a godsend,

This review is from: Eating Right For a Bad Gut (Paperback)
Thanks to the dietary recommendations in this book and a probiotic supplement,my IBD symptoms have virtually disappeared! I feel great! I can go out in public without fear of an unexpected "backdoor eruption."

Should be on the bookshelf of every IBD patient,

This review is from: Eating Right For a Bad Gut (Paperback)
This should be the second book you buy after you get a good overview book on IBD (I recommend Cliff Kalibjian's). Once you know the details of your disease, you want to know what you should and shouldn't eat, which supplements you should take, etc. and this book addresses those questions. It discusses why you should still be eating vegetables (just make sure they're well-cooked!), avoiding red meat, and eating plenty of fish. Also make sure you are getting your soluble fiber. I like how he makes it clear that changing your diet won't "cure" your condition (anyone who says otherwise is a quack), but that you can ameliorate many of your symptoms. And he provides references to studies and research that verify his statements. An important addition to any IBD patient's bookshelf.

The best help an IBD patient can get,

This review is from: Eating Right For a Bad Gut (Paperback)
When I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease I wanted to know exactly what I was facing. Initially I met with frustration, as my doctor could not give me straight answers about the disease itself or the medications that might help me. Purchasing this book was an integral step in my self-education about this disease. This book gave me the answers I was looking for. In layman's terms it details the mechanics of the digestive system. It suggests what to eat and what not to eat, yet it reminds the reader that every person is an individual and therefore each diet will require slight modifications depending on food tolerances. This book is not a panacea for IBD, however it can help a patient manage his/her condition and improve the quality of life dramatically. It can also help lower the need for medications. I wholeheartedly give this book my highest recommendation.
