Quote from Library Journal: "Of the many books on celiac disease and gluten intolerance on the market today, this is one of the best for both patients and those in the medical field. Recommended for all libraries."

The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Solution breaks new ground in the field of digestive disorders and is a must read for anyone with an interest in solving IBS. Dr. Wangen explains in this book why there are so many different causes of IBS, including foods, bacteria, yeast (Candida), and parasites. He also explains how it is possible for most people with IBS to elucidate the specific cause of their digestive problem and learn how to treat it.

There are no generic recommendations in this book. If you want a cure to your IBS, you need information specific to your body. Dr. Wangen explains how IBS is addressed at the IBS Treatment Center and the specific types of tests and treatments that are used to get to the bottom of the problem. His style is easy to read and includes many interesting stories and examples of patients who have been cured of their IBS. He also discusses why nonspecific treatments such as generic dietary recommendations, stress reduction, supplements and medications rarely cure IBS.
