Understanding Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis
by Jon Zonderman and Ronald S Vender M.D

Using his time recovering from a severe flare-up and surgery for Crohn's, medical writer and freelance journalist, Jon Zonderman, teamed up with his gastroenterologist to create this book. It provides basic information on the main subject areas of diagnosis, how the digestive system works, how it malfunctions in people with IBD, associated conditions that can occur, special situations, and the various treatments.

Issues such as effect on family, body image and adapting to living with chronic illness are also adequately covered in the book. Included are several pages on what possibilities have been researched in the search for a cure.

Written in a very simple and easy format, this book would suit those not wanting to go into the complexities of everything known or not known on inflammatory bowel disease.
