Dietary strategies and delicious recipes that help manage inflammatory bowel disease.
Good nutrition is a top priority for people living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and also for their families and friends. There is often a fear of trying new foods, as well as other concerns. Is a current diet appropriate? Can the usual foods purchased at the grocery store still be part of the daily diet?
Crohn's and Colitis Diet Guide addresses these concerns and more. The authors explain how nutrition plays a central role in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and discuss the importance of maintaining general health during times of disease activity and periods of remission. They also show how a person's nutritional status affects immunity, wound-healing and other physiological processes. Reliable, well-researched dietary advice combined with 150 outstanding recipes provides a crucial resource for those managing IBD.
Although good nutrition does not cure IBD, and although -- with certain exceptions -- nutritional therapy does not always control disease flares, good nutrition is important for health maintenance, symptom management and well-being.

So glad I found it,
This review is from: Crohn's and Colitis Diet Guide: Includes 150 Recipes (Paperback)
The information was well organized, easy to follow and invaluable to myself, newly diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Self-management of diet is essential in controlling the condition. I know it would have taken me longer to get on the right path if I hadn't found this book. A wonderful bonus is the recipes, so good that I have been passing some on to friends.

A lot of good information, but...,

This review is from: Crohn's and Colitis Diet Guide: Includes 150 Recipes (Paperback)
This book has a lot of good nutritional information that someone with Crohn's or Colitis needs to be aware of, in a very readable format. However, some of the recipes sound questionable for people with these conditions. My family members with Crohn's and colitis cannot tolerate foods with chili powder, peppers, etc. Some of the recipes use these type of ingredients, but you can modify them to suit your individual needs. All in all, a good nutritional book for Crohn's & colitis.

I have this cookbook and there are many fantastic recipes. What I love the most is that the recipes are very simple and anyone can make them. I have already tried a few and have others marked to try very soon. I would highly recommend this cookbook.
