Since our son was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, I have wanted to talk to someone who has experienced IBD firsthand. This book is the next best thing to a personal conversation. The author has painstakingly documented his struggle to regain his quality of life and in the details, I have found answers to many of my questions. After reading this book, I no longer feel helpless.

As someone who suffers from irritable bowel syndrome, I am always looking for books that offer some good advice about ways to deal with this condition. I even went to the library once and checked out every single book they had on the topic. Even with all the books I've read, I've never found one that is as uplifting as Gut Help. It manages to be informative while making such an unpleasant topic entertaining. Most books on digestive disorders tell you the symptoms and what you can expect, but do little to encourage you or let you know that your condition can be improved. Gut Help is different. It is written by someone that really experienced the condition and found a way to get well. It is written with humor, compassion, and inspiration. I especially enjoyed the section where Demirjian lists all of the "roadblocks" than can occur on the way to recovery and what you can do to overcome them. It's wonderful that he used his struggle and experience to perfect his method and share it with others. You can really feel he cares. I like the fact that the book isn't written by some doctor that has only studied the condition, but by a person who has gone through it and has come up with a process that works out of necessity. After reading Gut Help, I feel inspired to begin making changes to improve my condition and to face life with the positive attitude that Demirjian does.

Overall a terrific resource. After struggling with digestive difficulties for years, I know first hand how isolating these types of illnesses can be. It was great to finally see someone who shared in my challenges come forward and "tell it like it is." This book has done wonders for my health and as a result, my self-esteem. Not only does it make me feel more in control of my health and wellbeing, but it is nice to see someone supporting an option other than surgery for my illness. Thank you for helping me get my life back!

I like the way the author gives you a road map for dealing with so many of the problems with IBD. It has lots of excellent real world tips. This book made me not feel so alone.
