At the age of nineteen, author Tracie Dalessandro was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and eventually Crohn's disease. After years of trying to heal, Dalessandro realized the power of using diet in conjunction with traditional medicine to control her inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rather than allowing it to control her.

Dalessandro, a registered dietitian, shares her personal experience and expertise in this comprehensive guide, including tips on the following: * Foods that heal and foods that hurt * More than fifty nutrient rich, gut-friendly recipes * Menu planning, including healthy meals and snacks * What to eat when traveling and dining out * Critical vitamin and mineral deficiencies and how to correct them Practical and easy to follow, What to Eat with IBD, will help you feel better, reduce your symptoms, and gain control over your illness. About the Author Tracie Rendino Dalessandro is a registered dietitian with the American Dietetic Association and has her Master of Science degree in Nutrition from New York Medical College.

Excellent Resource for IBD patients 
I purchased this book for my 83-year-old mother, recently diagnosed with Crohn's. While the recipes are practical and easy to use, the clear discussion of the symptoms and implications of the diesease, and the tips on how to talk to your doctor about your symptoms and how to improve nutrient absorption, etc. are very helpful. It includes a discussion about the various types of treatments with drugs, diet, and surgery with all of the pros and cons of each. Highly recommended for families of patient as well as for patient.

Very informative guide
When my mother was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, I found this book extremely helpful. Not only does the author have ulcerative colitis herself, but she shares her knowledge as a professional. Recipes, rationale for what to eat and what not to eat; recommendations for nutritional supplements and specific vitamins are found within the pages of this informative book. This is a wonderful resource for anyone who has been diagnosed with or is caring for someone with IBD. I refer to this book almost daily!

Best resource yet on IBD!
I have found this the best resource thus far on IBD. My favorite part is that there are recipes to try not just suggestions of foods to eat. She also lists the vitamins that each meal contains. All the recipes are very simple- no more than 6-8 ingredients. These recipes are great and I have made almost all of them. I am having a lot of fun cooking and my family is eating very well. I also like how she lists foods that heal and foods that hurt. My son was diagnosed with UC 5 years ago and I have been looking for something like this. My prayers were finally answered.

book review
This book is definitively the best book on the subject of IBD and I have read several. The reason I gave this book 5 stars is because it explains everything you need to know in plain english and in a smooth order. I especially like the part on foods that hurt and foods that heal. How easy can it get. The recepies are outstanding and in keeping with ingredients that IBD sufferers need to stick to. An excellent read, not too lengthy on useless information like other books. If you just want to know what to eat with IBD then read this book. Highly recommended.

Very informative, helpful 
This book is very helpful and can give good information even if you have IBS, suggesting foods to eat, foods to avoid and giving information that doctors aren't helpful about. My personal non-medical opinion: if you have been checked out by doctors and they think you have IBD or IBS or even don't know the answer to your problems, try this book. The nutritional information is helpful.
