The essential dietary guide and cookbook for people with irritable
bowel syndrome and other gastrointestinal disorders--with hundreds of
low-fat recipes to ease the effects of IBS, lactose intolerance, Crohn's
Disease, ulcerative colitis, and other digestive conditions
Irritable bowel syndrome is one of our nation's most untalked-about
ailments, but millions of people - mostly women - suffer from the
debilitating condition, one that must be controlled primarily through
diet. Contrary to what many sufferers believe, eating for IBS does not
mean deprivation, never going to restaurants, boring food, or an
unhealthily limited diet. It does mean cutting out such trigger foods as
red meat, dairy, most fats, caffeine, alcohol, and insoluble fiber.
Heather Van Vorous, who has suffered from IBS since age 9 and gradually
learned how to control her IBS symptoms through dietary modifications,
collects here 175 recipes she has created over 20 years. Those suffering
from IBS, lactose intolerance, Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis, and
other digestive disorders will be thrilled to discover that they can
enjoy traditional homestyle cooking, international foods, rich desserts,
snacks, and party foods - and don't have to cook weird or special meals
for themselves while their families follow a "normal" diet. Eating for
IBS will forever revolutionize the way people with IBS eat--and live.
