Book Reviews of The First Year: IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)--An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed
Book Review: A great place to start !
Summary: 5 Stars
I was diagnosed with IBS, but never really got any guidance from the local 'specialists' on what to do about it - I couldn't ever get more than a 5-minute discussion with a doctor on the subject.
This book does a great job of explaining what IBS is, and what to do about it. It might not be the most detailed or technical book on the market, but it at least got me to the point where I understood what to do. I followed some of the recommendations of this book (especially moving to a low-fat diet), and it has worked wonders.
STRONGLY recommended if you have IBS and just aren't sure where to start.

Summary of The First Year: IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)--An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed
Heather Van Vorous has had IBS for over two decades; she endured the condition for six years as a child before even being diagnosed. Over many years she has educated herself on every aspect of this chronic condition?by listening to her own body, gradually modifying her diet, reading medical and scientific books and journals, talking with doctors, exploring stress management and alternative health therapies, and using the Internet to communicate daily with other people who have IBS. Now, as a "patient-expert," she guides all those newly diagnosed step-by-step through their first year with IBS. In a unique format, The First Year??IBS walks you through everything you need to learn and do each day of your first week after diagnosis, each subsequent week of the first month, and the following eleven months of the crucial first year. In clear, concise, accessible language, Van Vorous covers a wide range of practical, medical, and lifestyle issues, beginning with coming to terms with the diagnosis and then moving on to subjects including:? Key strategies for symptom prevention
? Guidelines, tips, and recipes for understanding and modifying your diet
? Stress management and exercise
? Dealing with family, friends, and co-workers
? Current medical research and medications
? Restaurants and holidays
? Effective alternative therapies
? Traveling and socializing
? Support group resources
By providing reliable, useful, empathetic, and up-to-date information you need to know when you most need to know it, The First Year??IBS will be an indispensable book for everyone seeking to control their IBS and regain their health and happiness.
