This book was quite informative, and presented the information in a way that even a 5th grader could understand it. I really disliked the "textbook" style of questions at the end of each chapter..."What Have We Learned". It felt like an elementary school workbook. (

Fairly easy to read. Would have probably been more interesting if I was dealing with Crones. (

Easy to read and very informative. It's a great addition my school library. It provides an alternative treatment for those with Crohn's and other IBS problems, but it doesn't give recommendations on how to embark on an all-liquid diet for the necessary time. It would be good to include a variety of liquid supplements for those choosing this path of recovery. (

My Crohn's disease is under control thanks to my drug regimen, for the moment, but it is always useful to have a back up plan and I always appreciate understanding more about the disease. I do, however, think it would be quite impossible for me to switch to liquid foods, especially as it seems one facet of my particular form of Crohn's is an intolerance for various food chemicals, preservatives, colorings, flavorings and so on. It's very hard to find liquid supplements that do not have these ingredients. If nothing else, it is great to have another source, another reference for research. (

Good book that explains Crohn's in an easy-to-understand manner. Very informative and answers a lot of the misconceptions. (

Beat Crohn's! Getting to Remission with Enteral Nutrition describes a strikingly effective dietary treatment for Crohn's disease that has been nearly forgotten in the US. The treatment involves using special liquid formulas (referred to as "enteral nutrition") instead of, or in addition to, regular food and beverages in order to induce and maintain remission.

Enteral nutrition has been used by people with Crohn's since 1969 and has been tested in numerous clinical studies. Beat Crohn's describes who can benefit from enteral nutrition, why patients might want to use it, what symptoms respond best, and how it compares with medications. Readers will also find practical tips on using enteral nutrition and stories of kids and adults who have tried it.

Special features include a chapter on enteral nutrition in children, and another for people with ulcerative colitis, indeterminate colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome who have questions about enteral nutrition. In the last chapter, the author explores the latest research on supplements and special diets for people with Crohn's (fish oil, probiotics, and more!).
