Eating for IBS


Book Description

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.

IBS Diet


Book Description

This guide contains necessary information about the low-FODMAP diet that is becoming popular nowadays. This guide also suggests an effective low FODMAP diet program that will be beneficial to people with IBS and other digestive tract disorders. SIBO, which stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is a condition that results from too much bacterial growth in the gut. This condition causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal distention in an affected person. SIBO is believed to be one of the main causes of IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. IBS is a gastrointestinal disease that has similar symptoms to SIBO. IBS symptoms can cause anxiety and stress to a person which leads to overeating. Binge eating and stress eating can lead to high levels of FODMAPs—which stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols. FODMAPs are sugars or short-chain carbohydrates that are not easily absorbed in the small intestine. When they reach the large intestine, they accumulate gas and attract water which causes different symptoms. They can also produce toxic gasses such as methane and hydrogen that cause different IBS symptoms. This guide also provides up-to-date information about the low-FODMAP diet and how it should be implemented. This also includes low-FODMAP recipes and a meal plan that you can use while on the diet program. Follow the suggested information present in this guide to effectively manage your IBS symptoms. Most importantly, this guide will teach you to take good care of your body by establishing effective, beneficial, and healthy eating habits. When all else fails, consult your doctor. Keep in mind that IBS is a chronic condition that needs to be managed in the long term. What’s worse is that you may be experiencing it without any visible signs of damage in your digestive tract. Thus, you must find out as much as you can about this disease, its root cause, and how to prevent and manage it.
