There are many different forms of treatment that can lead to long remissions, but no immediate cure exists. This invaluable guide helps sufferers diagnose their disease correctly and formulate the best treatment to keep symptoms under control so they can lead full lives. With the aid of self-assessment exercises and the latest medical research, readers will discover what their condition is and how severe it is, the different drug treatments available, when to consider surgery, and how to control symptoms using diet and lifestyle. With clear, accessible information and effective guidance on treatment, this guide will help sufferers manage symptoms and take control of their condition.

    I absolutely loved this book. I found the information it provided to be written in such an easy and comprehensible way without compromising the detail. I liked how the book was selected and how you could easily distinguish between what applied to everyone with inflammatory bowel disease and what was specific to either ulcerative colitis or chron's disease. I very informative read which I would highly recommend to anyone that wishes to learn more about this disease.
