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.

| Wow! Received this book in no time flat! Was very impressed with how quickly I received it. HOWEVER, the book comes from someone who smoked as it has a strong cigarette smell. I definitely do not like that. |

| My wife has just started to use the diet suggestions in Van Vorous' book. She hasn't followed the diet at 100% but even so she seems to have improvement in the level of her stomach aches. This is the first improvement she's had in years. |

This book did not work for me and the fiber supplement gave me terrible gas. Maybe it will work for you.
I give it 3 stars because there are some really good recipes in it. |

| I learned a lot from this book, that no doctor ever told me. I was dissapointed that the majority was recipes. It was not listed that way in the preview. Not sure I would have purchased had I realized that 3/4 of the book is recipes, mostly vegan. |

The information section of the book:
The information about IBS was very informative, but make sure to read several sources, as well as consulting with your own body before following a set of rules.
The recipes:
Every single recipe I've made from this book has been a success with the IBS and non-IBS crowd. My girlfriend is very picky with her sweets and non-traditional foods, but she has loved every recipe I've used from this book. That's saying a lot!
This book hasn't survived over 100 reviews with such a high rating by chance.
Highly recommended! |
