Comprehensive book about irritable bowel syndrome

This is a comprehensive book about irritable bowel syndrome, its causes and remedies. As the author points out, "irritable" and "bowel" do not generally conjure up the image people would like to have of themselves, which is why it is a little-understood, but very common, condition. The book includes plenty of information on diet, relaxation and alternative medicine. There is also a chapter on stress, but this is marred by some very outdated, patronising comments, such as "If a working woman has a husband and children, she may feel additional guilt at neglecting her traditional role as home-maker" (actually we're not in the 1950s any more!) and "Have confidence that to touch someone of the same sex does not mean that you are gay, and that you can hug someone of the same sex without any sexual overtones" (those of us in the modern world know that already, thanks). Unfortunately the stress caused for a modern person reading these gems of traditionalist twaddle will possibly outweigh the many good suggestions for stress-relief in the book. But it is generally a well-written and informative guide to IBS and what can be done about it.
