Product Description
Good news for the 15% of the population who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)-attention to nutrition can prevent its occurrence and ease its symptoms, especially the painful and distressing intestinal bloating and release of excessive wind. An easy-to-understand introduction to the dietary causes of IBS accompanies over 60 special recipes for preparing your favorite foods-for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as snacks and desserts-to alleviate the problems before they start. Charts explain which foods you can eat all the time, and which ones to avoid (yet you can even joy many of these when you follow special preparation methods). IBS also responds well to allergy and food intolerance therapies-just follow the helpful tips. With the handy plan for diet and exercise, plus recommendations for orthodox and alternative treatments, you're free from the discomfort and the anxieties of IBS.

Regarding Science-Ejected Vitalism, 2002: April 28, 2008
Robert J. Cullen (Bridgeport, CT)
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Vitalism is a profoundly science-ejected concept, though many CAM or 'natural health' cabals falsely claim that vitalism survives scientific scrutiny.
This book is a prime example of naturopathy's vitalism [aka "vis medicatrix naturae"].
I quote:
"naturopathy [...] the main aim of diagnosis is to find out how well your vital force is working [...in naturopathy,] hydrotherapy may be used to help stimulate the body's vital force [p.058]."

Inflamatory Bowel Disease-Food Solutions November 4, 2003
Joseph S. Maresca (Bronxville, New York USA)
4 out of 9 found this review helpful
The book provides classic symptoms for inflammatory bowel
disease; such as, feeling of fullness, irritable bladder,
headache, fatigue and fibromyalgia. The authors distinguish
between mechanical digestion and chemical digestion which
is the enzyme breakdown of food in the body. IBS happens when
the muscular activity or motility is altered. Contraction
either speeds up or slows down food movements through the
digestive tract. John Hopkins University found that 6 - 8
peristaltic contractions were the ideal; whereas, IBS patients
can have as few as "0" contractions and as many as 25.
A slowdown of food movements can lead to putrification of
the food, fermentation and bacterial overgrowth. Classic
triggers of this condition are dairy, insufficient fiber,
excessive smoking, stress and certain types of drugs.
The challenge for the patient is to diarize the food each
day and the adverse reactions as a condition precedent to
managing this disease. A related work by Hamlyn recommends
the evaluation of stool samples for parasitic infection and
the sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. Loperamide may be utilized to
reduce bowel contractions and Mebeverine is an anti-spasm
drug. Ispaghula husk may be used as a bulking agent to harden
stool prior to elimination. Peppermint oil classically relaxes
gut muscles. Hamlyn's work recommends that IBS patients
reduce sugary foods, reduce or eliminate smoking, increase
omega 3 oils and decrease milk consumption.
