This is the most comprehensive and helpful book I have found on Crohn's disease. It is specific to the disease, not a catch all for all GI problems like most books. There are a lot of useful tips for everyday living and dealing with annoying problems that come with the disease. This book is great for patients, physicians, and other clinicians who work work Crohn's patients. Highly recommended!!!

I am a clinical health psychologist working with patients with a variety of illnesses and I found Dr. Trachter's book to be a comprehensive review of the salient issues facing patients with Crohn's disease. Not only would I recommend this book to my patients, but I found it to be a useful supplement to my own knowledge base regarding Crohn's disease and IBD.

Out of the 5 books I own on Crohn's Disease, I find this book one of the better ones as the topic of this book is one that is not covered as much in other CD books. Managing your EMOTIONAL symptoms is an extremely important part of managing this disease and the information in the book is very helpful and is humorous as well.

Good book with practical strategies, recommendations, and solutions for those new to Crohn's Disease or experiencing a flare after a long remission and in need of a refresher course in coping.

Trachter's book was a great review of educational information on Crohn's disease. There were some sections on overcoming emotional challenges, although not in as much detail as I desired. This book is a great resource for an individual suffering from Crohn's disease and I would recommend it as supplemental to other resources.
