3.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title, December 8, 1999

By	[e-mail] (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Diverticulitis: A Self-Help Plan (Paperback)

Except for the title, you cannot find any reference to Diverticulosis in this book. Otherwise, it is a useful book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Irritable Bowel Syndrome & Dverticulosis, May 2, 2003

By A Customer

Got Diverticulosis and want help? Dont buy this book. These are two different ailments and the author treats them as one.

Very dissapointed, save your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Clearly defective, February 23, 2008

By	Ensign Jack (Richmond, BC Canada) - See all my reviews

A book that displays two prominent topics in its title, namely "IBS" and "Diverticulosis" and then proceeds never to mention one of those topics again ("Diverticulosis") is clearly defective. IBS and Diverticulosis can be very similar symptomatically but are by no means identical or even synonymous. The title is so misleading as to be unacceptable by any reasonable literary standard.
