| Abstract: |
This comprehensive guidebook from the Mayo Clinic focuses on a variety of digestive symptoms, including heartburn, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea, and the common conditions that are often responsible for these symptoms. Written in nontechnical language, the book includes practical information on how the digestive system works, factors that can interfere with its normal functioning, and how to prevent digestive problems. After two introductory chapters in which the authors review the anatomy and physiology of the digestive tract and practical suggestions for maintaining a healthy digestive tract, the book includes 12 chapters on symptoms, common diagnostic tests, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers and stomach pain, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (together called inflammatory bowel disease or IBD), celiac disease, diverticular disease, gallstones, pancreatitis, liver disease, and cancer. Each chapter on a specific condition reviews the symptoms, diagnosis, risk factors, prognosis, and treatment options for that condition. The book concludes with a list of resource organizations through which readers can obtain more information, and a subject index. |
