Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic constipation or diarrhea, difficulty swallowing, chronic indigestion, chronic abdominal pain — if you or someone you love is one of the 40 percent of people worldwide who suffer from any of these conditions, you need to read this book.
Gut Feelings: The Patient’s Story — Personal Accounts of the Illness Journey by Douglas A. Drossman MD and Johannah Ruddy MEd is the followup to Gut Feelings: Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction and the Patient-Doctor Relationship. In this all-new volume, you’ll find the personal stories of eight patients managing a Disorder of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI), a cluster of disorders that are frequently misdiagnosed, or, what’s worse, brushed off as “all in the mind.”
The authors write that most of these patients’ stories “are notable for the extensive and frustrating processes these patients endured, despite their providers’ well-intentioned, but unsuccessful efforts.” If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
You’ll get a full understanding of various DGBIs, learn what it’s like to live with them, and gain insight into how the health care system can either help or hinder diagnosis and treatment. Both patients and providers will resonate with these powerful stories and learn how to optimize the patient-provider relationship for better outcomes.
