Irritable Bowel Syndrome

This excellent book is based on the experience of the authors, both as patients and as health specialists. It provides a way of navigating towards recovery, with sections on living and managing life, diagnosis, medical treatments, nutritional treatments, psychological and behavioural approaches, self-help strategies and some guidance for friends and family. It also situates the issue within current directions for research. It is evident that the authors are uniquely qualified in this area, which they characterise as a biopsychosocial disorder, making it harder to treat in individual cases. A highly instructive and helpful guide.
