If you've been diagnosed - or think you might be soon - with ulcerative colitis, you will know that it has symptoms which can be painful, disruptive and frequently embarrassing. Although a common condition, it is one not often talked about, which makes the practical advice given in this handbook even more indispensable.

In Coping Successfully with Ulcerative Colitis, Peter Cartwright offers clear, accessible information about the condition. He outlines the causes and explains which diagnostic tests are necessary and what treatments are available. The book also gives helpful strategies for self-management through diet and other lifestyle changes. Should surgery become necessary, there is step-by-step guidance on to what to expect, both during a hospital stay and afterwards, and reassuring insights on adjusting to a stoma.

This practical, readable and clinically comprehensive book will reassure you or your loved one, offering an opportunity to live life to the full, free from the limitations imposed by ulcerative colitis.

Peter Cartwright has 17 years' experience of working for patient and self-help associations, including as Assistant Director of the National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease. He is a former Trustee of the
Bladder and Bowel Foundation, the main UK charity providing information and support to people with diverticular disease. Peter has an MSc in Microbiology, a BSc in Biomedicine and an MA in Sociology, and
is the author of Coping Successfully with Ulcerative Colitis (Sheldon Press) and Probiotic Allies: How to maximise the health benefits of your microflora (Prentice Publishing). Peter is married with two grown-up children and two
grandchildren.
