I believe that we people who suffer and live with IBS daily, search and constantly look for reading material which can suggest solutions or at least some relief from IBS, and there are hundreds of publications a few that help, but most define the affliction, but offer little or no suggestions which leave us right back where we started from. This book, "The Makers Diet" and the other book, "IBS for Dummies" are 2 of the best I've found in the many years I've lived with this affliction. Both books are worth Buying and reading. They don't cure IBS and the authors don't claim their books will, because IBS victims know that nothing to date exists to cure this stomach problem, so the only alternative we have is to try to reduce the affliction so that we can remain physically active. These 2 books have helped me do that, I hope they will help others to do the same !
