The IBD Nutrition Book
by Jan Greenwood R.D.N., C.N.S.D.

This book aims to give a comprehensive overview of diet and nutrition for those with IBD. Topics covered include normal digestion and absorption, key essential nutrients and their role in relationship to IBD, and special diets.

Sections have been included on children with IBD and pregnancy. The book provides a number of recipes from beverages through to desserts. A nutritional analysis is included with each recipe as well as suggestions for dietary modifications.

There are a few interesting combinations of ingredients, such as the peanut butter surprise pie! So some recipes may appeal, others not. There is also a sample weekly menu using some of the recipes listed.

As this is an American publication, references are made throughout to US and Canadian recommendations for nutrition.

The book is well set out with clear headings and plenty of charts to illustrate the topic. The information is clear and easy to understand. A glossary giving explanations of terms used is included.

Most people would gain some useful information from this book, although not all sections will be relevant to everyone.
