Maintaining the right diet can be challenging, but it is essential to help manage the symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. This second, updated edition of the diet guide with an expanded list of recipes, authored by the division head of gastroenterology for Mount Sinai Hospital/University Health Network in Toronto, and the inpatient clinical dietitian for the gastrointestinal program at Mount Sinai, is a welcome addition to the field that will help IBD sufferers take control of their health. The book presents a wealth of background information about IBD. The first section of the book covers the basics of Crohn's and colitis. The second section explores drug, surgical and dietary strategies for managing IBD. The third section has an extensive listing of IBD-friendly meal plans and recipes. The guide is written in easy-to-understand language, provides answers to commonly asked questions and many useful illustrations, although there are no photos of the recipes. Steinhart and Cepo are both knowledgeable, and clearly interested in helping those with IBD lead healthier lives. They have produced an invaluable guide that is highly recommended for those with IBD and those who care for them. (Mar.)

[Review for previous edition:] A valuable resource to dietitians and other health professionals who care for patients with IBD.

Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada - Cathy Alberda

[Review for previous edition:] Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract. Colitis is also inflammation but is inflammation of the large intestine. Both can be debilitating and very painful. One effective way of treatment is through diet. The authors, experts in gastrointestinal issues at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada, offer patients and families ways to cope with the dreaded disease in Crohn's and Colitis Diet Guide. Their explanation and diagrams are thorough and well researched. As well, the information is presented in lay terms so that anyone can understand it. The recipes include gentle ingredients as well as explanations why a specific ingredient is used. For example, the recipe for Turkey Apple Meatloaf calls for oat bran. The reason it is used is because oat bran's "gelling" properties help to form loose stool. Because of this desirable effect, many low-residue diets include oats and oat products despite the increased fiber content. Each recipe also comes with a nutrient table covering calories, fat, fiber, protein and carbohydrates. I believe that Crohn's and Colitis Diet Guide would be well worth having by anyone that is stricken with these diseases or for anyone that has to cook for a victim. The recipes are simple and the ingredients could be found in any pantry or local grocery store. But, more so the authors' information is an added resource for those already with some knowledge.
