Lifesaver!! Lifechanging!!! by Ultimate Jordan (New York) 5 Stars
January 06, 2009
When no other doctor could figure out my IBS problems Dr. Christine Frissora was the genius who helped me overcome my IBS illness. For about 2 years I was battling GI issues that had me bed ridden for 2 months and out of work for 6 months. You can imagine my struggles throughout the year. To put it modestly, my life was taken away. 2 year prior I was extremely active playing every sport you can imagine 7 days a week. Then at age 26 I was hindered, handicapped and hampered by something over 50 doctors could not figure out. I am now 28. This book helped my way back to normalizing my digestive system. Within 2 weeks you will notice a difference. The right diet is crucial to healing your GI track. Many health professionals generalize on diet, but you truly need to be specific. This book helps differentiate for example fiber foods that would ease your digestive system. Buy this book and you won't regret it. IBS is a disease that is more life altering than heart disease, but because it is not immediately life threatening therefore IBS traditionally was not researched to its full potential. Dr. Frissora and her body of work helps to find new ways of coping with IBS symptoms.

Not enough information by Melinda S. Carpenter (Eastern NC USA)  1 Stars
March 13, 2008
Not enough information. Very slim book, with little information. Basically, all of the information it contained I have found on websites.

NOT Consistent with the current research by Mike NoLomotil (Florida) 1 Stars
April 24, 2007
Unfortunately a well-intentioned author provides just another "me too" guide, which includes all the persistent misconceptions about the role of diet in IBS-D; D&C; and C subpopulations. Clearly not current with the literature and does not understand the processing of benign antigens by the gastroimmune system nor the process of oral tolerance (which is compromised in this condition leading to the symptoms). As with any of these books, authors do not yet understand the fact that to achieve a high-rate and significant degree of remission the diet must be patient-specific. This cannot be accomplished with the procedures recommended much less with the dietary advice provided. Probabilities dictate that you are bound to find some people who experience some relief from some of the recommendations, and many people who receive little relief. Some will experience worsening of their symptoms. IBS patients will be consuming foods and additives left and right which perpetuate their symptoms using these types of books for guidance which is well out of date.

Informative by Anna K. Josephson (Duluth, MN USA)  4 Stars
January 08, 2007
This book was very informative but I already knew most of what was in the book from research of my own. I would suggest this book to anyone suffering from IBS who wants to learn more about this health issue. Great book.

If you are one of the millions of people suffering from IBS, immediate help is finally at hand. Contrary to what many believe, eating for IBS does not mean deprivation, never going to restaurants, boring food, or a limited and therefore unhealthy diet.
