Product Description
IBS is one of our nation's most untalked-about ailments, but millions of people - mostly women - suffer from the debilitating condition, one that must be controlled primarily through diet. Contrary to what may sufferers believe, eating for IBS does not mean deprivation, never going to restaurants, boring food, or an unhealthily limited diet. It does mean cutting out such trigger foods as red meat, dairy, most fats, caffeine, alcohol, and insoluble fiber. Heather Van Vorous, who has suffered from IBS since age 9 and gradually learned how to control her IBS symptoms through dietary modifications, collects here 175 recipes she has created over 20 years. IBS sufferers will be thrilled to discover that they can enjoy traditional homestyle cooking, ethnic foods, rich desserts, snacks, and party foods - and don't have to cook weird or special meals for themselves while their families follow a "normal" diet. Eating with IBS will forever revolutionize the way people with IBS eat - and live.

 acupuncture gave me short term relief May 11, 2008

Hi,
Yes, many suggestions in this book works as prevention. But when IBS hits me, I finally found quick relief - via Acupuncture. Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sood listed Acupuncture as his top ten alternative medicine. Here is his write up: "In this treatment from traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncturists insert thin needles into strategic, energy-balancing points on the body. Acupuncture can prevent and treat nausea and vomiting and help relieve many types of pain, including that from osteoarthritis, low back pain, neck pain, headaches and postsurgical pain. Patients who receive acupuncture typically receive up to 12 treatments, usually given once or twice a week. " One word of advise - most acupuncturists are not good. Ours teach at a Eastern Medicine University in Sunnyvale, CA and he is honest and excellent.
 very helpful book April 19, 2008
This book was very helpful and had great ideas, some of the recipes are a little hard to make when you're in an area that doesn't have some of the ingredients but overall it gives you great ideas and really healthy recipes.
Eating for IBS April 4, 2008
Fantastic. I have been suffering with IBS for a long time. With this book, I have learned a lot. Many diets that I have been on, has not helped with having IBS. This book however, explains a lot of unanswered questions of how to regain my life back. As soon as I received the book, I started to read it. The receipes in the back are a bonus. One can even take this book on holiday with them to consult.
Very good resource for all IBS sufferers March 7, 2008

I own both books by this author and recommend both. I have suffered from IBS-A (but mostly C) for about 5 years. At the time, doctors had no clue about IBS or how to treat me so I took it upon myself to do some research. Immediately after reading the first few chapters of this book I literally broke down in tears. Finally, someone actually understood the emotional and physical pain I had been silently struggling with for years! The social anxiety and depression being worse sometimes than the physical pain itself! I've maintained a vegan version of the Eating for IBS diet the past 2 years and I rarely have major flare ups. If I do, peppermint tea and peppermint capsules (I use Pepogest) as the author suggests really does the trick! This book is more for those with IBS-D, but very useful to all IBS sufferers regardless. Though some of the recipes didn't work for my particular type of IBS - I can't do meat or dairy, I still feel very comfortable giving this book 5 stars. My Kaiser Permanente actually teaches straight out of this book in their IBS classes.
excellent book and recipes February 25, 2008
I've battled IBS since I was a kid and feel safe eating the foods recommended in this book. The recipes are good, the author provides good explanations and suggested changes, and they are easy to make. I've passed along several of the recipes to friends without IBS because the meals are so good!
