The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Self Help and Support Group Announces New Book IBS Chat: Real Life Stories and Solutions
Toronto, ON (PRWeb) April 2, 2007 -- The IBS Self Help and Support Group announces today that it is launching IBS Chat: Real Life Stories and Solutions, published by iUniverse Inc. and receiving iUniverse's Publisher's Choice™ designation. IBS Chat is co-authored by Jeffrey D. Roberts, M.S.Ed., President and Founder of the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Self Help and Support Group and Dr. Barbara Bradley Bolen, Clinical Psychologist and author of the widely acclaimed Breaking the Bonds of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
IBS Chat: Real Life Stories and Solutions is a compilation of the best of the best posts to the Bulletin Board of the on-line Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Self Help and Support Group, (http://www.ibsgroup.org). In an organized and easily accessible manner, IBS Chat offers a wealth of practical strategies for managing symptoms, information about a wide variety of treatment options, and insight into the effect that IBS can have on a person's life. Filled with advice, support, and reassurance, IBS Chat is an invaluable resource for anyone who suffers from this devastating intestinal disorder.
"Jeffrey Roberts and Dr. Barbara Bolen have done a remarkable job of compiling key comments, from all over the world, about IBS and the functional GI disorders. The information is well-organized, readable, and informative.

Through discussion of the realities of IBS and the effects of drugs, foods, exercises, and therapies, IBS Chat takes what is a complex disorder and offers comprehensive, enlightening, and most importantly, hopeful strategies for gaining control and improving quality of life.
