If you've just been diagnosed, it better be Crohn's...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The First Year--Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (Paperback)
While I had high hopes for this new book I was very concerned about the VERY negative outlook the author gives the reader. Unless you suffer from Crohn's and a severe case at that, this book offers alot of information but little hope. If it is a your child that has been diagnosed look to Carol Svec terrific book on current medical research and help. Also Dr. Sabil book about Ulcerative Colitis is much better, as is the Guide to dealing with Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis in Children available on the CCFA website. Not all patients are as jaded as Ms.Sklar.

I was newly diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis,
By A Customer
This review is from: The First Year--Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (Paperback)
In January 2003, at age 40, after years of living with what I thought were my severe food allergies reactions, I was diagnosed with accute, universal, UC. I did not know where to turn for accurate, complete and honest information. I felt my doctor could only offer an overview of the disease. This was one of the first books that I read and I would strongly recommend it. Until I met fellow suffers through CCFA, I felt very alone with this disease. This book gave me a clear indication of what I have and what to expect with UC. I highly recommend this for the newly diagnosed - it was incredibily informative.

This review is from: The First Year--Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (Paperback)
An excellent overview of the disease and the most up-to-date and complete listing of current treatment options. I have had Crohn's disease for ten years and am very well researched on the disease and still found this book helpful. The title would imply it's a "starter" book, but it's also an excellent reference for veterans of the disease like me. The one negative review that claimed the author was "jaded" is a rather poorly thought out comment. When you write a book about the disease, you talk about the disease and it's complications. While it might be uplifting to read about all the people living comfortably with the disease, it doesn't help you take an active role in determining your treatment. This book does. All of us that suffer with the disease need to take the lead in understanding the disease and making sure we have the best medical care. So do your work! Read this book and others and support the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. Here's to hoping you feel better soon!
