Product Description
IBS 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 may 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. IBS sufferers will be thrilled to discover that they can enjoy traditional homestyle cooking, ethnic 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 with IBS will forever revolutionize the way people with IBS eat - and live.

 4.5 stars - A top rating for reducing IBS August 31, 2008
It is about 70% for attacks of IBS when it comes to food for me; however that 70% is reducing. This IBS cookbook was a blessed find and money well spent. The recipes range from 'everday' meals to fancy dishes when having company.
Some recipes I have tried and absolutely melt for are:
- Louisiana Barbecued 'Catfish' sandwiches. (I followed the recipe and used the sauce on Tuna filets. Not a catfish person - those are 2 animals that should not cross breed)
- Jamaican Chicken with Ginger Peach Dressing (yum)
- Gingerbread
- Fettucine with Creamy Butternut Squash Sauce
The recipes are neutral, for additional special needs. They call for Soy based products, which is an added bonus for milk allergy.
The recipes are sometimes time consuming, but indeed, worth the effort. Having a guide with IBS friendly food allows for your own personal creativity.

This book can give hope to people suffering from IBS. It is full of useful tips and guidance for a pain-free life. The recipes are fantastic and it certainly helps that the author herself suffers from IBS. Since I've read it and have been following the strict diet, I have been a lot healthier and happier. It is better to follow a strict diet and be healthy than to think you're eating "whatever you want" and being sick all the time. Even though the IBS diet is strict, this book has converted many fabulous recipes with safe alternative ingredients-- the meals are safe and taste great too!
 acupuncture gave me short term relief May 11, 2008

Hi,
Yes, many suggestions in this book works as prevention. But when IBS hits me, I finally found quick relief - via Acupuncture. Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sood listed Acupuncture as his top ten alternative medicine. Here is his write up: "In this treatment from traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncturists insert thin needles into strategic, energy-balancing points on the body. Acupuncture can prevent and treat nausea and vomiting and help relieve many types of pain, including that from osteoarthritis, low back pain, neck pain, headaches and postsurgical pain. Patients who receive acupuncture typically receive up to 12 treatments, usually given once or twice a week. " One word of advise - most acupuncturists are not good. Ours teach at a Eastern Medicine University in Sunnyvale, CA and he is honest and excellent.
very helpful book April 19, 2008
This book was very helpful and had great ideas, some of the recipes are a little hard to make when you're in an area that doesn't have some of the ingredients but overall it gives you great ideas and really healthy recipes.
Eating for IBS April 4, 2008
Fantastic. I have been suffering with IBS for a long time. With this book, I have learned a lot. Many diets that I have been on, has not helped with having IBS. This book however, explains a lot of unanswered questions of how to regain my life back. As soon as I received the book, I started to read it. The receipes in the back are a bonus. One can even take this book on holiday with them to consult.
