A classic Thorson's bestseller newly updated

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is an extremely common disorder which is diagnosed in 50% of cases by people who have consulted a gastroenterologist. Symptoms vary from constipation to diarrhoea, stomach pains, colic, headaches and backache. Conventional treatment - drugs and high fibre diets make it worse.

Shirley Trickett offers non-drug treatments for self help, including dietary changes, therapeutic massage, homoeopathy, colonic irrigation, aromatherapy and reflexology.

Key to this new edition are the following new sections:
* aloe vera, l-glutamine, glucosamine supplements
* how to bring down your cortisol levels to manage anxiety and blood sugar problems
* how to minimise severe weight loss by bringing down allergic reactions and thereby enabling a sufferer to widen their diet.
