REAL SOLUTIONS FOR EMBARASSING SYMPTOMS, Sep 13 2006
By S. Corning - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Solution (Paperback)
Although I had been previously diagnosed with celiac disease with dairy intolerance, this book made me consider that my ongoing symptoms were more than gluten or dairy contamination accidents. In simple, layman's language, Dr. Wangen explains the 'normal' digestive process and problems that can arise in that system (like diarrhea and constipation). Then he describes the common medical approaches ('Treating the Symptoms, Ignoring the Cause') for 'IBS' symptoms. That section describes the typical journey of misdiagnoses and dead ends, which many celiacs take before getting a correct celiac disease diagnosis. Next he discusses the common causes of 'IBS' symptoms, which include celiac disease, food allergies and 'bugs' (such as bacteria imbalances, yeast and parasites). Finally he tells how he determines what causes a patient's symptoms and the appropriate treatment to eliminate those symptoms.This book convinced me to visit Dr. Wangen's IBS Treatment Center and test for food allergies and other `bugs'. After learning I had 2 additional food allergies and a bacterial imbalance, which caused my continuing symptoms, I followed Dr. Wangen's dietary guidelines to avoid painful allergy reactions and began treatment to restore natural bacterial balance. Although I'm still treating bacterial imbalance, my ongoing symptoms are slowly disappearing and I'm beginning to experience better digestion than I have in years.
If you have been diagnosed with `IBS', but still struggle with symptoms, read this book. If you're a diagnosed celiac, who has ongoing symptoms despite abstaining from gluten, read this book. If you're tired of doctors who dismiss your `gut' symptoms as `stress', read this book. This book HAS solutions for IBS.

Finally - Someone who gets results based on actual research, Jan 11 2006
By Seattle COO - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Solution (Paperback)
My wife has been treated by Dr. Wangen at the IBS Treatment Center. His methods make sense. Rather than some nebulous idea about what might be causing your bowel to betray you, he actually tests things that have been shown to cause IBS. He details the results of lots of research in his book in language that is easy to understand.I have spoken with several people who have had IBS for years and have seen many doctors and tried many diets but have not been able to see much relief. Fortunately for us, Dr. Wangen explains in this book why that is and how to get real results. It was very surprising to find that you can actually measure the various types of bacteria in your intestines and change the mix if it is not right. The website for his clinic, www.ibstreatmentcenter.com has more information and links to the published research that he used to formulate his techniques. That is really refreshing in a world where most IBS books don't cite any sources at all.

This approach to IBS treatment changed my life, Feb 23 2006
By Steve - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Solution (Paperback)
Dr. Wangen's approach, outlined in his book, is to find the underlying CAUSE of IBS. It seems so simple and yet in 20 years of seeking help from a number of doctors, and enduring many tests, no one else could help me. In my first visit with Dr. Wangen he tested for several potential causes and quickly identified my case as food related sensitivities. I have eliminated those foods from my diet and no longer have the symptoms I suffered from for so many years. I believe Dr. Wangen's book outlines a logical approach that can help many people regain their health and life. I also believe every medical general practitioner and internist should be REQUIRED to read it. I highly recommend this book to those who are suffering from IBS and want to feel good again.
