It was really frustrating. I spent a lot of time and money trying to fix it, and nothing worked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDealing with IBS was especially frustrating because of all the unhelpful advice I'd get. When I'd Google IBS, I'd just get blog posts telling me to exercise and avoid triggering foods. Meanwhile, when I'd go to the doctor, they'd tell me I should just avoid stressful situations and eat more fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI really wished I had an actually helpful guide with actually helpful advice. I wanted a guide that would reassure me that I actually had IBS (and not Crohn's, colon cancer, or other much more frightening diseases). I also wanted a guide that would lay my treatment options out clearly: what works, what doesn't, and what I can expect from the treatment. Last, I wanted a guide that would tell me what was actually wrong with me. I knew my bowel was irritable, but why? What changed?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI couldn't find a guide like that. So I wrote it, and here it is. Here's what's in the book: \u003c\/p\u003eThe organization of the book\u003cp\u003eThe book is laid out first with a table to make sure you actually have IBS, and not a similar GI condition. Then it has a table of scientific evaluations of IBS treatments, complete with citations of many, many studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have a simpler form of IBS, these two tables might be enough. If you have a more complex form, or a more complex condition, you will need a doctor's help. That's why the next section is how to deal with your doctors, who will likely be your GP and your gastro.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you're dealing with your doctors (or figuring things out yourself), you should have an idea of how your digestive system actually works. That's why I've put another section here on how your digestive system works, and how it breaks down in the various IBS-related conditions. I've also included a brief scientific explanation of how the various IBS treatments work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the book, I list all my sources (and there are a lot!), what I took from them, and how I evaluated them. If you want, you can follow up on these sources yourself to gather your own conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003eI hope this guide is helpful. I know the way IBS can make you feel and the toll it can take on your mental health. I wish you the best.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 66\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.14 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 21, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51780739203360,"sku":"9798507987450","price":8.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/909e00683f458a23c1f77798bcba455e.webp?v=1780535891","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/how-to-treat-your-ibs-with-science-a-sufferers-guide-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
