Gut Feelings: The Patient’s Story takes our knowledge about highly prevalent conditions such as IBS and other Disorders of Gut Brain Interaction further by learning from the patient's illness journey. This book offers a deeper dive into the experience of the illness through the patient’s perspective, giving their stories of illness and their experiences with the health care system. Additionally, we learn the key messages that helped them recover or learn to adapt to their illness. Through the use of patient narratives, we find quick connection for patients to identify with common experiences and take these lessons forward to their own medical care. These narratives are also a helpful tool for providers to learn the real world of patient illness experience and their role in improving clinical outcomes.

Gut Feelings: Social and Emotional Struggles with Crohn’s & Colitis is a groundbreaking book that examines the inner shame and isolation that many patients experience while coping with the ups and downs of Crohn’s and Colitis. It is based on more than 100 interviews with patients, parents, siblings and romantic partners. Gut Feelings describes the ways patients and their loved ones navigate Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), perhaps the most taboo chronic illness to talk about, because it involves the body’s waste disposal system. Gut Feelings dives into the realities of living with IBD. The author, who was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at 16, rode the same roller coaster with the illness as many of her interviewees and so has a first-hand perspective. If you have IBD, or live with someone who does, after reading Gut Feelings, you will feel less alone with your internal emotions, more connected, and more willing to be open about your IBD. You will come away with renewed strength to contend with the feelings that naturally arise while coping with this arduous illness.

Gut Feelings For many years, Ulcerative colitis was a fact of life for our son, Sam. He began showing the disease's debilitating symptoms when he was 2 years and 8 months old. At first, the doctor said "Sam has a stomach flu virus. We see this every day. There is nothing to worry about. He will recover in a couple of days." Soon after we realized that Sam had a serious illness called ulcerative colitis and that its cause was unknown. Sam had several flare ups, many complications, and failed to respond to various medications. We were referred to several specialists and we moved to 4 states in less than 3 years looking for the doctor who could cure our son. Before Sam reached his 7th birthday, he was hospitalized 26 times, had general anesthesia 23 times, had endoscopic examination of his esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine 21 times, had several abdominal CT scans and radiographs, had two major surgeries averaging 41/2 hours each, had 5 blood transfusions, and countless doctor visits. We stayed with him in hospitals for so long that the hospitals almost felt like our home. Sam had countless blood drawings for laboratory tests and numerous intravenous sets, central lines, and stomach tubes for fluid therapy and feeding. Doctors initially tried treating Sam's illness with steroids and anti-inflammatory medications, but none had a lasting effect. He was on several medications for several years. Sam experienced serious side effects of these medications such as impaired growth in height and weight, facial and body hair growth, moon face, and mood changes. He did not grow even an inch in height in 5 years. He also became severely immunosuppressed because of these medications and contracted chickenpox, episodes of high fever, and repeated attacks of colds. Doctors tried juggling his medications for more than 4 years but by March 30, 2001, they had run out of options. We finally accepted the fact that there would be no resolution to Sam's aggressive illness except surgery. Doctors ended up removing his entire large intestine. He started doing much better soon after surgery. He gained weight, started to grow again, and his quality of his life improved tremendously. But he was not free of post-surgical complications. At the time of writing this book, Sam is 21 years old and seemed to appear healthy and to enjoy life. In spite of my medical background as a veterinarian, navigating his illness was very challenging. Any piece of information we received about his laboratory findings felt like a mental shock. This was particularly true during the first few weeks of trying to reach a diagnosis of his illness.Our nerves were in a constant status of high alert. I gathered tremendous information about the disease through searching scientific literature and kept extensive daily notes on his illness. Financially, this illness cost us thousands of dollars. This book was written with the following objectives: 1.By sharing our experience, feelings, and the story of our son who was literally ravaged by UC, we hope that patients suffering from this debilitating disease and their families will find this information useful and provide them with kind comfort and support. 2.Patients and their families can arm themselves with extensive and advanced information on UC clear and easy-to-understand language. 3.This book will empower patients and their families with up-to-date information on UC and advice on how to make better decisions about the various treatment options. 4.Real-life practical tips are listed on various aspects of the disease; such as how to choose the right doctor, how to deal with difficult moments at school or at work, how to make traveling easier with UC, how to make UC therapies affordable, how to deal with social challenges, how to lower the emotional impact, how to deal with stress and potential parental self-guilt, where to seek additional information about the disease, and much more.

Why the microbiome--our rich inner ecosystem of microorganisms--may hold the keys to human health. We are at the dawn of a new scientific revolution. Our understanding of how to treat and prevent diseases has been transformed by knowledge of the microbiome--the rich ecosystem of microorganisms that is in and on every human. These microbial hitchhikers may hold the keys to human health. In Gut Feelings, Alessio Fasano and Susie Flaherty show why we must go beyond the older, myopic view of microorganisms as our enemies to a broader understanding of the microbiome as a parallel civilization that we need to understand, respect, and engage with for the benefit of our own health.

An examination of the contemporary medicalization of death and dying that calls us to acknowledge instead death's existential and emotional realities. Death is a natural, inevitable, and deeply human process, and yet Western medicine tends to view it as a medical failure. In their zeal to prevent death, physicians and hospitals often set patients and their families on a seemingly unstoppable trajectory toward medical interventions that may actually increase suffering at the end of life. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series examines the medicalization of death and dying and proposes a different approach--one that acknowledges death's existential and emotional realities. The authors--one an academic who teaches and studies end-of-life care, and the other a physician trained in hospice and palliative care--offer an account of Western-style death and dying that is informed by both research and personal experience. They examine the medical profession's attitude toward death as a biological dysfunction that needs fixing; describe the hospice movement, as well as movements for palliative care and aid in dying, and why they failed to influence mainstream medicine; consider our reluctance to have end-of-life conversations; and investigate the commodification of medicine and the business of dying. To help patients die in accordance with their values, they say, those who care for the dying should focus less on delaying death by any means possible and more on being present with the dying on their journey.
