Education is vital to an IBS sufferer, especially when our doctors give us very little information on the condition or expect us to be satisfied with an explanation of 'It's just stress'. The more educated we are, the greater our chances of finding something that helps us deal with our symptoms.
If you are looking for a good general introduction to IBS, my first choice would be The First Year - IBS by Heather Van Vorous.
