Product Description

Product Description

Twenty per cent of the UK population - 12 million people - suffer IBS-related symptoms, but they may be unaware that the simple elimination of starch from their diet can bring dramatic relief from pain and discomfort. In this revised edition, Carol Sinclair, a sufferer who has successfully overcome IBS and arthritic pain, brings you a revolutionary programme for a pain-free future. This practical guide will help millions to reduce their arthritic symptoms, whose pain to date has been relieved only by regular medication, with sometimes dangerous side effects. The diet shows that a gradual reduction of starch in one's diet can dramatically reduce pain in days, to a point where drug usage is reduced and, in some cases, eliminated completely. Details of the discovery - along with case histories and a practical guide - make Carol Sinclair's book a first in the world. The "IBS Low-Starch Diet" also contains over 200 delicious starch - and gluten-free recipes, along with a comprehensive guide to eating out.

About the Author

Carol Sinclair came to live in Britain in 1979 from her native New Zealand. Married twice with one daughter and three grandchildren, she lives in Wiltshire and Wellington. A writer of both fact and fiction, she has always believed that fact is stronger than fiction. The story of how she learned that her low-starch diet for IBS was, in fact, treating an arthritic condition she didn't even know she had, is an example. She worked in advertising, radio and television before becoming an author, and has published two adults novels, a biography of her husband Ray Harris Ching and a children's novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guidance for AS sufferers, 2 May 2001
By A Customer
Carol wrote this book not knowing she was actually suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis, though she does refer to the pains she had disappearing. It turns out that her diet is absolutely perfect for AS, as is explained by the web page (you really should read that too!). I have been following her diet now for 15 months, and my pain is completely gone. I know if I slip up on the diet though - the pain returns for a week or so.

If you have AS, do this diet. Don't cheat on it. You won't believe the difference it makes. Also, buy Elaine Gottschall's book, which contains a very similar diet, known as the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. "Breaking the Vicious Cycle : Intestinal Health Through Diet "

I don't know if this diet will help with all cases of IBS, however. It is possible that it will only help in cases of IBS which are related to one of the autoimmune conditions such as AS, Crohn's, Celiac, Ulcerative Colitis (although the diet is essentially the same, Elaine's book is targetted at the latter 3).

The recipes in this book and Elaine's book, combined, mean you never need to be bored with the food restrictions. There is plenty you can still eat, and food can still be interesting.

If you have Ankylosing Spondylitis, you MUST buy this book, and follow the diet strictly. You can be well! Allow at least a month before giving up, it can take a while to really notice the benefit. Note well what Carol says about sugar; don't try to cheat there either - it doesn't work (I tried).

Once you realise the strong association between starch and pain, you won't desire starchy foods again.

5.0 out of 5 stars CRITICAL for Everyone with IBS, AS, CD, RS, PsA, & c, 22 Aug 2003
By John N. Merchant (Anza, California USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is essential for those suffering with many different conditions, especially those related to the psoriatic arthritides, of which IBS may be just one symptom.

The mechanism is well explained in the foreword by Professor Alan Ebringer, one of the most respected and widely published research scientists, and patently the most effective clinician in treating ankylosing spondylitis successfully for the previous two decades.

The tremendous brilliance, however, is in the author's own story of discovery; totally independent of other successful regimens that work in the same way, if not as totally effective. And this, many years before being aware of Ebringer, et al. and the pathogen connection.

I have achieved spectacular results following Carol Sinclair's older version of this book, and this update is certainly worth having for all the new recipes, success stories, and great introduction. The diet recommended herein is sufficiently well-balanced in every aspect from fruitful fiber to very palatable proteins.

Now, I have become a hero to MANY people for recommending this book to them; IT WORKS!

Don't take the path I have trod before this dietary regimen (doctors and their poisons); avoid the damage and disfigurement from AS, the horror of psoriasis, and abject terror from Crohn's Disease. Reiter's Syndrome, and perhaps Behcet's Syndrome, chronic Ulcerative Colitis, IBD, etc, can each respond to this regimen. A panacea? Unlike the travelling medicine show, this hype is real.

I wish for the reader good health by any method of choice, but do not wait for any miracle; it is already here!

5.0 out of 5 stars The IBS Low Starch Diet, 13 Nov 2006
By J. C. Mcewen (new zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The IBS Low-starch Diet: Why Starchy Food May be Hazardous to Your Health (Paperback)
It can almost be classed as a miracle working diet.

Within days after suffering years of pain there is a dramtic reduction in pain after starting the low starch diet.

The author Carol who was a chronic pain sufferer discovered the link between pain and starch and has been pain free for over a decade.

since passing on the book to other people the letters I have received saying how the book has changed their lives is outstanding.

There are no side -effects to the diet - there are no drugs involved
and there is nothing to lose in trying the diet and a potentially a pain -free life to gain
