The New People: Not Patients : A Source Book for Living With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Banks, Present and Steiner-Grossman have produced what I think is the best book on Inflammatory Bowel Disease on the market. Once again endorsed by the CCFA (an indicator of quality), this book is extremely well written and definitely the best laid out book on the market. It's always been a pet peeve of mine that IBD books never seem to have any good pictures or illustrations and this book has a plethora of both. The information is still your standard IBD stuff - overview of the diseases, medical/surgical treatment, emotional issues, IBD in children, in pregnancy, etc. - but it is easy to read and very accessible in attitude. If you have to choose just one IBD book, I'd recommend this one.

Published in coordination with the CCFA, this book includes information on diagnostic tests, doses and side effects of IBD medications, traveling with IBD, and strategies for coping with ostomies. In addition, there is material on health insurance, nutrition and exercise, IBD in older people, children and teenagers. Overall, it's a good reference book, especially the sections on nutrition, exercise and living with IBD. Recently revised.
