Positive Options for Chrohn's Disease

My son has Chron's Disease, he was diagnosed at the age of 12 he is now 18. He had to have resection surgery and I was looking for a book that would let us know what to expect and what other options there could be. I feel this book has been very helpful to us and we will always have it to refer to when we have concerns. For the future if my son has questions I will have this book to give to him, but right now he is just trying to recover from surgery.

Exceptional!

This book is one of the best books on Crohn's Disease out there. I learned alot about my disease that I didn't know. It is very well written. And very easy to understand. I highly recommend this book. It is a 'MUST' if you are suffering from Crohn's Disease.

Beyond EXCELLENT! This book covers every question I've ever had about my illness. I will be taking it with me on all future doctor appointments and hospitalizations. Now I will better understand what my doctor is talking about because Dr. Gomez wrote the book for the patient, not the healthcare professional. Plus, she has very useful information on diet plans. I have two siblings with Crohn's and I won't be waiting until Christmas to buy them a copy.
