No other book on Crohn's or UC can even compare-INFORMATIVE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Managing Your Child's Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (Hardcover)
This is truly the book to have if your child has Crohn's. I wish that this book would have available when this whole ordeal started with my daughter (then 10 years old). It truly explains soooooo many things, In a nut shell this is the book to have, initially it may even give you more information then you are prepared to handle, but when you're ready, the information is there for your reading and using. A MUST HAVE BOOK!!

Excellent Guide to Crohn's and colitis for Parents,
By A Customer
This review is from: Managing Your Child's Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (Hardcover)
Every parent of a child with Crohn's or UC should have a copy of this indispensible guide. This book, recently published in coordination with the CCFA, is the first dedicated solely to the needs of children and teens with IBD and their families. It is separated into three sections: diagnosis, treatment, and living with the disorder. It contains a glossary of medical terms, a resources section, and a number of positive statements from children with IBD. Highly recommended for parents!

This book was exactly what our family needed at diagnosis.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Managing Your Child's Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (Hardcover)
This book was given to us when our daughter,age 10, was diagnosed with Crohns summer of '98. Her Doctor gave it to us on our first visit. I strongly suggest any parent in this similar situation needs this book. My head was spinning I had questions, at least I thought I did, I was confussed. This book helped me get a handle on what was going on, what treatments were presently available,and how we would survive and move on. I just can't say enough about this book. It is really reader friendly and that is important when you are in a new situation like this.
