People with irritable bowel syndrome have chronic abdominal pain and discomfort, bloating, and disordered bowel habits. Understandably, they worry about their symptoms and how their lives are disrupted by IBS. And they are often frustrated because they cannot control their symptoms with dietary changes or over-the-counter medications. The contradictory advice they receive from friends and health care professionals only adds to their concerns.As a gastroenterologist, Dr. Brian E. Lacy is well aware of the concerns and frustrations that surround IBS. He has written this compassionate and readable book to explain all aspects of the disorder―from causes to symptoms, from diagnosis to treatment―for everyone who struggles with irritable bowel syndrome.In Making Sense of IBS, Dr. Lacy addresses the questions people most frequently ask, including how IBS develops, how it is diagnosed, how to distinguish symptoms of IBS from symptoms of other medical disorders, how the symptoms are affected by stress, the effectiveness of alternative and complementary therapies, available prescription medications, and whether IBS is hereditary. He provides tips on preparing for an office visit with a health care provider, a list of patient-based resources, a glossary of medical terms, and profiles of patients seeking―and finding―solutions.A complete guide for people with IBS and their families, this is an essential tool for understanding and living with this common and sometimes debilitating disorder.

EVER FEEL LIKE YOU NEED A MIRACLE TO LOSE WEIGHT?Well, the miracle is here! You've seen Adele Puhn on The Gordon Elliott Show and Day & Date delivering the good news: You don't need willpower; you do need a program that is medically safe, is nutritionally sound, and promises astounding results by taking away your urge to overeat. That's The 5-Day Miracle Diet.Adele tells you exactly which foods to eat at what times, a simple plan that will regulate your blood sugar and keep it stable all day long. When you're in "good blood sugar," your cravings disappear--a process that takes just five days! And not only will you lose your cravings, you'll steadily melt away pounds while feeling more energized, mentally focused, and healthier than ever before. So toss out your food pyramids, low-fat cookies, and carbo-packed meals. And throw away words like willpower, motivation, and urges.

The word "diet" in the title may be a bit misleading, as it's more of a blood sugar-regulating eating schedule; once blood sugar is normalized, says author Adele Puhn, cravings soon dissipate, and that helps excess pounds fall off almost by themselves. It's not a five-day diet, either, as the title implies; rather, that's the amount of time it takes to get your blood sugar fully normalized. Puhn, who has a master's degree in medical biology and has been certified as a nutritional specialist by the American College of Nut...
