Anyone who suffers from one of the mysterious chronic diseases collectively described as a "bad gut" knows that proper nutrition is a key factor in good health - but not at all easy to manage. For such a person, eating the wrong thing at the wrong time can trigger weeks of pain, fatigue, loss of function, and embarrassment. With the aid of research nutritionist James Scala, the 2 million people afflicted with digestive disorders can learn to help themselves to relief. He shows how to use proper diet and stress control to head off attacks before they start, offering advice not just on what to eat, but, more important, what not to eat. On addition, he explains the special nutritional needs of these people and how to meet them without risking aggravation of the condition.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) is an umbrella term for serious disorders of the large intestine, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Nutrition is important in managing these chronic diseases, and nutritional biologist Scala's recommendations seem sensible. Unfortunately, the title-- Eating Right for a Bad Gut--and promotional material for this book confuse IBD with the less serious and more common condition called IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), which Scala does not address at all. Such imprecise wording might lead to extreme anxiety in the unwary reader looking for information on indigestion.

Warning: This Book Is Over-Hyped,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eating Right For a Bad Gut: compl Nutritional GT Ileitis Colitis Crohn's Disease & Inflammatory Bowel Diseas (Plume Books) (Paperback)
This book is commonly recommended by the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, but I didn't think it was very good. The observations were haphazard, and some sounded like the author was making them up as he went along. He has a kind of puppy-ish enthusiasm, but he goes off half-cocked a lot. It's also full of repetition. There are much better books out there, both on nutrition and on these illnesses.

Good Guide to Eating with a Bad Gut,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eating Right For a Bad Gut: compl Nutritional GT Ileitis Colitis Crohn's Disease & Inflammatory Bowel Diseas (Plume Books) (Paperback)
In this book, Dr. Scala, a leading nutiritionist, provides diet and nutrition information so that people with IBD can help themselves find relief and achieve better health. The author has designed a drug free food and lifestyle program which includes: developing a personal testing program to identify foods that aggravate, cause or relieve flare-ups; "safe foods" and tips on reading labels; total fitness and stress reduction techniques; food allergies (including lactose, alcohol, and sugar intolerance); IBD and children; and recommended vitamin supplements. Recommended for folks who need clear instructions to develop their own dietary program. A useful book!
