Healthy Cooking for IBS: 100 Delicious Recipes to Keep You Symptom Free

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a somewhat vague and all-encompassing term, but to the 35 million Americans who suffer from it, it means specific and sometimes debilitating symptoms. So varied are these symptoms, though, that in 2004 alone, 281 different treatments were administered to remedy them. But one constant in all of these treatments was a change in diet, and here, finally, is the first cookbook ever to address the dietary demands of this common and chronic ailment.

Created by a chef/dietician team, Healthy Cooking for IBS offers more than 100 scientifically developed and tested recipes that help alleviate the symptoms of IBS but are tasty enough for everyone in the family to enjoy. With delicious recipes for breakfasts and breads, snacks and appetizers, soups and salads, main courses, and desserts; practical information on the causes and symptoms of the syndrome, as well as possible treatments; key nutritional and dietary recommendations; and helpful guidelines for meal planning, shopping, and eating out, this indispensable book will prove to be a godsend for all those who live with IBS.
