He also explains how to determine whether to treat such day-to-day problems as gas, belly-ache , diarrhea, and constipation at home or to bring them to a doctor's attention. Covering a wide range of colonic and intestinal disorders from irritable bowel syndrome to sexually trasmitted disorders, Dr Janowitz provides basic information on the symptoms and causes each problem. With clear and useful diagrams, photographs, charts, and tables, this indispensable handbook is essential reading for anyone who has ever been afflicted with intestinal problems.
