Living with IBS
The problem of IBS often extends far beyond its symptoms. It can impact every area of ones life, an issue that can be missed by many healthcare providers. I am pleased to say that this issue is not missed in the book you hold in your hands. Rather, Drs Ferreira and Gillanders have produced something that specifically aims to help people suffering from IBS achieve a life that is less restricted by IBS; a life that also has meaning, vitality and quality. I have no doubt that the approach in this book will allow better living with IBS.
Kevin E. Vowles, PhD, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, The Haywood Hospital
This is a very worthwhile book for people who suffer from the unpleasant symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Once the reader has been given an overview to this condition they are introduced to a range of workable ways to deal with it. Packed with practical exercises and scenarios, Better Living with IBS helps people to live the way that they want, potentially improving their overall quality of life. I would highly recommend this easily accessed text to anyone with IBS and to all health professions who deal with this complex chronic condition.
