It is estimated that one in five adults in the UK may have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) at any one time. Most of us suffer abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhoea at some point in our lives, but how do we know if we have IBS? Sarah Dawson’s helpful and informative book has all the answers about this distressing condition, what causes it and how you can alleviate the symptoms. She explains the diagnostic tests available, how stress affects the gut and the diets and foods that can trigger or affect the condition.
A sufferer herself for many years, Sarah eliminated her own symptoms when she discovered they were caused by stress and an intolerance to fructose. She changed her diet, took up yoga, learned to meditate and is now symptom free.
