Synopses & Reviews
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is an extremely common disorder, which is diagnosed in 50% of cases of people who have consulted a gastroenterologist. Symptoms vary from constipation to diarrhea, stomach pains, colic, headaches and backache. High fiber diets and drugs are often seen as the instant cure for digestive problems, but Shirley Trickett feels that this conventional treatment compounds the problem. She offers an alternative self-help plan, including dietary changes, therapeutic massage, homoeopathy, colonic irrigation, aromatherapy and reflexology.
Synopsis
