Description
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. Nutrition became the link between feeling sick and feeling well.

What to Eat with IBD: A Comprehensive Nutrition and Recipe Guide for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis is an invaluable resource containing the latest nutrition and diet information for those suffering from Irritable Bowel Disease (ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome). 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..
