"Gastroenterology for the House Officer", edited by David B.
Sachar, Jerome D. Waye, and Blair S. Lewis (William & Wilkins,
1989). Intended audience is doctors, but is relatively cheap
($20) as medical textbooks go. ISBN 0-683-07488-1 (paperback).
"Healing Your Body Naturally- Alternative Treatments to Illness',
Gary Null (Seven Stories Press, 1997).
ISBN 1888363460 (paperback). Includes a big chapter on
digestive disorders.
As indicated by the title, this is a book of alternative treatments to
common medical problems-arthritis, cancer, heart disease, etc. Some of
them sound very exciting and worth investigating if you suffer from
these problems. It has a chapter on digestive diseases but doesn't
deal with IBD specifically, and again, it's high fibre, vegetarian
approach, though it's undoubtedly very good for most people, may not
be tolerated by those with active disease. There is a distinct
anti-medical bias with lots of stories of wrong medication and
diagnosis by the medical establishment, but also lots of hopeful
stories of "spontaneous remissions" tied to health food type cures.
