Synopsis

Finally, A Complete Approach To Managing I.B.S. At last, here?s a comprehensive program that combines every proven strategy to managing irritable bowel syndrome. Written by a team of specialists, I.B.S. Relief succeeds where single-dimensional treatment attempts fall short because it addresses the complex nature of I.B.S. There are medical issues that require a gastroenterologist, nutrition issues that require a registered dietitian, and stress and coping issues that require a psychologist.

• Limit the frequency and intensity of episodes
• Adjust your diet to your symptoms
• Manage pain
• Establish a healthy routine
• Deal with stress
• Practice relaxation strategies
• Overcome fatigue

I.B.S. Relief also offers self-assessments, helpful record forms, and six different diet plans to be used alone or in combination
