Description
Many people, particularly those between the ages of twenty and thirty suffer from IBS yet very few are correctly diagnosed or even bother to visit a doctor. IBS can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation and other painful and potentially embarrassing problems. Dr Dan Rutherford describes how the digestive system works, the symptoms of IBS and the probable causes. He goes on to detail the treatments currently available ranging from drugs to complimentary therapy and new developments in treatment. IBS can last for many years and so this book also suggests options for the long-term management of the condition and how to live with it from day-to-day.
