Digestive ailments, whether mild or life-threatening, are a major
concern for millions of people--and they can be difficult to
diagnose and treat. Now, in this essential reference book, Dr. Paul
Miskovitz, a physician at one of the world's top medical
institutions, helps you understand the causes, symptoms, diagnoses,

disorders--everything from heartburn to IBS to hepatitis C.



This comprehensive, user-friendly guide begins with an overview of
how your gastrointestinal system works and how it is affected by
lifestyle, age, and emotions. Dr. Miskovitz then explains the
disorders that can affect your esophagus, stomach, intestine,
gallbladder, liver, pancreas, colon, and abdominal
cavity--revealing how to identify and treat problems and, in most
cases, prevent them. You'll also learn how to:

* Maintain a healthy gastrointestinal system through diet,
exercise, checkups, and screenings

* Find the right gastroenterologist for you

* Identify symptoms and get an accurate diagnosis

* Prevent gastrointestinal problems when you travel
