Book Description

August 1, 2007
How to Cook for Crohn's and Colitis is a cookbook for anyone who suffers from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, not to be confused with irritable bowel syndrome) or cooks for someone who has the disease. While there is no known cure for Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, their symptoms can be controlled in part by following the dietary guidelines of the American Dietetic Association and those outlined in Dr. Fred Saibil's Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis: Everything You Need to Know and by other experts.
Brenda Roscher provides sound nutritional advice and outlines the unique dietary needs of people with IBD, showing how to incorporate this information to make healthy choices about which foods to eat.
The recipes in How to Cook for Crohn's and Colitis are designed for the home cook, with easy-to-understand directions and ingredients found in local grocery stores. Because they are simple, many of the recipes can be prepared quickly, which makes them convenient for busy cooks. Finally, the recipes are designed with families in mind, to create meals that everyone can enjoy.
How to Cook for Crohn's and Colitis also contains informative sidebars on such topics as: Tips on Dining Out, Organic vs. Non-Organic Foods, How to Read a Nutrition Label, Kneading Bread Dough, and Tips on Skimming Fat from Broth. It also contains a reading list for anyone who wants to learn more about IBD and nutrition, plus a comprehensive index.
The recipes are organized into the following categories: appetizers, chili-chowders-soups, salads and salad dressings, sandwiches, breads savory and sweet, beef and pork, poultry, fish and seafood, past and sauces, side dishes, condiments and sweets.

1.0 out of 5 stars Title is a misnomer!, March 21, 2009
By 
SuzzyM "nyc_mom" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Cook for Crohn's and Colitis: More Than 200 Healthy, Delicious Recipes the Whole Family Will Love (Paperback)
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. It is terrible, and completely not as advertised. The title led me to think that this was a book of recipes for those suffering flareups of Crohn's or ulcerative colitis. However, most of the recipes have ingredients that are NOT good for IBD patients at least during flare-ups. Red meat, frying, spices and insoluble fiber are spread throughout these recipes and anyone who knows anything about this knows that these are not advised. Maybe these things work for you Brenda, and that's great, but they don't work for everyone and at a minimum, your book does not really give full disclosure on this. I would suggest that the next edition have a better more accurate title and better disclaimers on the individual to individual variation in ability to tolerate the types of food ingredients I have noted here.

For a really GOOD book for IBD patients, I'd refer you all to What to Eat with IBD by Tracie Dalessandro, MS, RD, CDN. She really gets it right.

Happy eating and recovery all.

2.0 out of 5 stars More like a standard cookbook than one for Crohn's and Colitis, November 5, 2007
This review is from: How to Cook for Crohn's and Colitis: More Than 200 Healthy, Delicious Recipes the Whole Family Will Love (Paperback)
If you have active Crohn's or Colitis, approach these recipes with caution. I follow a low-residue diet to minimize pain due to inflammation and I expected this book to be more tailored to those kinds of concerns. As I flipped through it for the first time, I was disappointed by the number of recipes that called for beans, onions, celery, salad greens and other high-fiber vegetables and fruits that are difficult for many people with IBD to digest. I can pick up any cookbook and adapt it for IBD, but I was hoping to be able to prepare and eat most of the dishes in this book without having to worry so much about altering them.

To the author's credit, the recipes look very tasty for those who can eat them and they are easy to follow. The information at the beginning of the book is helpful for the uninitiated or new learner. But ultimately, this is the sort of cookbook I would hope to use while in remission and does not seem particularly suited to Crohn's and Colitis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book for People with UC, November 29, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Cook for Crohn's and Colitis: More Than 200 Healthy, Delicious Recipes the Whole Family Will Love (Paperback)
I was diagnosed with UC in December of 2001. I studied up on the disease to educate myself and I found recipes here and there that I liked. The problem was that many of the recipes required the purchasing of expensive items at the health food store that I had never heard of. Another problem was that the food was stuff that I normally wouldn't eat. This book is perfect for an average UC patient. By average I mean you're not used to spending a ton of money on your nightly dinner. These recipes taste wonderful and I have already noticed an improvement in my flare-ups. The rest of your family won't tell the difference that the mac and cheese is bowel friendly. I think this is the best UC cook book currently out on the market. I love it!
