While it's fair to say that most of us can suffer with uncomfortable and embarrassing digestive problems at some point in our lives, how do you know if you're suffering with IBS?

All these issues are covered in this book, along with advice and information from professional nutritionists, doctors and dieticians. There's even a chapter dedicated just to women, as well as some IBS-friendly menus and case studies. Whether you're a parent with a child who has IBS, a partner of someone who suffers with the condition or suspect you have IBS yourself, you'll find essential information here.
