A valuable resource to dietitians and other health professionals who care for patients with IBD.--Cathy Alberda, MSc, RD "Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada "
Product Description
"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.

Found this book really helpful as my partner suffers with crohn's and we were given little to hno help by the hospital and by his doctors about what to eat, apart from a dreadful diet sheet from the hospital, have had no problems sourcing ingredients most stuff we have got from sainsburys and some stuff from holland and barrett. A great guide to get us started on what was better for him to have without him missing out on nutritional value. Yes only to be used as a guide, we have to following the "low residue" diet bit in it which involves eated soluable fibre but not insoluable which has been working really well for my partner. I love the muffin recipes in the book to and I have enjoyed alot of the recipes to and so has our daughter.

Everyone's experience of IBD seems to be different so I have found it difficult to find any effective guidance on diet, as the wife of an acute Crohn's sufferer, to ensure that what we're serving up is going to help rather than hinder.
The other multitude of books in my "Crohn's library" all seem to contain conflicting advice, and some even recommend ingredients which really should be avoided altogether, particularly during a flare-up.
This book is different in that it really fits with my husband's illness, and it provides medical explanations for it's recommendations. It has enabled me to cook with confidence a far greater variety of food than we had felt safe to enjoy previously. It also provides some really useful tips for how to modify other recipes and make some potentially aggravating ingredients safer.
Some of the ingredients are American (or are given American names), but I've not come across anything that can't be found or replaced easily.
Following the advice in this book has had an amazingly positive impact on my husband's condition - I wish I had found it as soon as he was diagnosed and saved myself a lot of worry (and money wasted on other books), and him a lot of discomfort!

A good basic guide to the nutrition for colitis and crohn's sufferers.
The recipes, however, are aimd at the American market, so sourcing some of the ingredients may be a little difficult.
Overall, the book is a very helpful addition for the bookshelf for both the patient and health professional providing it is used as a guide only!
