Eating for IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

"After having crippling pain and terrible constipation I really didnt know what to do. I went onto her Heathers website and she gave me tips on what to do immediately.. peppermint tea which worked so well and the other foods to take when you dont have no disire to eat anything as the uncomfortableness is so bad. The book arrived in two days and I feel so happy now the bloated ness has gone ... I had no idea about insoluble and soluble foods and thought I was eating a healthy diet... I was, but eating the wrong way. It's made an incredible difference to my whole attitide about food and my body .... thank you so much. Wish I had read the review before i bought the books as Healthy eating for Ibs and healthy cooking for Ibs are the same books ... different covers. Hope this helps someone."

"This book is good however if you live in the UK you will have to adapt the ingrediants as they are very american! The information on IBS is very good, it answers many questions that people have and I understand the disorder more now. A good read just a shame the ingrediants are not easy to get hold of!"

""Eating for IBS"gives a new revolutionary diet for managing Irritable Bowel disease.It also has dietary advice for sufferers of Lactose Intolerance,Chrohns disease,Ulcerative colitis and other digestive disorders.The basic strategy is to develop "a new way of eating and "a new way to live".All the recipes have a nutritional analysis per serving of calories,protein,carbohydrate and fat.The food ingredients do tend to be "Americanised"but I`m sure can be found or adapted if necessary.I like the explanation of speciality ingredients- mirin and pepitas. Some of my favourite recipes are- Jamaican Chicken with ginger chutney,Strawberry daiquiris,sweet Cinnamon,Zucchini bread and Cloud lemon Angel food cake.Recipes include beverages,snacks,breakfasts,breads,main courses mainly with chicken and lovely desserts.One bonus is a sample weeks menu to try whilst making your mind up what else to try.

It is a lovely book and the cover really says it all.It is a joy to use.The writer is a food writer specialising in recipes for people with bowel disorders.Thanks Heather"
