Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

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.) c Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
