IBD isn't a disease but rather the umbrella term for two major
intestinal disorders that might sound more familiar: ulcerative colitis
and Crohn's disease. Both deal with inflammation in the digestive tract
that can produce a wide range of unpleasant symptoms and lead to other
health conditions.
If you or a loved one are dealing with either of these conditions then
you probably know that trying to control flare-ups--which bring on the
symptoms--is the goal. Tessmer breaks down both of these conditions and
provides reliable and practical advice on how eating right can help.
Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Inflammatory Bowel Disease begins with
an overview of both of these conditions (as well as Irritable Bowel
Syndrome, or IBS), then guides you through diet recommendations that are
based on the latest medical information.
You will quickly learn what IBD is and what you can do to limit the
impact of unwanted symptoms. In addition, you'll get dozens of
mouthwatering recipes from knowledgeable RDs that will make implementing
the nutritional advice a bit easier.
