Editorial Review:
Like the other titles in the "First Year" series, The First Year—IBS offers two distinct advantages. First, it is written by a patient-expert, Heather Van Vorous, who has managed her IBS for more than fifteen years and knows firsthand what's required to manage her condition. Second, it guides readers through their first seven days following diagnosis, then the next three weeks of the first month, and finally the next eleven months of their first year, offering answers and advice to guide those with IBS into their new lifestyle. Starting with the day of diagnosis, Van Vorous provides detailed information about trigger foods, safe foods, soluble versus insoluble fiber, tips for eating and cooking, traveling, eating out, exercise, and much more. The First Year—IBS will inspire and educate those with IBS as no other guide does.

Rating:  - A good book on IBS but....
This was the first book that I bought when I was first diagnosed with IBS seven years ago. First the good points: 1.) Soluble Fiber vs. Insoluble Fiber. Heather talks about eating Soluble Fiber before eating Insoluble Fiber and this works well for me for the most part. I tend to mix Soluble Fiber(bread) with meat and don't have much of a problem. Everyone is different. It also talks about giving up dairy which I completely agree with. Another good point of the book is Hypnotherapy which I'm ... Read More
Rating:  - great informative book
I've been suffering for years from IBS/D and this book has it all, it's easy to read and gives you great information. I would highly recommend this book. It gives you all you need to know to live a healthy life once more. I do recommend the cookbook from Heather also, some of the recipes have things in them I can't find around here but for the most part it does have other ideas and recipes that you can use. Both books are great and I give them both five stars.

Rating: - Made a Huge Difference in How I Feel
I have not yet been diagnosed with IBS, as I am going through testing. However, regardless of what I have (symptoms are consistent with IBS except for typical age on onset), following this author's suggestions for controlling IBS has made a huge difference in how I feel. For months, I have had all kinds of GI issues, some of which were beginning to interfere with work and all of which made me worry on a daily basis that I might get "caught out" somewhere. After beginning the dietary advice in this ... Read More
Rating: - Relief At Long Last
I've been suffering for over 15 years with abdominal pain and wretching which lasted for days and days at a time. After having numerous bouts of emergency room visits, gastroenterologists, upper GI series, which are among some of the tests I've taken over the years, since my first attack that awoke me out of a sound sleep in 1991 (all with normal results), it wasn't until last February 2006 my doctor was finally able to put a "label" to these attacks, which was Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I purchased ... Read More
