Some interesting recipes - some conflicting information
PROS:
1. Numerous helpful lists including: Shopping lists, restaurant menu suggestions, travel tips, and metric/imperial conversion charts.
2. Extensive seafood and vegetarian options.
3. All of the recipes include nutrition information. That's huge for me.
4. While this book does cover a list of symptoms, it also suggest you see a doctor because these symptoms can be linked to more serious disorders or have a treatable underlying cause.
5. It points out that these recipes are not all one-size-fits-all. What works for one person may not for another. Also, what upsets one persons digestive issues may have little impact on you.
6. The book also lists some non-dietary lifestyle adjustments that may help with IBS symptoms - such as adding exercise and therapy to see if the IBS is aggravated by stress.
7. It has unusual recipes and cooking methods for a slow cooker recipe book. They aren't all the same, tired soups and stews. Calamari anyone? Have you ever used Parchment paper in a slow cooker?
8. While low-FODMAP foods tend to be on the bland side, the author encourages and uses more herbs to add flavor rather than simply relying on salt and pepper.
9. The author encourages fresh foods and relies very little on canned or prepared foods.
CONS:
1. Hard to read and/understand some of the first chapters due to editorial errors. For example, the author listed these items under Herbs, Spices, and Flavorings to avoid: "Dairy Desserts, Baked Beans, Lentils, Chickpeas, processed foods, Coconut, Solid Chocolate, Solid Carob, Olives" - however, none of these items ARE herbs, spices or flavorings. Additionally, they listed Chives and watermelon twice in the Ok to eat list. They also listed Leeks, Shallots, and Garlic twice in the avoid list.
2. Not all of the recipes make sense as a slow-cooker recipe. Some of them call for 30 minute cook times in a slow cooker. That almost seems like it would be just as easy to cook them on the stove top.
3. Most recipes do not include photos. The few photos that are included are out-of-perspective and appear stretched or squished.
4. It includes nectarines in one recipe despite them being on the avoid list.
5. Some of the recipes are pale imitations of what they claim to be - for example, the seafood bisque is not pureed, nor is it creamy at all. It's more like a seafood stew - which is fine - but definitely not a bisque. And the Jambalaya resembles something more like a seafood and rice dish. By it's very nature, jambalaya is spicy. I understand that low-FODAP recipes tend to be on the blander side, but this isn't a jambalaya at all - but it is a very good seafood and rice dish.

Very disappointed!
While reading the recipes and making a shopping list I discovered that several of the recipes had incomplete or totally missing ingredients lists! I got tired of pointing out the errors and decided that the whole cookbook should be proofread! There's no way I want to be in the middle of making something and discovering missing ingredients!

As a lifetime IBS sufferer I am always looking for ways to manage my symptoms. I came across this book and was pleasantly surprised by its thoroughness. It starts out describing IBS, its symptoms and its triggers that can cause a flair. It also goes on to suggest similar conditions that could be confused with IBS or contributing to the IBS...one of them being (SIBO) "small intestine bacterial overgrowth". As I said, I have suffered with IBS most of my life and only recently have I heard about SIBO. It was nice to see this entry in the book for those seeking other possible causes for their symptoms. I wish I had known about it sooner.
The most important aspect of this book is that it focuses all of its 50 "slow cook" crockpot recipes around the growing theory of FODMAPs (Fermentable, Oligio-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols) and their role in significantly exacerbating IBS symptoms. They give an extensive list of high (bad) and low (good) foods under the FODMAP umbrella. From fruits and vegetables, to flavorings, herb, spices, dairy, wheat, and protein, this book provides a large selection of foods to help reduce or eliminate your IBS. The book also goes into lifestyle suggestions for cooking at home, eating out and traveling.
As for the recipes, the greatest thing is that basically all of the work is done for you as far as what foods are the good foods to eat. All 50 recipes are FODMAP friendly and include the title of the dish, number of servings, prep time, and cook time. The ingredients required, preparation and cooking procedure is laid out in an easy to follow format. Because these are all slow cook recipes they are basically set it and forget it thereby reducing work, reducing stress (stress is bad for IBS), and allows for creating recipes that you can easily freeze and reheat later. Lastly, I appreciated that some basic nutritional facts are also given such as calorie count, protein, carbs, fat and sugars. A nice touch. The biggest missing item that I am quite disappointed not to see is that there are no photographs at all of the completed dishes so that one knows what to expect as well as making it easier to choose what to cook in the first place. I am a very visual person.
The recipes cover all aspects of meals including breakfast, poultry, soups and broths, vegetarian dishes, seafood, drinks and desserts.
Overall I am very satisfied with this book and I'm glad that I purchased it. I will definitely slowly try each recipe and hopefully I'll see some improvement in my symptoms. I highly recommend this book for anyone suffering with IBS and looking for an easier way to not only cook, but to cook healthy, delicious, stress-free meals.

I've always wanted to know more about what FODMAP stood for and this book gives a pretty good overview. I like how the explanation is straight to the point on the breakdown of carbs and it's absorption in the small intestines. It also has an extensive food list on what's ok and what to avoid.
The only downside were the errors I came across.
Things to fix: on location 203 *they these* was an odd placed phrase ; location 468 on the Chicken Meatball Recipe there was no ingredient list and no measurements ; there were only 2 photos of a finished dish, one of which was put under the wrong recipe (more photos of finished recipes would be great); why is one kind of tomato ok and the others not? ; also many recipes are not gurd friendly and can create an acidic environment in the stomach; there were many recipes calling for shellfish, which can aggravate ibs symptoms.
I like how basic and natural many of the recipes are, which makes preparing meals and eating at home much more convenient.
After the research I have done on anti allergy and anti candida diets there are several points in this book I disagree with. All in all I will try out some of the recipes (excluding the allergens in many of the recipes) to see if I feel a difference after 3 months (3 months is the typical amount of time needed before feeling the full affects of a nutritional change)

The recipes were basic but found several errors. The information was helpful and I will try a few of the recipes.
