The Complete Low-FODMAP Diet 2021
A Revolutionary Plan for Managing IBS and Other Digestive DisordersGastrointestinal complaints are one of the most common reasons people visit their physicians. Many people, who do not respond completely to a low-gluten diet, may find the problem is short-chain undigested carbohydrates that are used as fast food by gut microbes. This is an excellent book from the Australian dietitian and fellow researcher who created the low-FODMAP diet. The book covers the physiology of GI issues, determining triggers, and teaches how to implement the low-FODMAP diet with menus and 180 pages of recipes.

Why we chose this book
Because the authors conduct the leading edge of research on the low-FODMAP diet and diet interventions for other gastrointestinal conditions, we felt we needed to carry their book on this topic. The book also has practical information and recipes to help readers use the elimination diet and then eat a healthy diet based upon the low-FODMAP guidelines.
