 Rating:  - Amazing right from the IntroductionI was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis about a month ago. This book was given to me as a gift. I finally started to read it, and the introduction itself was enough to get me hooked. Someone else knew what I felt! I am only a few chapters in, but the descriptions of the disease as well as personal accounts and talking about the greiving process is exactly what I need right now.

I wanted to know the basics ,what is this what can I expect and what to do. I didn't find that. Rating: - 1st year Crohn's Disease reviewI thought this book was very interesting and a very good read. It was real easy to understand and the first person perspective kept me reading page after page.
