Some conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome, afflict more than twice as many women as men. Yet all too often, women suffer in silence—or fail to benefit when they receive the same treatment as men. Now, in this accessible, comprehensive guide, one of the country’s leading gastroenterologists, Dr. Cynthia Yoshida, provides the answers every woman needs, starting with a tour of the female GI system and the profound role sex hormones play. Brought to you by the American Gastroenterological Association, the book features the newest breakthrough medical treatments, plus advice on diet and gentle natural therapies that really work. No More Digestive Problems includes: • Handling the effects of PMS, pregnancy, and menopause • The surprising influence of weight on digestion—with vital information on eating disorders • Combating common ills from bloating, belching, and heartburn to the runs and constipation • Meeting the challenges of reflux (GERD), food intolerances, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) • The crucial facts about women and colon cancer—and how to reduce your risk Filled with revealing patient anecdotes, self-help tips, information on standard tests, and important questions you may want to ask your physician, here is an invaluable—and potentially lifesaving—resource for women of all ages.

 Rating: - Interesting and InformativeThis helped more learn more about Irritable Bowel which I have had for years. The book is easy to read and I thought good for all folks who have digestive problems and don't know what to do. Rating:  - No More Digestive ProblemsI am a retired nurse and I thought this book was very well written, covered many areas of digestive problems, was easy to understand at all levels, and gave very good solutions.The author had a good sense of humor while dealing with some delicate female subjects.

I look forward to more books by this expert. Rating: - Burp!This book was very helpful, especially in matters of special diets in the sense of which foods to eat as well as which to avoid. My doctor was pretty good on which to avoid, but not so helpful when it came to an all around, everyday diet. The book was better. Secondly, the book helped me to better understand my problem...Boy, do I miss chocolate. Rating:  - I was a bit disappointed...I purchased this book because it stated it was written by a leading GI Doctor especially for women. It promises to answer all questions and give real solutions to stop pain and achieve lasting digestive health. Well, I have read the entire book and found it to be mostly repetitive, somewhat condescending, lacks some current medical prescriptions, and does not include natural holistic medicines and techniques. Her solution to everything seems to be weight-loss. This book is okey. But, I had expected ... Read More
