Synopsis

This book is based on new and additional information that was not available when the first book about Microscopic Colitis was published, and in some situations it expands on information that was presented in the first book in order to provide new insight into successful treatment methods. This edition looks at additional situations that might cause treatment failure in some cases, and it explores ways to overcome those obstacles. It is written with the understanding that the reader has already read and understands the information in the first book.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Wayne Persky was born, grew up, and currently lives in Central Texas. He is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, College of Engineering, with postgraduate studies in mechanical engineering, mathematics, and computer science. He has teaching experience in engineering, and business experience in farming and agribusiness. After the onset of severe digestive system and general health problems in the late 1990s, he went through extensive clinical testing, but the GI specialist failed to take biopsies during a colonoscopy exam, and even failed to test for celiac disease. Afterward, not surprisingly, he was told by his gastroenterologist that there was nothing wrong with him. Unable to find a medical solution, he was forced to use his research skills to discover innovative ways to resolve his health issues. After extensive study, he identified the likely source of the problem as food sensitivities triggered by the intestinal inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease. It took a year and a half of avoiding all traces of gluten, plus trial and error experimentation with other foods, and careful record-keeping, to track down all of the food issues. But once he eliminated all of them from his diet, he got his life back. Over 15 years later, he continues to actively study new medical research as it becomes available. He currently administrates an online microscopic colitis discussion and support forum where valuable real world information about living with the disease and controlling the symptoms is shared world-wide. He also founded and participates in the Microscopic Colitis Foundation.
