Editorial Reviews for Self Help Way To Treat Colitis and Other IBS Conditions, Second Edition A new edition of the bestselling, groundbreaking work on bowel disorders Thoroughly updated and revised, The Self-Help Way to Treat Colitis and Other IBS Conditions returns with the latest research on the diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. It also includes the practical, effective, do-it-yourself treatments that have made the book a classic of natural health.
Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Gave me my life back!!! Comment: I had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about a year before finding this wonderful book. At that point I was barely able to leave the house due to the awful symptoms of this disease. A week and a half after changing my diet as suggested I was able to go camping with no problems! The changes in diet outlined in this book are easy to try and don't cost extra. Just try it for two weeks, it could make a difference in your life, too. Customer Rating: Summary: Good, bad, and ugly Comment: This is the best, most complete overview of the mechanics of fructose intolerance and how it affects bowel health that I have found in years of reading, but there are disappointing gaps in the author's practical advice, and some downright bizarre statements about weight loss. If you have found that the conventional high-fiber diet for IBS is not helping (or even making your IBS worse), read this book. This may be the key to your problems. Unfortunately, after convincingly establishing that fructose intolerance is at the root of much bowel distress, the author gives only spotty practical advice about what to eat and what to avoid. For example, he repeatedly warns against eating "wheat fiber," but says nothing whatsoever about oat or rice fiber. Are they safer? Just as bad? He mentions "waffle syrup made of corn" several times as a source of fructose. Is he implying that pure maple syrup is safe? Maple syrup is very high in fructose I believe, but anyone reading this book might assume that as long as the syrup is not derived from corn it is harmless. And his weight loss advice is just strange. He rails against ketogenic diets as unhealthy and counterproductive to weight loss, then gives you his version to try! While the bulk of his argument is a revision of the unexamined conventional wisdom on "healthy" eating that he believes is all wrong for IBS sufferers, his weight loss advice is a hodge-podge of exactly the same kind of lazy conventional wisdom. I suspect this reflects the fact that serious bowel disorders (his area of expertise) are more likely to result in weight loss and emaciation than obesity, so his weight loss diet is kind of a careless afterthought. In the end, I recommend this book for its detailed discussion of fructose intolerance and its role in bowel disease, but if you decide to take the low-fructose approach to healing, look for another list of "eat this, avoid that" foods. As for weight loss, any low carb approach will be low fructose. Find the one you can live with. Customer Rating: Summary: This diet works! Comment: I have been taking medication for proctitis for some time now. My symptoms would not go away. I had asked my doctor which foods to avoid and basically he said to avoid anything that doesn't seem to work for me. I finally went on line for some reading material and found this book. After a week on this diet, I started seeing results. I am now symptom free and it has only been 3 weeks. The great thing about this diet is that I don't have to make special recipes. I just have to avoid specific things. It is very easy to follow. Thank you as this book has gave me my life back again. Customer Rating: Summary: Good information Comment: This book provides some good information with some simple options at a cheaper price. I've tried the tips and i already feel better. This book might not be for all, but it's a quick read and worth a try if you're not feeling well. Customer Rating: Summary: if you have bowel disease, you must read this book Comment: I was diagnosed 17 years ago with UC at the age of 21. I've read many books and tried every diet, not to mention been to most types of alternative practitioners, & a slew of western doctors in various states, with no positive results. I recently got this book and for the first time I saw immediate & positive change. This book tells you what to avoid, and WHY. After fighting this disease for many years, I have never felt better. And after reading this book never have I had such a clear understanding of how the body's digestion works, and I certainly have never felt this good in almost 2 decades.
