June 15, 2000: This book was the answer to all of my stomach problems. I read all of the book then focused on my specific problem. Dr. Berkson's book addressed my problem and then offered solutions. I tried the recommendations and within 3 weeks, I was feeling so much better. My particular problem has been ongoing for about 3 or 4 years. After trying over the counter products for years, I did as Dr. Berkson suggested...started drinking alot more water, eating yogurt, taking glutamine, fiber pills, and Vitamin B1. I added this to my regimen of exercise, multi-vitamins, vitamin E, vitamin C, Folic Acid, and Calcium. The results are that I feel and look so much better. I have gained some of my weight back, I have more energy to deal with everyday life stresses, and as an added bonus, my skin looks much better. I just cannot express how much reading Dr. Berkson's book has changed my life and health for the better. I have consulted other physicians and endured several tests without improvement. Now, with these simple offers, I am feeling young and renewed. Also, most of the recommendations are not expensive or life-altering. As a nurse, I appreciate the fact that Dr. Berkson recommends consulting a physician in conjunction with her treatment plan...especially if her home rememdies are not producing results. If you have suffered as I have with stomach ailments, you must purchase this book, read it, and take the steps that will make you not only feel better, but look better, too.
