Book excerpt: Gut Feelings: The Patient’s Story takes our knowledge about highly prevalent conditions such as IBS and other Disorders of Gut Brain Interaction further by learning from the patient's illness journey. This book offers a deeper dive into the experience of the illness through the patient’s perspective, giving their stories of illness and their experiences with the health care system. Additionally, we learn the key messages that helped them recover or learn to adapt to their illness. Through the use of patient narratives, we find quick connection for patients to identify with common experiences and take these lessons forward to their own medical care. These narratives are also a helpful tool for providers to learn the real world of patient illness experience and their role in improving clinical outcomes.

Book excerpt: “I made my first real acquaintance with Crohn's disease in Cuzco in Peru. On the second morning of my trip to Machu Picchu I rose with unfamiliar sensations in my stomach. If I hadn't already known for five years that I had this disease called Crohn's and which is accompanied by diarrhea, anemia and other symptoms, I would have described what I was feeling as a real pain.”“After long days of hospitalization, hallucination and a near operation by a Peruvian doctor, the episode fortunately passed. Only then, on a relaxed Brazilian beach, did I understand for the first time, in view of my Crohn's disease, just how much my condition could deteriorate if I did not take good care of my health. More importantly, though, I realized that my body had the capacity to heal itself, or at least bring about a marked improvement.”Gut Feelings is the personal story of a young man who one fine day was told that he had a bowel disease. No-one was able to tell him exactly what to do about it, so with his own blood and guts he had to discover it for himself. This book is intended for you as a Crohn's or Colitis patient, and for your family members who help you to deal with it. Besides its personal story, the book serves as a useful source of information about nutrition, about conventional and alternative methods of treatment, as well as recommending a desirable lifestyle for you as a patient.Rafael Moreno, an electrical engineer, married to Lital, and father of Alon, Maayan, Noam and Alma, has had Crohn's disease for over twenty years, and has managed to live with it in relative peace.“Gut Feelings is an autobiographical book that takes the reader by the hand along the winding path of inflammatory bowel disease. In all its ups and downs, its twists and turns, it presents an underlying promise of a better understanding of the disease, as well as a better understanding of themselves for readers, for whom it is a collection of useful advice in self-help and personal growth. Rafael Moreno's personal story touches the soft underbelly of those who have inflammatory bowel disease as well as their family members, and helps them in clarifying medical and personal issues equally well.”Professor Zvi Fireman Director of the Institute of Gastroenterology, Hillel Yaffe Medical Center“Gut Feelings is an important tool in assisting with dealing with the disease. The book includes the personal story of Rafael Moreno, who writes with great humor and sensitivity. It contains much information and guidance on how we can better tackle the disease, and how we can improve our quality of life. Among the various tools available in confronting the disease, this book is one of the most important tools in helping me and in continuing to help me in changing my life. Recommended for every patient and family member.”Adam Algarisi (Crohn's disease patient for ten years)“It's not just another book in a bookstore. It's a book that really touches you or those close to you. If you've been exposed to the world of IBD, reading this book is a personal duty in gaining a comprehensive and truthful view of the daily life of those who have to confront the disease...”Uri Fenster (Crohn's disease patient for eight years)

This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gut Feelings: Social and Emotional Struggles with Crohn’s & Colitis is a groundbreaking book that examines the inner shame and isolation that many patients experience while coping with the ups and downs of Crohn’s and Colitis. It is based on more than 100 interviews with patients, parents, siblings and romantic partners. Gut Feelings describes the ways patients and their loved ones navigate Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), perhaps the most taboo chronic illness to talk about, because it involves the body’s waste disposal system. Gut Feelings dives into the realities of living with IBD. The author, who was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at 16, rode the same roller coaster with the illness as many of her interviewees and so has a first-hand perspective. If you have IBD, or live with someone who does, after reading Gut Feelings, you will feel less alone with your internal emotions, more connected, and more willing to be open about your IBD. You will come away with renewed strength to contend with the feelings that naturally arise while coping with this arduous illness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An inspiring account of the enormous power that diet has to change the trajectory of our health.” —Erica D. Sonnenburg, senior research scientist, Stanford University School of Medicine We all know sugar is bad for us, so why can’t we stop eating it? A Gut Feeling gives a personal and scientific look into the world of microbes that live within our bodies and how they can explain our relationship to and cravings for certain foods. The microbiome is emerging as the answer to many of our most sought after questions. Using her own story and the science currently available, Heather Wise provides a window into the latest research on the vast world of microbes in our bodies. She explains in simple terms how what we eat can change the expression of our genes and how this symbiotic relationship between microbes and human cells can determine our health. A Gut Feeling offers practical steps to rebalancing and healing our gut microbiome to relieve stress, digestive upsets, inflammation, bloat, excess belly fat, and improve mood. Wise offers a needed alternative to the complex world of fad diets and calorie counting in this easy, evidence-based guide for wellbeing. Rooted in scientific research and providing a number of healthy sweet fixes high in prebiotic and probiotic foods that support the growth of healthy gut flora, this book is a practical guide to help heal our relationship with food and tune into what our gut has been trying to tell us. “Wise connects [the research] to real-life examples and ends each chapter with a short list of ‘Takeaways,’ which reinforce key concepts.” ―Booklist

Book excerpt: A riveting exploration of the most difficult and important part of what doctors do, by Yale School of Medicine physician Dr. Lisa Sanders, author of the monthly New York Times Magazine column "Diagnosis," the inspiration for the hit Fox TV series House, M.D. "The experience of being ill can be like waking up in a foreign country. Life, as you formerly knew it, is on hold while you travel through this other world as unknown as it is unexpected. When I see patients in the hospital or in my office who are suddenly, surprisingly ill, what they really want to know is, ‘What is wrong with me?’ They want a road map that will help them manage their new surroundings. The ability to give this unnerving and unfamiliar place a name, to know it—on some level—restores a measure of control, independent of whether or not that diagnosis comes attached to a cure. Because, even today, a diagnosis is frequently all a good doctor has to offer." A healthy young man suddenly loses his memory—making him unable to remember the events of each passing hour. Two patients diagnosed with Lyme disease improve after antibiotic treatment—only to have their symptoms mysteriously return. A young woman lies dying in the ICU—bleeding, jaundiced, incoherent—and none of her doctors know what is killing her. In Every Patient Tells a Story, Dr. Lisa Sanders takes us bedside to witness the process of solving these and other diagnostic dilemmas, providing a firsthand account of the expertise and intuition that lead a doctor to make the right diagnosis. Never in human history have doctors had the knowledge, the tools, and the skills that they have today to diagnose illness and disease. And yet mistakes are made, diagnoses missed, symptoms or tests misunderstood. In this high-tech world of modern medicine, Sanders shows us that knowledge, while essential, is not sufficient to unravel the complexities of illness. She presents an unflinching look inside the detective story that marks nearly every illness—the diagnosis—revealing the combination of uncertainty and intrigue that doctors face when confronting patients who are sick or dying. Through dramatic stories of patients with baffling symptoms, Sanders portrays the absolute necessity and surprising difficulties of getting the patient’s story, the challenges of the physical exam, the pitfalls of doctor-to-doctor communication, the vagaries of tests, and the near calamity of diagnostic errors. In Every Patient Tells a Story, Dr. Sanders chronicles the real-life drama of doctors solving these difficult medical mysteries that not only illustrate the art and science of diagnosis, but often save the patients’ lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reduced to being housebound, with terrifying symptoms, ""Your Gut Feeling"" chronicles the inspirational story of one man's complete triumph over the debilitating adversity of being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a close cousin of IBS and Crohn's disease. Having been told that he could never be well and that the only answer for the seriousness of his condition was surgery (which wouldn't ""cure"" him either), Guy Cohen defied conventional wisdom to create a new reality for himself and millions of others. Guy completed a 100% recovery from a so called incurable condition. ""Your Gut Feeling"" demonstrates step-by-step how this can be achieved by using your mind in a highly structured way that can be duplicated by anyone, in contrast to clinical theory that such a recovery was a ""statistical phenomenon."" With humor, high emotion and real entertainment, Guy Cohen tells his story as it happened, and as it happens to so many others without them even realizing it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Should be read by anyone with a body. . . . Relentlessly researched and undeniably smart." —The New York Times Named one of BuzzFeed's "Best Books of 2021" What Doesn't Kill You is the riveting account of a young journalist’s awakening to chronic illness, weaving together personal story and reporting to shed light on living with an ailment forever. Tessa Miller was an ambitious twentysomething writer in New York City when, on a random fall day, her stomach began to seize up. At first, she toughed it out through searing pain, taking sick days from work, unable to leave the bathroom or her bed. But when it became undeniable that something was seriously wrong, Miller gave in to family pressure and went to the hospital—beginning a years-long nightmare of procedures, misdiagnoses, and life-threatening infections. Once she was finally correctly diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, Miller faced another battle: accepting that she will never get better. Today, an astonishing three in five adults in the United States suffer from a chronic disease—a percentage expected to rise post-Covid. Whether the illness is arthritis, asthma, Crohn's, diabetes, endometriosis, multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, or any other incurable illness, and whether the sufferer is a colleague, a loved one, or you, these diseases have an impact on just about every one of us. Yet there remains an air of shame and isolation about the topic of chronic sickness. Millions must endure these disorders not only physically but also emotionally, balancing the stress of relationships and work amid the ever-present threat of health complications. Miller segues seamlessly from her dramatic personal experiences into a frank look at the cultural realities (medical, occupational, social) inherent in receiving a lifetime diagnosis. She offers hard-earned wisdom, solidarity, and an ultimately surprising promise of joy for those trying to make sense of it all.

Download or read book Total Recovery written by Gary Kaplan and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 100 million Americans live with some form of chronic pain—more than the combined number who suffer from diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. But chronic pain has always been a mystery. It often returns at the slightest provocation, even when doctors can't find anything wrong. Oddly enough, whether the pain is physical or emotional, traumatic or slight, our brains register all pain as the same thing, and these signals can keep firing in the nervous system for months, even years. In Total Recovery, Dr. Gary Kaplan argues that we've been thinking about disease all wrong. Drawing on dramatic patient stories and cutting-edge research, the book reveals that chronic physical and emotional pain are two sides of the same coin. New discoveries show that disease is not the result of a single event but an accumulation of traumas. Every injury, every infection, every toxin, and every emotional blow generates the same reaction: inflammation, activated by tiny cells in the brain, called microglia. Turned on too often from too many assaults, it can have a devastating cumulative effect. Conventional treatment for these conditions is focused on symptoms, not causes, and can leave patients locked into a lifetime of pain and suffering. Dr. Kaplan's unified theory of chronic pain and depression helps us understand not only the cause of these conditions but also the issues we must address to create a pathway to healing. With this revolutionary new framework in place, we have been given the keys to recover.
