(Paperback)
From a Patient who is also a dietitian . . .
Everything you need to know about nutrition and inflammatory bowel disease including healing foods, recipes, supplements and more.
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 IBD. 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.
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. She has been in private clinical practice for over ten years and specializes in nutrition and inflammatory bowel disease.

August 22, 2009: Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to the description, but this book wasn't what I expected. I was hoping for an explanation of what foods cause what reaction in the gut and why, but what I got was a health nut's compilation of recipes.

March 21, 2009: Tracie Dalessandro's book is excellent, not only as a source of good recipes for those of us battling IBD, but also as a source of excellent, clear and accurate guidance on nutrition more broadly for IBD patients. She is not only a patient but a trained dietitian, so I guess that is why this book is so well researched and helpful. Thank you Tracie!
(Anyone considering buying the Brenda Roscher book on cooking for IBD should think again and buy this instead - it is far superior.)
