Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Nutrition You Can Live With (Tell Me What to Eat)

Rating:
Summary: same ole, same ole
Review: I am so tired of reading IBS books that promise to help and don't deliver. The book had the standard "eat bran" and "keep a food diary" advice that my doctor gave. This doesn't help me. I also don't want recipes for hamburgers and alfredo sauce when I KNOW that high fat foods make me sick. The author claims she has IBS but if she eats the way this book suggests I doubt it. I didn't learn anything new or helpful for controlling my symptoms.

Summary: The last reviewer obviously didn't read this book!
Review: I am the author of this book and I have the diarrhea type of IBS so I know that I took care to consider this type of IBS while writing this book. I also incorporated the latest information available while researching the book. The way this book series is structured, it answers the most common questions and concerns people have about the disease or syndrome in the first few chapters...and we do it in language that everyone can understand. Writing and researching this book helped me and my IBS tremendously and I hope the information can get to others too!

Summary: Very useful guide
Review: I have IBS/D and I found this book to be a very useful guide. It helped me to realize that I had been eating foods that were hurting me. The list of gassy foods is especially on-point and the most comprehensive one that I've seen yet. I've followed the recommendations in this book closely and noticed a marked difference in how I feel. A great guide to keep on hand in your kitchen.

Summary: Finally-A book that makes sense!!
Review: I was recently diagnosised with IBS. My doctor was kind enough to provide a "variety" of material on the management of the condition. After reading the things the doctor provided I was still in confusion. Now, after reading this book I have gleaned a practical understanding of the disease AND IMPOWERED myself so that I am the one in control-NOT the disease. I am providing my doctor with 5 of these books so she can have a comprehensive manual for future reference and for other patients.

Summary: Very useful guide
Review: This book focuses too much on just fiber and not enough on the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber and even a low-fat meal can be a deadly combination for an IBS sufferer. The recipes that the author considers invaluable for an IBS diet contain fat that is far in excess of what I could tolerate. I have a master's degree in nutrition and have also studied food chemistry and baking properties. There are other alternatives to the relativly high-fat and high insoluble fiber that this author recommends.
