Healthy Eating for IBS is designed to help you understand
Irritable Bowel Syndrome and give you the practical know-how
to limit its impact.
The first part of the book looks at the prevalence of IBS
(up to 1 in 5 people in the UK are affected), its symptoms,
and the effect it can have on work and social life. A range of
treatments is considered including an in-depth analysis of how
eating patterns, meal timing and food affect IBS. Fibre is
thought to be a key issue and menu planners for low, medium
and high levels of fibre are given. The book also looks at the
benefits of complementary treatments such as probiotics,
prebiotics and aloe vera.
The second part of Healthy Eating for IBS provides over 100
recipes - all with calorie, fat and fibre information. Recipes
cover breakfasts, breads, soups, salads, starters, snacks,
main courses and puddings - so you won't be short of ideas for
something to eat. 'Chocolate Fridge Cake' looks especially
good, as does 'Duck Breast Salad with Endive and Blood
Oranges' - Enjoy!
