Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and urinary incontinence are two common chronic ailments traditionally thought to be incurable. While neither is life-threatening and neither is being heroically researched and reported upon, these afflictions cause great personal distress to millions of people. For the first time, two strong self-help books offer cogent medical information and comprehensive action plans to IBS or incontinence sufferers. Staying Dry , a workbook (unfortunately padded with unnecessary forms) based on successful programs developed at Johns Hopkins, is very practical and encouraging. The Wellness Book of IBS is also specific and practical. Extensive and invasive tests for IBS are unnecessary, say the authors; diagnosis can be established by careful history and physical examination. Individual diet regulation is advised, and the book concludes with 50 recipes for IBS comfort. Both books are highly recommended.

Review
I have seen the book and am impressed. Staying Dry is written in easy-to-understand language, and I am delighted to recommend it to my readers.
(Ann Landers )This book takes a straightforward approach to a problem that most people find too embarrassing to discuss even with their doctors. Incontinence is a problem that has many effective treatments. Staying Dry gives people encouragement to explore those treatments and offers hope for a cure. We recommend it for every family who would like to know more about theproblem.
(ParentCare )This client-centered workbook for managing urinary incontinence is a welcome addition to the self-help literature.
(Journal of Gerontological Nursing )This is a clearly written handbook that patients will find easy to read and to understand. Incontinent patients are in need of a reference book that specifically addresses them. Although the primary audience for this book is the patient, the physician may be interested in seeing how a difficult topic can be made simple.
(Journal of American Geriatrics Society )An excellent book... If urinary incontinence is a problem for you, this could be the best $12.95 you could spend.
(Dr. Art Ulene )
