This book contains loads of info on natural and alternative methods to alleviate IBS and gastrointestinal distress. It is easy and even fun to read. I personally tried the evening primrose supplements recommended in the book. I can't exlain why this helped. But my IBS problems are gone.

Not only is this book a waste of money but its title is so misleading that borders on the fraudulent. Only about 15% of the book deals with the puported subject (IBS). The only thing you are going to learn from this Handbook is that you should not smoke, take caffeine, drink alcoholic beverages or eat fat and sugar. And then only on general health priciples, not because this regime would be particularly helpful in alleviating the IBS syntoms. What a take!

Who is Chet Cunningham? Someone who obviously knows nothing about what IBS is nor how one should treat it. This book is totally useless and some of his advice is outright dangerous. Garbage!

Hi,
I just read this book and was favorably surprised. The negative reviews in here do not seem to be accurate. For example, one review says that only 15% of the book dealt with IBS. This is NOT true. 2/3 of the book discusses IBS directly and the rest helps distinguish between other diseases and IBS. This is exactly what is in the title.
I called the company with a question. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. Their web site is www.urpublishers.com and the phone number is on the front page. I think they are under new ownership and may explain why my experience was so good.
This book may be basic in some ways, but it certainly is accurate. It is an excellent primer on the subject and deserves strong consideration. It gave my daughter three new treatments to try. Two of the treatments really helped. That is what we wanted.

This book is a life saver if you have IBS. It covers the condition in every way and gives great suggestions about foods and exercise. The author makes it easy to read, just like he is talking to you.
Check out the section on fiber, it will surprise you.

I need some help. I ordered the above Handbook out of the February 2002 AARP Bulletin on February 2002. I mailed them a check. I have not received my handbook. There was no telephone number to call to find out the status of the order. The mailing address is United Research Publishers Dept. AAS-7 PMB T; 132 North El Camino Real; Encinitas CA 92024. If anyone knows a telephone number that I could call, please give it to me.
Thanks

What a waste of money. This books gives information that is very basic. The book is more basic then any magazine article on the subject of IBS.

Hi Nan - The book publisher has a website where you can email them, though they do not list a phone number. The site is ...unitedresearchpubs.com and there is a "contact us" page.

I am really sorry they took advantage of you that way.
