| diet info not that accurate |
| I think I'd just shoot myself and get it over with if I really had to the unhealthy diet suggested in the book. I know I wouldn't feel good with white rice and white bread as the main part of my meals. Thank goodness my diet doesn't have to be that drastic. |

Hi Susan - Please don't feel this way - the IBS diet is not actually drastic at all, especially once you get yourself a bit stable. It's a very healthy, plant-based high soluble fiber diet that is meant to carefully incorporate as much insoluble fiber as you can tolerate. While white rice and white breads (or pasta, barley, quinoa, cornmeal, root veggies, etc.) are the safe soluble fiber foundations, you use them to keep your gut stable while you carefully add insoluble fiber foods (fruits and veggies, some whole grains, nuts, etc.) You can also have seafood, skinless white meat poultry, egg whites, and more.
The First Year IBS book has a concise dietary chapter and a small menu section, but Eating for IBS is the book that takes the IBS diet and shows how wide-ranging and delicious IBS recipes can be. It's really not difficult to cook around the IBS diet triggers and avoid them completely, and still have healthy and appealing meals and snacks. That point was actually the driving force behind Eating for IBS in the first place. I was determined to be able to eat safely and keep my IBS under control, while still being able to cook and eat fantastic foods, from all-American to ethnic options to great desserts. No one should ever feel deprived or unhealthy with an IBS diet - there are too many tips and tricks and substitutions to let you have great food that will still keep your gut calm.
Please let me know if you have any questions at all about this. I actually just put up IBS cooking show videos on YouTube that might help - there are recipes for lemon herb fish with rice, garden veggie nachos, blueberry pecan French toast, and more.
Best,
Heather

| Excellent Information |
| IBS is so frustrating because the medical community seems clueless as to how to help patients. I actually gave my Gastro Dr the website information so they can pass it along to other patients. This book is full of usefull information on how to get your life back. |
