The Low-FODMAP Diet Cookbook

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR
THE LOW-FODMAP DIET COOKBOOK

“The recognition that FODMAPs are responsible for symptoms in many people with IBS was a major breakthrough in the management of IBS. IBS has been a daunting problem for patients and their physicians for years. We have seen many drugs and different dietary fads come and go. This solution for many patients with IBS is based on sound scientific and physiological mechanisms. Combined with good medical care that includes testing for celiac disease, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and fructose and lactose intolerance, the low-FODMAP diet can be individualized, liberalized, and tailored to each patient. In this book, Sue Shepherd provides a great deal of information on how to make the low-FODMAP diet a delight.”
