Living with Crohn's & Colitis Cookbook: Nutritional Guidance, Meal Plans, and Over 100 Recipes for Improved Health and Wellness

I bought this book for a loved one who suffers with Crohn's. Excellent resource for learning about healthy foods for someone with any stomach issues.

I am 23 years old and was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and basically I've just been overwhelmed trying to figure out what I should and should not be eating. I grabbed a few cookbooks like this one to try and start learning about which foods might help and which foods might hurt. This book is just okay. Nothing to get super excited about, very basic information presented. I feel like a lot of the info was very vague and repetitive (some bits of advice were given multiple times, as though the reader was a child needing to be reminded over and over). As for the recipes, some of them seem like something I would try, but many have a lot of ingredients that I do not have access to in the small town I live in. Also, some of the ingredients I just have no idea what they are (what in the world is "grass fed butter"? Butter made from cow's milk that only ate grass?). Overall, I would not recommend this book to those with IBD as there seem to be many better options out there (I have been enjoying the Crohn's and Colitis Diet Guide by Dr. Hillary Steinhart, for example).

The best cookbook I have purchased! Has really helped me find what’s easy to cook having Crohn’s disease!

did help me understand more about Colitis

I am very pleased with my purchase. I have been dealing with Crohn's since 2010.

It is ok

use it often

I personally didn't learn anything new and I found things to contradict what I have been told by professionals. I have had Crohn's a decade

Not for Me I am afraid. The recipe list was not very appealing. My husband suffers from ulcerative colitis. So that’s why I bought it . I have it to the local charity shop. Perhaps someone will like it better than me

Waste of money, if you have crohns as I have had for 30 years you are better off trial and error, then using this book, probably no pictures as they would not have been nice. I can't give less than 1 star as l want

We are just learning about Crohn,s as my 26 year old son has just been diagnosed it's a steep learning curve at the moment. We have tried some of the recipes they are easy to follow

That it was American was a suprise.

Okay, so it the recipe are a bit dubious for someone with Crohns or Colitis.
