Very informative
I was told by my physician to do the FODMAP diet. This book was explanatory and informative. It included charts and foods to eat.

Has Good Recipes
I am still not sure what food is causing my IBS-like symptoms in the past year but most recipes out of this book have helped alleviate the symptoms, or at times, minimizes the symptoms. This book is a good place to start, along with the Monash FODMAP app, but narrowing down the culprit has still been a challenge. I bought this with two other low FODMAP books and all 3 have been life savers. What a journey this has been and I hope it is over soon!

Great Low Fodmap guide
I am glad I ordered this book. It was very helpful and a great guide to beginners who need to try the low fodmap diet due to digestive issues. I would recommend this book. Great recipes.

This plan actually works for me.
The diet plan is doable. It takes some dedication and effort, but if one invests the time it pays off, at least it did for me. I did some substuting on the meal plan but still had good results. It took time to change out my pantry with the list the author recommends but it was worth the effort and money. I made nearly all the meals, except for the vegan but I've added or substiuted with good results. After a year of dealing with unrelenting IBS issues, I'm now in remission, thanks to this diet plan and recipes. My husband enjoys the recipes from the book and has lost weight. It's been a good experience. The author is an IBS sufferer and a medical doctoral. She developed the plan based on her own experiences with the condition. She developed the recipes and tested them.So far, every one I've made is delicious. I highly recommend this book.

IBS or not ... this is a great cookbook!
Full disclosure: I don't have IBS ...... But I still love this recipe book! Dr. RP and I go waaaaaay back -- to her pre-FODMAP days. And let me tell you - she is a changed woman. What I love most about watching her go through this journey of hers is that she took a problem that was adversely affecting her life and not only turned it around, but also made it into a passion of hers. And now, she is helping people around the world with her low FODMAP easy foods (bars, shakes, etc.) and this amazing cook book!I have now tried several recipes from this book and they are fantastic! I work and have 2 young children so a recipe has to be easy, quick, and healthy. Bonus if the kids will eat it. This book gets it done: make ahead breakfast burritos for breakfast, peanut butter baked oatmeal squares for after school snack, broiled salmon with maple lemon glaze for dinner. Husband ate all the pumpkin pie energy bites in one sitting.So, don't wait - get this book and get your gut happy!

Great flavorful recipes!
I needed to start low FODMAP to get over a flare. I was bummed because that basically meant cutting out all gluten and a lot of dairy, as well as modifying several other things in my diet. For background, my husband is a great cook, and loves spicy food. So my standards were pretty high to start.We’ve only tried a few recipes so far, but the flavor has been great! The Asian noodles with beef were wonderful. We also had the spiced maple chicken, and it was so good. Even my husband loved them, and he doesn’t have to follow the diet! I will say it helps to have some experience cooking, and be in an area with access to the ingredients (oyster sauce, low FODMAP broth, etc). The author gives a complete shopping list, and also explains in the recipe descriptions about the quantities of items that are low FODMAP, as there are several foods that are only low FODMAP in small quantities, such as blueberries, almonds, and instant oatmeal. I would also recommend the Monash app and the Fig app if you’re trying to follow strict guidelines to help you find items in your area. Overall, I would highly recommend this cookbook!

Best Cookbook for FODMAP!
When my GI doc first recommended FODMAP, but I couldn't get an appt with the nutritionist for over 3 months, so I went to the library and took home a bunch of FODMAP cookbooks. It was my great good fortune that this was among them. The recipes are DELICIOUS - some better than anything I've ever had in that category - beautifully seasoned, easy to prepare, not too many ingredients. The author is not only a talented science writer - good at explaining FODMAP concepts - she's a food wizard and one hell of a chef!! The cookbook includes lots of basic sauces you can build many dishes around....anyway: I bought my ow copy, am LOVING the food, and can't believe it's a 'diet'.
