 Valuable information, she's been there November 24, 2007
I loved the first 30 pages of this book, it gave so much insight and valuable information about what to stay away from, what foods triggered attacks, and what you can eat.
You can tell she's been through it all. Her descriptions of IBS, I feel like she's talking about me.
A lot of the recipes are a little bit hard, especially the soups and main dishes. I can't find catfish anywhere her, or harissa. There are a lot of odd and hard to find ingredients. I suppose I could substitute, but then with IBS, that detracts from the main point of finding out what your body can handle and not handle.
Using her information on eating only egg whites, french bread, and watching soluble and insolube fat intake. I have thankfully not suffered an attack in a week.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with IBS, just for the first 30 pages alone.
 A Wonderful Book --Delicious Recipes!!! October 7, 2007
Thank You Heather from the bottom of my heart!! I have suffered for 50 years not knowing what was wrong with me. Now thanks to Heather, her wonderful cookbook and her website (helpforibs.com)I know I am not alone and I am feeling better everyday plus I have lost 30lbs without even trying. If only the Medical Community would wake up and listen to their patients so many would not have to suffer anymore!
 Good guide, but the recipes are too time consuming September 24, 2007

I bought this book after reading the guidelines on the author's website. I'm a college student who was just recently diagnosed, so I was looking for recipes I could make for my new lifestyle. From what I tried, and from reading through the rest of the recipes, it's all very time consuming. Her suggestions aren't very practical for the average American.
For example, I made Will's Lemony Rice Pudding... it took me a few hours to make, and required my constant attention. She suggests to make a double batch to eat through out the entire week, and hyped the recipe up to being this delicious pudding. I found it bland, couldn't even figure out how to improve it, and I didn't even eat it all.
If you're looking for a diet to relieve your ibs symptoms, just follow what's on her site. Don't bother to buy the book, there's plenty of pre-existing recipes that already follow the guidelines, or ones you can change slightly. Just get the basics down, and you're good to go.
If anything, request the book from your local library system for the more detailed guidelines and a few recipes.

I found this book to be helpful to me. It made me feel as if I'm not alone in this battle against IBS. It also helped me to understand that doctors do not have all the answers. I've had IBS for over 20 years - and it changes all the time. Some things I can only eat every once in awhile, others not more than two times in a row. I still make mistakes on my eating habits - it is a changing process and it can be depressing. I try and eat only those things that agree with me and my bowels. :)
