Book description
Inflammatory Bowel Disease, such as Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative
Colitis, can be hard to diagnose, but is a condition that can severely
disrupt your life. There are many different forms of treatment that
can lead to long remissions but at present no immediate cure exists.
In this invaluable guide, Professor John Hunter helps you diagnose
your disease correctly and formulates the best treatment to keep
symptoms under control so you can lead a full life. With the aid of
self-assessment exercises and the latest medical research,
Inflammatory Bowel Disease will help you discover:
- what your condition is and how severe it is

- how to control your symptoms using diet and lifestyle
With clear, accessible information and effective guidance on
treatment, Professor John Hunter will help you manage your symptoms
and take control of your condition.
