This 'self-help guide for sufferers' aims to answer all the questions people are afraid to ask - and which might help them to solve problems before they become serious ... this no-nonsense little book should probably be on every family's bookshelf. East Anglian Daily Times This book is, as it claims, 'frank and entertaining' without being derogatory to people with bowel conditions. The author has great understanding of each condition and shows real empathy towards patients ... This book should be recommended reading for students, nurses and GPs. Nursing Standard ... informative and accessible ... I would recommend this book to patients, especially those who express an interest in learning more about their bowel habit. It may help clear up misconceptions about symptoms that are so often too embarrassing for individuals to discuss with their doctor. Jounrnal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, 15
