No more guesswork--go low-FODMAP for good food every day and lasting relief year-round
If you suffer from a digestive disorder, you're likely familiar with a long list of unknowns: I don't look sick, so what's wrong with me? What can I do to feel better? What foods exactly are causing me discomfort?
Now, The 2-Step Low-FODMAP Eating Plan is here to answer those questions, provide delicious food that feels good to eat, and help pinpoint specific intolerances in less than eight weeks. Listen to your gut and go low-FODMAP--already proven the most effective dietary treatment worldwide for irritable bowel syndrome and other dietary conditions (including gluten, lactose, and fructose intolerances).
Dr. Sue Shepherd's all-new 2-step plan presents a reliable approach to identify what foods you can enjoy, and eliminate only those that cause symptoms (and that doesn't necessarily mean gluten!):
First: Restrict FODMAPs (certain poorly absorbed carbs) to discover a new baseline of health.
Next: Slowly reintroduce them, step-by-step, to learn which FODMAPs are tolerable, and in what amounts.
The Result: A custom-made eating plan with delicious food that will make you happy and healthier!
With menu plans for adults, kids, vegetarians and vegans, anyone can do it. Dr. Shepherd also delivers a guide to shopping and how to approach food labels, travel information and tips for eating out, and over 80 crave-worthy recipes.

Finally a book that tells me exactly what to do
This book is great cause it has all the information you could ever want or need. It tells you how to substitute things based on your own individual needs and how to even find out what your own individual needs are. It saves a lot of headache by adding exact measurements that are appropriate and how to incorporate the same recipes for different steps in your experiments. Would definitely recommend to anyone struggling with IBS.

I've been having IBS-related symptoms for a while, so I picked up some books like these to learn more about it and it quite works and relieves the problems.
This book is easy to understand and has good hands-on guidelines for noobies like me. Worth checking out if you're experiencing similar problems.

Has good information in the beginning, but isn’t new to me as I’ve already done research. The recipes don’t help me at all because it’s heavy in dairy, tomatoes, and other ingredients which I cannot have. Was hoping the recipes would be more suitable for my diet.
3.5/5stars

This broke down Low-FODMAP in a way that was not overwhelming and easy to understand. This book also showed me that the elimination process still has a wide range of food to choose from and doesn't reduce you to nothing. I feel very ready to give this a shot and figure out what's making me sick this year.

Great for someone with a solid knowledge base, not great for your first read. Really good information though, and I love how she added variations for each category in every recipe!

Wonderful recipes, meal plans for every type of eater (including vegan), & a great overview of nutrition basics. Wonderful resource.

This book was very helpful in explaining FODMAPs. For me, the recipes weren’t as appealing as other books I’ve read.

This is a good book - the information is great and the language is simple. It is also beautiful with gorgeous pictures of each recipe.

The 2-Step Low-FODMAP Eating Plan
is the essential guide to managing IBS and Food Intolerance
symptoms.
The 2-Step Low-FODMAP Eating Plan is a diet and recipe book that contains helpful information on how to manage IBS and food intolerance.
That being said, I did enjoy the recipes within The 2-Step Low-FODMAP Eating Plan. However, being that I tend to notice errors a lot faster and they tend to stick with me throughout the novel (or in this case Low-FODMAP Eating Plan). There were some recipes that did call for ingredients that were not in any way "FODMAP" friendly. Other than that, this novel or FODMAP Eating Plan is truly a hit.
It is helpful for those that not only have IBS but also those that experience food intolerances/sensitivities. For example, lactose intolerance, celiac disease, salicylate sensitivity, and more.
