only book of it's kind I've seen
I am pleased with the book and never thought that some of the foods to be avoided were causing (or might be) my distress. I do plan to try to implement the changes with some modifications(I am a cancer survivor who has been advised to avoid soy products but must eat the food I have on hand before I begin. Having been trying to diet, my focus has been veggie forward with very little rice, pasta and potato, so it is a new mind set.

Heather says:

Hi Nancy - the book was first published in 2000 but has been updated repeatedly with many subsequent reprints. The publication date in the book will not change with reprints/edits/updates, it only changes with the formal publication of a new edition. That is a Library of Congress formality. The dietary information in the book is current and the guidelines are accurate. You are always welcome to return anything at any time for any reason. That is never a problem.

This is helped my symptons tremendously and very quickly. I would like more eggless recipes however, since I am allergice to every part of an egg.

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi Patricia! You can substitute for the egg in most of the baking recipes - for the quick breads you could probably just eliminate them, for others try subbing in Ener-G Egg Replacer. You can get this at any grocery store, it's vegan and IBS safe, and works well. For dishes where eggs are the main part (scrambles and such) you could sub silken tofu, mashed with a fork. If there are specific recipes you're struggling with just let me know.

info very helpful; recipes not so much.

I am an older widow living on SS and too many ingredients I would have to drive too far to get. Cooking for one is a challenge. It was obvious you live in a large metropolitan area where it is easy to find things. The information part of the book was very helpful and I am picking up tips from recipes but not too many. And way too many carbs in the desserts for anyone who has to watch weight/sugar intake.

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi Kathleen - thanks so much for your feedback! Please don't feel restricted by ingredients - you can omit or substitute for things you can't obtain. I actually wrote this book while living in rural New England, with ingredients I'd been able to easily find for years in other areas of the country as well. If there is something specific tripping you up, please let me know and I'll help. I tried to make the recipes as wide ranging and comprehensive as possible, but you can certainly stick to the traditional all-American options and familiar favorites if you wish. You can also halve just about all the recipes to make smaller meals.

Sugar is not a health food, but also not an IBS trigger, so the dessert recipes will use real sugar. It's best to just avoid sweets or stick to small portions if you are limiting sugar - don't replace that with artificial sweeteners, as those are huge GI triggers.

Eating for IBS

I was very disappointed in the exorbitant amount of sugar in your recipes.

Speed of Delivery

Heather says:

Hi Diane - I am so sorry to hear this. The dessert recipes do use real sugar, as it's not an IBS trigger (though it's also not a health food, so you can simply omit desserts from your diet if you wish). There is little to no sugar in the non-sweet recipes, so please let me know if you have specific concerns/recipes you are asking and I'll try to help. In general, aside from baking (where sugar plays a critical role in the food chemistry) you could certainly just lower the sugar amount or omit it if you wish.

For me, the book was good except I can't eat gluten or dairy

Would love it if you offered a gluten free version

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi Sharon - thank you so much for your feedback. Eating for IBS is completely dairy free (dairy is a huge IBS trigger), but it is not gluten free. Most IBS folks do not have a gluten intolerance as well, so I wanted to make the book as broad as possible. It is certainly possible to eat safely for both IBS and celiac, so please do combine those needs.

I do not have a cookbook that is gluten free but there is a lot of information and some recipes on the site that fit the bill. I'm so sorry I don't have a perfect solution for this.

Just Getting Started
I've only just started "what to eat when you can't eat" day 6 and on the mend it would seem. The peppermint tea is very soothing. I like the Acacia Senegal lacking taste, texture. The fennel tea is my second favorite. Ends bloating right away. But my gut hasn't felt good since 12/10/16 and got so bad I was hospitalized. Not one doctor helped me. Just eliminated what I didn't have. Found a doctor on the QT. Once I was diagnosed, I started researching your products. Thank you for being here for IBS people.

Also that whit bread is better then whole wheat has high fructose sugar in it. Now I understand why I have been having trouble digesting the whole wheat.

Hello Deborah - thank you so much for your feedback! Are you referring to the dessert chapter? Those recipes would use real sugar, which is not an IBS trigger, but certainly not a health food you need to eat. You can simply avoid those recipes if you wish - they are just to give IBS folks safe options for sweet treats. Do avoid artificial sweeteners - those are huge IBS triggers. Best, Heather

eating for IBS
I found it helpful in that it is the first time I read anything on this subject. The idea of an all white diet was helpful. I am diabetic too, so the suggestion of having sugar was out. But I was able to implement the recipes with ease. The fruit without seeds was boring to me, but it worked to give them up. Bran and fiber was easy to give up but I could not giver up coffee I did give up soda though and that helped.

Hi there Sandra,

Thank you for your feedback.

I am sorry to hear that the print is difficult for you to read. Unfortunately, we are not the book publishers, so we have no control over the physical appearance of the book itself, which was produced with standard fonts, type size, ink colors, etc. The publisher defaults to established press guidelines for all of those elements.

Eating for IBS was written with individuals with IBS in mind, so the extra information at the beginning of the book is critical to help place the recipes in the context of an IBS safe diet. Following the information at the beginning of the book has helped many people with IBS to alleviate symptoms that they have been experiencing for years.

Since people with IBS can often have restrictive diets, Heather likes to include unique ingredients in her recipes to ensure that her readers can maintain a fun, interesting, but safe, diet. There are also many, many recipes that are modifications of the mainstream, all-American recipes that it sounds like you prefer, so please check the chapters for soups, sandwiches, breads, main dish chicken recipes, and desserts for lots of examples that are fast and easy and not "gourmet".

We do have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so you are welcome to send the book back if you are not satisfied.

Thanks again!

needs to be updated

This book was published in 2000. So many things have changed since then. For example, she advocates a lot of soy products. Soy is highly allergenic and also contains antinutrients that block mineral absorption. I wouldn't touch unfermented soy with a billion-foot pole. She also advocates processed foods, such as breakfast cereal (with soy milk). These are just a few of the things that alarmed me about the book. Do some research on it.

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi Maureen - thank you very much for your feedback. Eating for IBS actually has been revised and updated several times but the publication date will remain listed as 2000. If that were to change, a new ISBN would be required, and I don't want to take that step as it causes hassles with book listings, publisher distributions, etc.

Soy is actually not one of the top allergens, though it is of course possible to be allergic to it. It does not affect nutrient absorption of any kind, and is in fact considered a top source of protein, phytonutrients, anti-oxidants, and other benefits. It has a strong correlation with prevention of heart disease and reproductive cancers, with both fermented and non-fermented sources of soy showing these benefits. You can avoid it if you wish, and just use other (rice, oat, almond, hemp, etc.) non-dairy replacements. A good, reputable, and current source of research for soy and other foods is the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine, http://pcrm.org/.

You can certainly avoid processed foods. I do, and the vast majority of recipes in Eating for IBS do as well. But I get many, many requests from people for brand name, IBS safe items such as cereals that they can eat without having to cook. I try to include that information for their benefit. Whole grain (especially whole wheat) cereals are a huge IBS trigger for almost everyone, so people need to work around that with things like instant oatmeal, or oat/corn/rice cereals and avoid the bran and granola options that are just too high in insoluble fiber.

There are years of research behind Eating for IBS - that's why there are extensive footnotes throughout citing the primary sources of information. The First Year IBS book is similarly researched and annotated.

Please feel free to modify the guidelines and recipes to suit you. It's meant to be as wide-ranging a book as possible, so that it can be adapted by everyone from vegans to people who would live at fast food restaurants if they could. Definitely find your own middle ground so you are eating in a way that makes you both happy and healthy.

Best,
Heather

Hi Laurie,

I am sorry to hear that you were unable to use many of the recipes due to your gluten intolerance. This cookbook is specific for IBS-safe recipes and not gluten sensitivities. Following a gluten free diet is much more difficult than following the IBS diet, and some people find it easier to start with a gluten free cookbook and modify those recipes for IBS. For Heather's recipes, you may be able to substitute gluten free soluble fiber staples like rice, rice noodles, potatoes, cornmeal and polenta, oatmeal (should be labeled as gluten free so there is no cross contamination from other grains) quinoa, root vegetables, tapioca, amaranth, buckwheat, and soy.

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you in the future.

Hi Lilly,
Thank you so much taking the time to write a review of the Eating for IBS Diet & Cookbook.
We are thrilled that you enjoyed the speed of your delivery and that our customer service has been helpful.
People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome are statistically more likely to have upper GI problems (like GERD or reflux) as well. The good news is that the vast majority of dietary changes that help IBS will also help prevent or minimize heartburn - there are just a few special considerations you'll need to take.
The general IBS diet guidelines of low fat, high soluble fiber, and the careful addition of insoluble fiber, are well-suited to reflux as well. In particular, going low fat will be very beneficial for IBS and reflux both, so make sure you're avoiding the high fat trigger foods. While acidic foods can sometimes (but not always) bother IBS, they are very hard on reflux, so be careful with citrus, vinegars, and cooked tomatoes. Peppermint is wonderful for IBS but difficult for many people with reflux.
I would suggest the IBS dietary guidelines combined with the extra cautions for heartburn, and also the Fennel Tummy Tea. It will help IBS symptoms and also heartburn - unlike peppermint, it cannot worsen reflux.
If you can't use the book at all please do return it.
You can return the book at any time, simply return it with the invoice for a full refund, excluding shipping costs. There is no time limit.
Thanks again Lilly,

Hello Patricia,

Thank you for taking the time to write a product review. We appreciate your feedback.

We're so sorry that the recipes from Eating for IBS are not to your liking. The book was written in accordance with the IBS Diet plan that Heather Van Vorous devised. Many people are surprised to learn that fresh white breads and other complex carb foods like potatoes, sweet potatoes and pasta are actually soluble fiber foods. They work to help resolve both diarrhea and constipation. These are in fact your good safe foods - all soluble fiber foods are going to be plant foods, and all will be complex carbohydrates. The only simple carbohydrate is refined sugar, which you can certainly avoid.

I ordered both books and peppermint tea
I have been extremely pleased with both the peppermint tea and the books. I have read both books from cover to cover and they have given me more help than any doctor. The recipes in the IBS cookbook are easy and delicious. Most importantly, the tea and diet have given me more relief than I have had in the two years of my IBS symptoms. I am a new and devoted customer.

I have had IBS for over20 years so I was over the moon when I tried your products and the diarrhea was gone.....for about 6 months. So I ordered the IBS book. There is no way on God's precious earth that my husband of 51 years is going to eat tofu in any form and there is no way I am going to make 2 separate meals, that's #1. #2 we can't afford it. So I am back where I started.All my love,Heather.

Heather says:

Hello Judy,

Thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry you were not completely satisfied with the book. We know that no one wants to cook two meals for every meal of the day, so Heather wrote this book specifically so it would be safe for those for IBS, but also enjoyable for friends and family who do not have IBS. You shouldn't have to make two meals, just one, because it will be both IBS friendly and appealing to everyone, whether or not they have IBS at all. You do not have to follow each recipe exactly how it is listed. Please feel free to swap out skinless chicken breasts for fish in the seafood recipes, or chicken for tofu in the vegetarian dishes. It is up to you and what you (and your husband) like best!

You can also find hundreds of IBS safe recipes on our website here: http://www.helpforibs.com/messageboards/ubbthreads/recipe_index.php

These are recipes other IBSers have submitted. They are approved by Heather to be IBS Safe and most of them are very simple and can be enjoyed by everyone!

I will also email you directly to further discuss how the products are helping your IBS symptoms.

I hope this helps! Please feel free to email us directly if you have any further questions on the recipes or need any further suggestions.

All the best,
Joanna

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Hi Cynthia - thanks so much for your feedback! I'm so sorry if the recipes seem too easy - I really wanted this book to be accessible for everyone, whether they'd been cooking gourmet meals for years, or they had never boiled water in their life. That's why there are 175 recipes - I tried to be as comprehensive as possible, so there are all-American traditional favorites as well as exotic ethnic options.

If you find things too bland by all means increase the herbs and spices called for in the recipes. I tend to season things very generously, but if it's not enough for you please use more - in general, most all herbs and spices are digestive aids, so there is no need to eat bland food just because you have IBS. Foods should be delicious as well as safe for IBS!

Best,
Heather

Book Review/ Plan review
This book has been a real saving grace for me, having had GI problems for many years and finding out that traditional medicine had no answers except pills, which I refused to take! This whole program is beautifully set up and easy to follow. Questions are answered promptly and helpfully. I do feel that some of the recipes contain ingredients that are not commonly a part of my kitchen..I cook very little. But I am finding, too, that I can revise and substitute, and am getting better at it. Thank you Heather for all you do for all of us who have been at wit's end about what to do with this problem, while still trying to live a "normal" active life! You're the best!

I think the Acacia Fiber is wonderful but I'm concerned that Heather's focus on soluble vs non-soluble fiber does not consider the thousands of people now allergic to genetically modified food, especially wheat/grains. I have suffered with IBS for years and now find that taking grains out of my diet is healing my gut. Please pass this on to Heather.

Hi Sharon - thanks so much for your feedback! To avoid GMO grains just choose certified organic options. They are never genetically modified. You can also avoid grains entirely and use root veggies for your soluble fiber foundation. That is just fine! Best, Heather

Hi Joannne - thanks for the kind comments. So glad you like the recipes! Chia seeds have about 50/50 soluble/insoluble fiber , so be cautious with them. Treat them like any other insoluble fiber food and follow the guidelines - most importantly, have them with a soluble fiber base. Best, Heather

Review of "Eating for IBS"

Was somewhat disappointed but did not give a bad rating because the reason was partly due to an allergy to soy and any form of sugar. I found only a few recipes that I would want to cook. I would like to see more recipes for casseroles or alternatives to popular food like pizza and pasta.

Hi Sandra - thanks so much for your feedback. Please feel free to use any non-dairy substitutes instead of soy. There are lots of great rice, almond, oat, and hemp milk alternatives now, and they are just fine for IBS.

I'm not sure if these will fit the bill for you, but there are pizza and pasta recipes in the book. Check pages 219-223 for pizza, and 208-218 plus 134-138 for pasta and noodle dishes.

I don't do too many casseroles, but there is a great tuna casserole recipe on the website here http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/07/121107.html#fooddiet

All the information I've received has been more helpful than anything my doctors have told me. I am eating the IBS Diet way, using the fennel tea (can't do peppermint) using the fiber. I don't care for the recipes for entrees....don't care for the spices, fish, tofu, etc....but I am using the information to make up my own. I love the breads.... I'm staying away from all desserts..and so far, that is ok. Thanks for all the help!

Hi Barbara! Thanks so much for your feedback.

You are right on the money to use the diet info in the book to suit your own tastes, and modify your own favorite recipes. That is the whole point of the guidelines, so that everyone can cook and eat both safely and deliciously, whatever their food preferences. You can also adjust the recipes in the book to suit you, and substitute the herbs and spices you prefer, or omit seasonings altogether, etc.

You might also check out the chicken entrée recipes, as those almost all come from my grandmother, so they are very much all-American traditional style dinner dishes. Or swap out chicken for fish in the seafood recipes, or chicken for tofu in the vegetarian dishes, etc. It is up to you and what you like best!

I've skimmed the book and find the principals helpful. However, I live alone and many of the recipes are for much larger families. Also I simply do better with "' 4 or 5" ingredient or less type of cookbooks.

I really found Heather's IBS Acacia fiber @ 1/2 tsp twice a day, the fennel and peppermint teas very helpful for getting relief. I had an acture attach, which may have been both IBS and gall bladder, In addition to Heather's above products I also did a gall bladder cleanse of juicing 1/3rd beet, 2 carrots and 1/2 cucumber once or twice a day. Anyway, I'm OK now. I plan to continue using the Heather's Acacia fiber @ 1/2 tsp twice a day and fennel tea, which I can get at my health food store @ Westwood Village shopping center, Seattle.

Hi Nancy - thank you so much for your feedback! You can actually easily halve most, if not all, of the recipes in Eating for IBS. They have all been tested both ways, and I typically do this myself as I'm usually only cooking for two people.

Many of the recipes were originally meant to make two servings, but for publication the publisher wanted an average of 4 servings per recipe, so I had to test doubling the smaller recipes.

If you want very simple, fast and easy recipes, there are a lot of them in the book but I also focused specifically on that for the Heather Cooks DVD, in response to reader requests. You can see the recipes for that here http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/books/hcooks.asp Those are literally recipes you can throw together in just 10 minutes in the kitchen, and I tried to focus on All-American options.

For Eating for IBS, though, in order to be comprehensive I tried to give the widest range possible with 175 recipes so there was something for everyone, from standard worknight fare to ethnic options to holiday special event meals.

If you have specific recipe or ingredient questions, just let me know!

12 years old and somewhat out of date.

No mention of possible Celiac disease nor wheat sensitivity causing IBS symptoms. I followed the IBS diet for about 5 days and got progressively worse. Only by doing research and eliminating wheat did I find some relief. Doctors are very ignorant about these conditions. I would recommend that the IBS book be updated to include wheat sensitivity.

Speed of Delivery

Customer Service

Heather says:

Feedback Rating

Hi Anne - thank you for your feedback. Celiac is actually listed in the book (and on this website) as one of the disorders that has to be ruled out for a diagnosis of IBS. Gluten intolerance (celiac) is a separate issue from IBS, and Eating for IBS is not focused on celiac or gluten intolerance. You can combine both dietary issues if you need to, that's not super uncommon, but most people with IBS do not also have celiac. They are two different disorders.

The book does address the issue with whole wheat, due to the insoluble fiber in wheat bran, that comes up with IBS, and you'll notice that the recipes do not use whole wheat. The wheat bran/insoluble fiber issue is distinct from a true wheat intolerance or gluten sensitivity, however.

If the book doesn't fit your needs you are certainly welcome to return it.

My apologies,
Heather
