I wasn't sure if this little book was going to be a joke book of sick bathroom humor. TOTALLY not so!
The author, in a direct and sensitive way, discusses the reasons for constipation, the special circumstances for children and pregnant women, and the variety of available cures. Cures range from acupuncture to surgery and everything in between, including fiber supplements and prescription drugs.
The writing style is informational -- no corny jokes, personal anecdotes, or testimonials. The information is well-organized and clear. This is the kind of self-help book that a reader can return to over and over without it getting stale.
I highly recommend this book to people looking for answers either personally or for someone close to them.
