Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Heather's diet, list of triggers, etc..

As far as I know, yes - the diet information on the Website is in the books (or vice versa, depending on how you look at it). I have both books. I find "The First Year" a more thorough explanation of IBS itself. It has all the diet information in it and lots of non-diet related helps (exercise, stress management, and so on). Besides all that, it's somehow very, very comforting. "Eating For IBS" is mostly recipes, but it does have a very tight, clean description of the diet guidelines in the first chapter. EFI also has the What To Eat When You Can't Eat Anything list - I don't think that's in The First Year.

My local library had "The First Year". Yours might also and/or it might have EFI, so you could take a look at them before you buy. You can also read parts of the books here:

The First Year

EFI

I think they're both definitely worth having.
