have IBS or want more information on it. Irritable bowel syndrome is a common
disorder of the gastrointestinal tract in which abdominal pain is associated
with changes in bowel habits. I Have IBS
. . . Now What? was written by Dr. Ashkan Farhadi, a medical doctor and the
Director of the Digestive Disease Center at Memorial Care Medical Group in
Southern California, and board certified in gastroenterology.
He’s taken questions
asked by real patients and collected them in this guide, along with simple,
easy to understand answers. The book is
in a question and answer format, which makes it easy to find your particular
question first. Then, move on to other questions or just browse the book for
information on the causes and nature of IBS; symptoms; identifying the disease
(diagnosis); treatments, including alternative ones; foods and IBS, including
the “Dynamic Diet,” and more. Other specialists in the field have contributed
to the book, answering questions along with Dr. Farhadi, giving their input and
expertise. Highly recommended for people with IBS who have questions, or want
to help someone else who has IBS. A book like this may offer answers to
questions you didn’t realize you had. That’s what makes it an indispensable
guide and will make you an effective part of your management team if you have
IBS.
