are worth paying *whatever* they are charging for this book on their own.

This is not the usual rubbish you've read about IBS, nor is it a miracle cure. Its a dependable, versatile strategy that gives you the ability to change your life.
