<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Debra Boutin asks if anyone can recommend books on IBS. Below is a list that I recently copied from a Web page. I have ordered several, and believe that more than one has been referred to in recent postings in the alt.support.crohn's-colitis USENET group.
