كتاب رائع في غاية الافادة
لاولئك المصابين بالتهاب القولون التقرحي او مرض كرونز
اكبر سؤال يواجه هؤلاء المرضى، ماذا يجب ان نأكل وماذا يجب ان نمتنع عنه
اتوقع ان الكتاب يجيب على جزء كبير من هذا السؤال، يوجد الكثير من المعلومات المفيدة والشرح لماذا هذا الاكل سيء للقولون.
ما هي الفواكه والخضروات واللحوم الجيدة للمرضى وما هي السيئة؟ يجيب الكتاب على هذا السؤال
ولكن دعنا نقول ان الكتاب غير كامل تماما،
يوجد كثير من الاغذية التي لم يتناولها الكتاب لا بالسلب ولا بالايجاب
الشوكولا، الحلويات عموما، رقائق البطاطس، البسكويت ، النكهات الحارة، الاحماض، الاملاح، وغيرها الكثير لم يذكرها الكتاب او لم يذكرها بالتفصيل الكافي

يبقى الكتاب مفيدا ويرسم خطوط اساسية للمصاب بهذا المرض.

I've had Crohn's Disease for over 2 decades. I'm currently reading 4 books on diets for IBD, and then I'll meet with a dietician to figure out what I should try first. This was the first book I finished, and honestly, it makes a lot of sense. Several of the "don't eat" foods I've already figured out through my own experiences.

These are NOT low residue recipes. There is virtually nothing in here that I can eat.

I think her approach has a lot of merit and at my daughters dx, I especially loved that she was a dietician. Some diets have "cure claims" which make me angry. If this group of illnesses could be attributed to or controlled by a particular diet (like diabetes), we'd all be doing it! This book was in the Phoenix Children's Hospital library at diagnosis. I just wanted to "put it out there" on my goodreads in case anyone needs it for a friend or family member.

Very informative without being overly jargon-y.
