Product Description:
If you are one of the millions of people suffering from IBS, immediate help is finally at hand. Contrary to what many believe, eating for IBS does not mean deprivation, never going to restaurants, boring food, or a limited and therefore unhealthy diet. It does mean learning to eat safely by realizing how different foods physically affect the GI tract, and how these foods can prevent or trigger IBS. For example:
* There are two kinds of fiber...one soothes the colon but the other can cause severe attacks
* Dairy is a common trigger...even in people who are not lactose intolerant
* Peppermint, chamomile, and fennel can prevent attacks better than some prescription drugs
* Bland foods are not automatically safe foods
In Eating for IBS, Heather Van Vorous, who has suffered from IBS for over 20 years and gradually learned to control her symptoms through dietary modifications, offers sympathetic suggestions tailored specifically to the needs of IBS sufferers that are based on first-hand experience as well as nutritional research. She provides a comprehensive overview of IBS, explicit eating and cooking strategies, travel and restaurant advice, daily menus, supermarket ideas, and 175 gourmet recipes. IBS sufferers will be thrilled to discover that they can enjoy traditional homestyle cooking, ethnic foods, rich desserts, snacks, and party foodsand dont have to cook unusual or special meals for themselves while their families follow a "normal" diet. Eating for IBS will forever revolutionize the way people with IBS eatand live.

- great book
i have been having digestive issues for years and have tried everything. the low fat, dairy-free, with soluble fiber has been the ticket! the only down side is there are a lot of meat recipes and dessert recipes. all in all, a great find for me!

Mas hacia delante, cuando las lleve a cabo comentare de nuevo.

Rating: - Very Helpful
This is a great book. The author has enough medical information to steer you to a doctor. I was diagnosed with IBS after about eight years of suffering. The simple act of adding a fiber supplement in the morning has made a huge difference for me. The recipes are also good, and inspire other recipes.
