Customer Reviews

Fantastic
Found this book really helpful as my partner suffers with crohn's and we were given little to hno help by the hospital and by his doctors about what to eat, apart from a dreadful diet sheet from the hospital, have had no problems sourcing ingredients most stuff we have got from sainsburys and some stuff from holland and barrett. A great guide to get us started on what was better for him to have without him missing out on nutritional value. Yes only to be used as a guide, we have to following the "low residue" diet bit in it which involves eated soluable fibre but not insoluable which has been working really well for my partner. I love the muffin recipes in the book to and I have enjoyed alot of the recipes to and so has our daughter.

Some good dietary information
A good basic guide to the nutrition for colitis and crohn's sufferers.
The recipes, however, are aimd at the American market, so sourcing some of the ingredients may be a little difficult.
Overall, the book is a very helpful addition for the bookshelf for both the patient and health professional providing it is used as a guide only!
