The Complete Guide to Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: A Road Map to Long-Term Healing

A diagnosis of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis can feel daunting at first. There is no clearly defined path that newly diagnosed people should follow and therein lies the author's motivation for this book. Alexa Federico has lived with Crohn's disease since she was an adolescent and has learned that living well with IBD requires a look into the person as a whole, not just a narrow view of the disease.

Having been diagnosed with Crohn's disease when she was still a child, Alexa Federico has experience with Crohn's disease for more than 10 years from childhood through adulthood. She experimented with several types of medicine in order to find the disease management strategies that worked for her, and she continues to do so today. After seeing great results implementing diet and lifestyle changes, she earned her Nutritional Therapy Practitioner certification. Alexa works with her clients to reveal the connections between food and lifestyle choices and health.
