About IBS

The first part of the book looks at the prevalence of IBS (up to 1 in 5 people in the UK are affected), its symptoms, and the effect it can have on work and social life. A range of treatments is considered including an in-depth analysis of how eating patterns, meal timing and food affect IBS. Fibre is thought to be a key issue and menu plan for low, medium and high levels of fibre are given. The book also looks at the benefits of complementary treatments such as probiotics, prebiotics and aloe vera.
