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.

I’ve been living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for quite some time, and for years, I struggled to find lasting relief or stability. While medications helped manage some symptoms, the flare ups, fatigue, and neurological discomfort always returned sometimes worse than before. It left me feeling drained, uncertain, and emotionally overwhelmed.Out of a mix of hope and hesitation, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. To be honest, I was skeptical at first. But around the four-month mark, I started noticing real changes.
My energy levels improved.The tingling and numbness became less frequent
My mobility and mental clarity felt more stable and consistent
It wasn’t a quick fix, but the progress was steady and most importantly, lasting.
For the first time in years, I feel like I have control over my body and my life again. I can join conversations without struggling to find the right words, go for walks without the same fear of imbalance, and enjoy everyday activities with a renewed sense of hope.The physical, emotional, and mental impact has been truly life changing.If you’re considering natural options for managing MS, I genuinely encourage you to explore what NaturePath Herbal Clinic has to offer. It’s been a transformative experience for me, and I’m deeply grateful I gave it a chance.

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.
