SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Understanding Irritable Bowel Syndrome is the first step to beating it. One in six people suffer from IBS, with pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhoea, often accompanied by other, similar symptoms. Although very common, doctors have been unable to find an organic cause, which can make some people feel they must be imagining it. Packed with the stories of real people, and full of practical advice and sources of useful information, Understanding Irritable Bowel Syndrome shows you that although there are no miracle cures, IBS doesn't have to ruin your life.
