 Educational and good food! January 5, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is the first book I bought after I learned I had IBS. It doesn't try to be the end-all, be-all guide, but it does give some great guidelines on how to change your diet. (One of her rules that struck a chord with me: Never eat garlic and onions on an empty stomach!) On the food side, not all the recipes are simple. She also includes a lot of recipes for Asian dishes -- which some people, including my husband, aren't the biggest fans of. But two of the three recipes I tried turned out fantastic. I'd buy this for anyone with IBS.
Good Advise January 5, 2007

I read and re-read this book. Good advise - helped me through a very difficult time with IBS. Could not have eaten as much as I did without the advise and recipes here!!
 Suffering grad student January 4, 2007
When I started law school my IBS became severe. My already small list of edible foods became a lot smaller. This book was very helpful. The only caveat is that the food can be expensive and time-consuming to make, but some of the recipes are really easy and everything is delicious. There was only one recipe that I made that didn't taste fantastic (it was just ok). I made this food for friends of mine that don't have IBS and they loved the food, it is really good, seriously. I highly recommend it for anyone having trouble with IBS.
 Maybe for IBS, NOT for Chrohn's October 30, 2006
6 out of 15 found this review helpful
Good read, interesting. I have Crohn's Disease, and this is decidedly NOT a book for the type of Crohn's I have. Many of the recipes are not low residue, which is helpful for me. A word of caution--my doctor keeps insisting that I have to figure out what I can and can't eat, and in what quantities. Everyone's digestive disorder is different--at least no one in my CCFA group can eat some things I can, and I can eat some things they can't. I found the low residue information online much more helpful than this book, and IMHO I do not recommend it for anyone with a Crohn's stricture.
 Easier Recipes Needed October 16, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Hello-I really enjoyed reading this book. Heather's personal story and advice for IBS suffers is useful (at least for me). Although she does lay out the basic nutritional information on fiber and other trigger foods. Her recipes are far too complicated, I'm a graduate student with very little time for cooking. So the recipes are just too time consuming. I need easier and faster recipes. Some of the breakfast ideas fit into my lifestyle, but the dinners are complicated, although they sound delicious. Perhaps someday I will have time to try them. If Heather (the author) is reading this, please write a recipe book with easier and faster IBS safe recipes. I'd definately buy it! Thanks!
