I was completely ready for that book to change my life after reading so many glowing testimonials. It did nothing, though I felt worse after reading it a few times, because it was supposed to be so transformative.

I guess the mind-body prescription isn't prescribed for celiac disease or my other health issues, because finding out that I had those conditions was the key, not Dr. Sarno's advice.

Sarno's book didn't help me either. I wasn't even sure what the point was, until I watched a documentary called "All the Rage" (available on Amazon Prime in the US) on Sarno and his method, which at least clarified the whole thing for me.

One of the things Sarno advises before taking him on is that every other medical condition that could possibly be relevant has been investigated and ruled out.
