This book is a must read if you have or suspect you may have IBD. I am currently in the process of being diagnosed for my GI symptoms. I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate having an outline of the kinds of tests I may have to undergo. However, the most useful section by far is regarding diet: she provides sample meal plans for various levels of flare-ups and elucidates what you can safely eat with GI inflammation. If you’ve ever suffered from GI problems, you know how impossible it can feel to identify what you can and can’t eat, so this chapter was a godsend!

Definitely not my usual read. However, facing a diagnosis for a son I needed to gather information quickly and efficiently. This book explained things clearly and helped me understand what to expect when we went to see the gastrointerologist. My only complaint is that it is six years old and medical books can be out of date so quickly. I hope it is updated soon.

This book is good for parents of children with IBD. However, for people like me I new most of the information but I did learn some new things. I would recommend it to anyone suffering from IBD.

Read for information on my lunch hour, after it had sat on my shelf for 3 weeks. It is a good overview for people who want to understand more about what Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis is or isn't.
