The Low-FODMAP Recipe Book: Relieve Symptoms of IBS, Crohn's Disease & Other Gut Disorders in 4–6 Weeks

Product Information

While this is an excellent book for beginners, it might not inspire those looking to expand their recipe repertoire.

I ask myself all the tough questions… these recipes are like my babies and I try to love them all equally! This book is for the second phase of the low-FODMAP diet, ‘reintroduction’ or the FODMAP ‘challenge’ phase. Alana was the first FODMAP blog that I found when I started my own FODMAP journey and I was so grateful for the delicious recipes and accurate information that she shared. The Low-FODMAP Cookbook by Diane Fastenow Benjamin is a well-rounded collection of American home cooking recipes. The practicality of the diet is then broken down into 5 steps that offers good advice on how to tackle the diet.

A low-FODMAP diet is the simplest and most effective way to manage irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and a range of other dietary intolerances. In this book I'll explain how FODMAP friendly living works, and share my favourite recipes with you. Among the recipes, you'll find sweet orange chicken wings and berry pavlova, so even if you're gluten-free and sticking to low-FODMAP cooking, you can enjoy the most delectable dinners and desserts! The recipes balance vital carbs, protein, vitamins and plant fats to create a well-rounded menu as filling as it is delicious.

This book is one of the few books that should be part of your arsenal on your low FODMAP diet journey. You'll find healing recipes such as cranberry and almond granola, grilled swordfish with pineapple salsa and pumpkin-spiced cupcakes!I also recommend her “IBS Elimination Diet, (2017)” for a highly scientific and thorough explanation of the low-FODMAP way of life.

The only downside is that it contains fewer recipes than some of our other picks, hence why it's a little further down on our list. Our Low FODMAP Diet Cookbooks are made for the average individual - you don’t have to be a chef to make great meals that are both FODMAP friendly and delicious.My partner, Toby, would say I’m obsessed with them and will happily stop strangers in the street to see if I can pat them (the dog not the human). This is a cookbook how I like to see them best: with beautiful pictures and lots of different inspiring recipes.
