Title: The Angry Gut: Coping With Colitis and Crohn's Disease by W. Grant Thompson ISBN: 0-306-44470-4 Publisher: Perseus Publishing Pub. Date: April, 1993 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $30.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (5 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Sensationalist Title but a Good Resource
Comment: Despite the title (which I think is unduly sensationalist), The Angry Gut is a well-written, clear reference for colitis and Crohn's sufferers. Grant is a straightforward, clinical writer and some readers might be put off by his use of widespread, medical terminology. Like any IBD books, the drug sections become quickly dated, but Grant supplies good information on existing drugs and surgeries. He falls into the common pitfall of many M.D.-authored books of completely ignoring the emotional aspects of inflammatory bowel disease and does not seek to refer readers to resources that might provide support. This is a solid, useful reference for IBD patients.
Rating: 5
Summary: Honest and forthright portrayal of IBD-great guide.
Comment: If you or a loved one has the disease-this is a must read. It "decodes" a lot of what the gastroenterology and colo-rectal surgery community gives to patients. This is a nice technical(but not too technical) discussion of IBD in all variations and your choices in terms of drug therapy or surgery. It also is very honest about research and likelihood of medical innovations or breakthroughs. It allows IBD patients to ask great questions and challenge medical practitioners. It's a great handbook for all IBD victims.
Rating: 4
Summary: Technical but informative.
Comment: This book is technical, but a good resource for individuals who know nothing about Chron's Disease. The author explains in exacting detail how Chron's disease affects people. Most Doctors do not get technical with their patients, and I feel that this book helped me to understand how and why this disease affects me. I now feel very comfortable talking with my Doctor regarding treatment
