4.0 out of 5 stars
A Solid Resource on the Subject of IBD,
By
This review is from: Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Guide for Patients and Their Families (Paperback)
This compilation of various articles written by IBD experts from across the country is an official Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America publication and that endorsement alone should indicate its quality and content. Every chapter in this book is well written and scrupulously up-to-date with excellent references and resources. Chapter subjects are very holistic in that both the medical and emotional aspects of IBD are represented. There is even a chapter on the use of alternative medicine in the treatment of IBD! Definitely purchase this book for your library.
