The IBS Elimination Diet and Cookbook The Low-FODMAP Plan for Eating Well and Feeling Great

FODMAP is the new health buzzword! An acronym for a group of difficult-to-digest carbohydrates found in wheat, milk, beans, and soy, as well as some fruits, veggies, nuts, and sweeteners ("fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols"), FODMAPs are the new rising trend for anyone looking to heal their gut, with tremendous chatter online and increasingly recommended by doctors and nutritionists. Originally self-published as IBS-Free at Last!, this is THE bible of the low-FODMAP lifestyle. The diet was originally developed by researchers at Monash University in Australia and offers relief to IBS sufferers (estimated 64 million in the US), as well as those with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and nonresponsive celiac disease. This book walks you through eliminating all FODMAPs and then adding them back in one by one to find out your unique sensitivity fingerprint. An expanded edition (now with 50 recipes) of the most firmly established low-FODMAP book, The IBS Elimination Diet and Cookbook offers the theory along with a step-by-step elimination program, comprehensive Q&A's, delicious recipes, and 25 4/C photos in an insert.
