Written in a caring, patient-friendly style, this helpful resource explores everything from initial diagnosis through the latest treatments as well as such at-risk factors as inheritance and a high-fat, low-fiber diet. There is also valuable information on related disorders such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. * The most up-to-date treatment options * Tips on nutrition, diet and exercise, and resumption of a healthy lifestyle * Appendixes include valuable information on locating financial aid and information hot lines PAUL F.
