Product Description
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.

 Best book on Crohn's yet November 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
There are three reasons why I think this is the best cookbook out there for anyone who has Crohn's or colitis.
1. Roscher's book does NOT follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, which is ridiculously complicated (and expensive) besides being not proven to even work. All the research I've personally done supports Mrs. Roscher's approach, not the SCD's long list of restrictions and 'illegal' foods.
2. The recipes in this book are really good, and easy to make.
3. Roscher uses inexpensive ingredients you can find anywhere.
Okay, I need to add a fourth reason -
4. I have not had a flare-up since I started using this book about one year ago. I'd say my symptoms have reduced 80% since I really got into this book. I have tried nearly half the recipes in Roscher's book and...this leads me to reason 5:
5. My entire family enjoys these recipes, not just me. So, I don't have to cook a special meal for myself and one for everyone else - everyone shares these meals.
If you are recently diagnosed as having Crohn's or colitis and you want to avoid the confusion of complicated, expensive diet regimens which only serve to oversensitize you to many foods, try this book first. You will thank me (and Mrs. Roscher).
I've bought two other copies of this book for friends suffering from IBD and they love it too.
Doctors will tell you a million different things about diet once you're diagnosed with IBD. Do your own research (and don't confuse IBD with IBS). Start with the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. And buy this cookbook - it's the simplest, cheapest, and most delicious way to control your diet while still ENJOYING FOOD.
 DO NOT BUY if you want to follow the SPECIAL CARBOHYDRATE DIET October 16, 2008

There are illegal ingredients in more than 1/2 the recipes....not a good book if you are trying to follow the SC Diet. Wish I had read the reviews before purchasing;o(
Great book. July 15, 2008

Wonderful Book for People with UC November 29, 2007
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
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!
