The First Year - IBS by Heather Van Vorous

Editorial Reviews about The First Year - IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome): An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed:
Heather Van Vorous has had IBS for over two decades; she endured the condition for six years as a child before even being diagnosed. Over many years she has educated herself on every aspect of this chronic condition - by listening to her own body, gradually modifying her diet, reading medical and scientific books and journals, talking with doctors, exploring stress management and alternative health therapies, and using the Internet to communicate daily with other people who have IBS. Now, as a "patient-expert," she guides all those newly diagnosed step-by-step through their first year with IBS. In a unique format, The First Year - IBS walks you through everything you need to learn and do each day of your first week after diagnosis, each subsequent week of the first month, and the following eleven months of the crucial first year. In clear, concise, accessible language, Van Vorous covers a wide range of practical, medical, and lifestyle issues, beginning with coming to terms with the diagnosis and then moving on to subjects including:

• Key strategies for symptom prevention
• Guidelines, tips, and recipes for understanding and modifying your diet
• Stress management and exercise
• Dealing with family, friends, and co-workers
• Current medical research and medications
• Restaurants and holidays
• Effective alternative therapies
• Traveling and socializing
• Support group resources

By providing reliable, useful, empathetic, and up-to-date information you need to know when you most need to know it, The First Year - IBS will be an indispensable book for everyone seeking to control their IBS and regain their health and happiness.

Customers Reviews and Testimonials:

Comment: Having just been diagnosed with IBS, but realizing I've had it for some time, I ordered this book and found it to be extremely helpful. It reviews Dr. Michael Mahoney's hypnothearpy CDs which I bought and have found to be just the ticket. I would heartily reccomend this book for anyone with IBS.

Comment: This is a great book. As someone who was recently diagnosed with IBS and whose doctor didn't tell me much, this helped answer all of my questions.

Comment: EASY TO READ, VERY HELPFUL, 10 STARS! I have IBS and this and the author's other book "EATING FOR IBS" has saved my life in more ways than one! GREAT ADVICE from a fellow sufferer! A must-have for the patient(s) and doctors who help them! I believe that Heather Van Vorous has 'walked the walk' and, therefore, can 'talk the talk' about Irritable Bowel Syndrome!
I would like to say 'thank you' to her for writing this new book!
