Irritable Bowel Syndrome Book Reviews

A review of the book 'The Sensitive Gut', a Harvard Medical School Publication that covers digestive problems such as dyspepsia, reflux disease, and irritable bowel syndrome.

In her second book on irritable bowel syndrome, entitled 'The First Year: IBS' Heather Van Vorous takes new patients through their first year after a diagnosis of IBS.

A review of 'Breaking the Bonds of IBS', a book by Barbara Bradley Bolen, Ph.D. that seeks to help patients manage their symptoms.

Have you ever been frustrated in trying to discover which foods are setting off your IBS symptoms? Read my review of Eating For IBS and learn if it can help you.

In his new book, Chief of Digestive Diseases at UCLA Dr. Gary Gitnick advocates using lifestyle changes to combat digestive disorders such as heartburn, gas, bloating and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Throughout the book, he uses real-life examples from his medical practice to make his points.

This is a book that can truly help the newly diagnosed IBS patient find some order in a time filled with uncertainty and chaos.

The author, who has IBS, has written a book about how IBS patients can eat, including recipes, and detailed cooking guidelines.

This book touches on concepts not normally covered such as meal portions, body mass index (BMI), and how much fiber to eat. A good choice as a general 'how to' manual and troubleshooting guide for the digestive tract.

A good overall reference book on common gastrointestinal problems from a trusted source. However this book will not provide all the knowledge people with chronic disease or acute IBS need to achieve better health.
