Description

The only book you need to understand and manage your IBS. IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) impacts 1 in 10 people, and it can make day-to-day life miserable. People with IBS often struggle to get symptoms under control and advice from health professionals can be misleading, conflicting or worryingly brief and basic. This book answers their call. Consultant dietitian Kirsten Jackson uses a winning combination of proven up-to-date science, clinical practice and personal experience to guide you through your personal symptoms and show you how to take control. From explaining the low-FODMAP diet (and the pros and cons), offering strategies to building your gut microbiome back up, and looking at other possible issues - such as SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and histamine intolerance (often confused with IBS) - this book challenges some outdated approaches to give readers a clear pathway to diagnose issues and bring comfort and a reduction in symptoms and flare-ups. Find out what tests you need, how to figure out your particular problems, and hear from other IBS sufferers who have managed their symptoms and found relief. This is the must-read, road-tested, accessible and practical guide that will show you what you can do to positively improve your quality of life.
