Book Reviews of A New IBS Solution
Book Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
There are several outstanding books on this subject, and I would suggest getting at least several if you have this medical problem.Book Review: A New IBS Solution
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this book for my sister who suffers from SIBO, she has found it very informative.Book Review: An extremely insightful book for the IBS sufferer
Summary: 4 Stars
I learnt a lot of technical yet practical information about the illness from just one reading and much more on several later revisions. Being informed is being empowered. The information contained within may be considered by many as misguided or misinformed. But the reality is that there is not even one statement made in the book which is not backed up by evidence and logic.
For too long there has been a strong stigma in the medical field that a "cure" (in the pure simplicity of the word) couldn't possibly exist for IBS. In fact the very idea that IBS is labeled a syndrome says it all. A syndrome is complex, multi-problematic and is affected by countless external factors. The idea that there exists a treatment of ten days that could very well remove all symptoms of suffering by removing the source of the problem seems far too incredible and avant-garde to be deemed plausible. Therein actually, lays the problem with almost all current treatments in the west for IBS, which treat the symptoms not the cause.
There are many people who will obviously not respond to the protocol presented, but there will also be a large percentage that will. It would be a shame if the medical profession does not begin to accept or at least accommodate room for the concepts presented by Mark Pimentel.
Mark, thank you for this book, you may have very well given me something to live for again.
Book Review: Try the Antibotics - they may or may not work
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had symptoms of constipation and bloating. Then about every 4 weeks or so, I come down with horrific nausea (no vomiting). I do have gastroparesis and Dr. thought I might have Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth sooo, I bought this book and asked my Dr. for the Xifaxan 550 mg/3 times a day for 14 days followed by erthromycin. All the symptoms went away for 4 to 5 months so I thought good, I'll just get the antibiotics again. The second time they did nothing! Then I struggle for many more months and read in Pimentel's book that sometimes adding 500 mg neomycin 3 times a day for 14 days to the Xifaxen regiment might work. It did! For eight glorious months and I didn't follow his diet - just ate normally. Now, it's back again. So, I'm on my fourth dose of Xifaxan and neomycin - I WILL follow his diet this time to see if that is the missing factor to a grand CURE! But, really, I'd like people who gushed about this book months ago to come back and update how their symptoms are doing now! I haven't talked to anyone with SIBO who hasn't have this come back. Most only make it weeks or 3 or 4 months. Get the book but keep your expectations reasonable.Book Review: Finally, a viable IBS solution
Summary: 4 Stars
As a lifetime sufferer of severe IBS, I recommend this book to all my fellow IBSers nationwide. My IBS doc in Dallas (Dr. John Hyatt) recently had me try Pimentel's treatment methodology (Xifaxan followed by Zelnorm) with incredible results. Read this book, talk to your doctor about it, and if all else fails, go see Hyatt.
