About this title

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.

About the Author

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 was unable to diagose the problem. 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 search the medical literature in order 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. After tracking down all his food sensitivities and eliminating them from his diet, he was able to get 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. He also founded the Microscopic Colitis Foundation, and he is a regular contributor to the newsletter published by the organization.
