About this work

Description

"IBS is an invisible disease - those who have it battle on pretending nothing is wrong and hiding their potentially embarrassing symptoms. And it isn't life-threatening - so why would anyone take it seriously? Yet it can seriously restrict how we live and work, even making some people housebound for fear of unexpected flare ups. Based on their experience as both patients and health specialists, Dr Arroll and Professor Dancey (co-founder of the IBS Network) provide the latest guidance on causes, diagnosis and treatment, including the hugely significant part played by the 'brain-gut axis' and by the micro-organisms within our large intestines, which are ultimately responsible for many aspects of our health."-- Provided by publisher.
