A multi-layered, honest and moving book that gives hope and courage to patients, friends and family and offers a new perspective on IBD. Autoimmune diseases, such as the chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are becoming increasingly common, especially in the industrialized Western world. Besides a genetic predisposition, the role played by diet and lifestyle as disease-causing factors is increasingly coming to the fore. These aspects represent adjusting screws we can turn to regain our health. Nevertheless, in so-called evidence-based medicine, IBD is considered chronic and incurable. After her son's diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, the author quickly realises that conventional medicine has nothing to offer for the 16-year-old Luca than lifelong, purely symptomatic drug therapy. Therefore, she takes the treatment of his colitis and a contamination phobia linked to it into her own hands. As a team, she, her son and her partner embark on a challenging healing journey. She writes her own prescription for Luca, which comprises the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), the GAPS diet, her unconditional love and her son's right to self-realisation, absolute self-care and authenticity. Luca's journey back to health involved many setbacks, demanding determination, patience and trust in his self-healing powers. Today, his colitis belongs to the past, and he can live without symptoms and without being medicated for life with drugs that have severe side effects.

This practical guide provides patients who have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies for coping with IBD. It teaches a number of skills that can make coping with Crohn’s or colitis easier. Chapters provide an overview of Crohn’s and colitis as well as the interplay between stress and the gut, before offering strategies on relaxation training, physical activity, managing stress and avoidance, diet and nutrition, and medical treatment options. The book also emphasizes the importance of the doctor-patient relationship and helps patients learn how to think about medical management (including the possibility of surgery) to minimize anxiety from catastrophic thoughts and balance potential risks and benefits appropriately. Dr. Hunt challenges readers to engage in specific behavioral experiments to reduce shame and stigma and highlights practical applications with case illustrations and clinical vignettes. This book can be used as a standalone self-help book or in conjunction with practitioners during in-person therapy.

Written from a patient's perspective, this book provides timely information about how to obtain and maintain the highest quality of life possible while living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis—together known as inflammatory bowel disease—are chronic illnesses of unknown origin. The inflammation within the intestinal tract (within the colon in ulcerative colitis, and anywhere from the mouth to the anus in Crohn disease) leads to some or all of the following clinical symptoms—diarrhea (with or without blood), abdominal pain, fever, and fatigue. The disease is characterized by periods of flare-up and remission. Some individuals, especially those who have ulcerative colitis, may have one acute episode in their lifetime. But most IBD sufferers have recurrent periods of illness. Even in the absence of clinical symptoms, there is usually radiological and laboratory evidence of the disease. Current medical treatments reduce symptoms, but do not cure either disease. Because of the unpredictable nature of the disease process, quality of life is severely impaired, especially for the sickest individuals. Besides providing basic information, this book describes various medical, surgical, nutritional, and even spiritual treatments. Its aim is to help those who are afflicted with IBD, as well as their families, to improve and maintain the highest possible quality of life.

It also includes chapters on capsule endoscopy and balloon and overtube-assisted enteroscopy to define the presence and activity of Crohn's enteritis and additional chapters defining the use of random biopsies versus chromoendoscopy, and computer enhanced imaging to define possible dysplasia development. The book also includes access to online videos, making it the ultimate verbal and visual tool for all medical professionals interested in the advances in the field over the last several decades. Endoscopy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a concise text that is of great value to practicing endoscopists, gastroenterologists, general or colorectal surgeons, physicians in training, and all medical professionals caring for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
