Colitiscope is an invaluable resource for IBD patients and medical professionals. As a surgeon, I found it a humorous and accessible way to gain a patient's perspective on this disease.

Colitiscope should be read by everyone affected by a chronic disease - patients, families, friends and coworkers. It is informative and touching, and best of all, laugh out loud funny. I can't wait to recommend it to friends, family and my patients.

This book will help a lot of people not feel so alone and shameful. It's like having a conversation with a close, trusted friend.

What the readers are saying...

Where was this book ten years ago when I needed it? When I was a freshman in college, I told my boyfriend that I had ulcerative colitis. Being the sensitive young man he was, he laughed and kept repeating, "Oh my god, you have bloody diarrhea? You have bloody diarrhea?"
I suppose it goes without saying that my feelings were quite bruised. If I had been armed with your book at the time I could have either clobbered him over the head with it or told him to read it and get a clue.
Colitiscope is a practical resource and a self-esteem booster all wrapped into one.

As a parent, I have watched and experienced my son's struggles with Crohn's disease, but reading your words gives me a better understanding. I can really relate as a loved one.
I think this is a great book that has never been written before and should be on the reading list of everyone with IBD - to realize there is still life after diagnosis. This is very practical, and all ages will find parts they can identify with. It's a quick read with lots of humor and smiles.
