IBS Free At Last! by Patsy Catsos
Oct. 30th, 2014 10:14 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
IBS should not make you skip a beat – get your groove back!
Tired of missing the fun because of your irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)? Confused about what to eat? Think you’re the only one who feels miserable while eating healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, beans and yoghurt? You are not alone. IBS affects up to 15% of teens and adults.
If you could get your groove back in just a few weeks by trying a new kind of diet, would you do it?
High-fiber diets for IBS are old school. It’s time you learned about FODMAPs!
IBS - Free At Last! has the latest on how foods you eat can cause your IBS symptoms. Registered dietitian Patsy Catsos spells out a diet program to help you find your FODMAP food triggers. Thousands of readers of the first edition of IBS - Free At Last! were the first to benefit.
Now it’s your turn.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
If you suffer from IBS then you already know that certain foods can aggravate your condition, so this book can help you to bottom out which foods work as triggers. However, it is a US focused book and US food labelling is different to that in the UK, which made it difficult to stick with it and there are a number of inconsistencies within the diet that aren’t explained. I’d recommend giving it a go because there’s nothing to lose but I think to really get the best out of the diet you need to sit down with a UK nutritionist and adapt this to the UK food market.
