Publisher's Synopsis
FODMAPs are carbohydrates that are not properly absorbed in the small intestine by people with digestive difficulties such as IBS, Crohn's Disease, and Colitis. Once these carbohydrates reach the large intestine, they cause many uncomfortable symptoms such as gas, bloating, and pain.The low-FODMAP diet is the long-awaited answer. In clinical trials, over three quarters of people with chronic digestive symptoms gain significant relief by reducing their intake of FODMAPs-difficult-to-digest carbs found in foods such as wheat, milk, beans, soy, and certain fruits, vegetables, nuts, and sweeteners.The book includes a low-FODMAP eating plan that explains in detail which foods are not allowed and why. These recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are so simple and delicious, they'll appeal to the whole family.The book offers evidence that supports the use of the LOW-FODMAP Diet to manage digestive symptoms, especially IBS.
