The Good Gut Cook Book
by Rosemary Stanton & The Gut Foundation

This is an Australian publication that contains delicious recipes intended to keep the gut healthy.

Each recipe carries useful tips about ingredients and methods, the number of serves, and dietary fibre content. It also contains information about the function of the digestive system, what can go wrong and what should be eaten if there is a particular problem.

The book aims to sort out some of the confusion and conflicting advice about diet, food allergies, food intolerance, and gastrointestinal disease. Several pages at the back of the book describe the various digestive disorders, including IBD, and outlines the symptoms and treatments.

While the recipes are not specifically written for use in IBD or for other digestive disorders where there are special dietary requirements, it is a useful book for households wanting a guide to help them prepare meals that are high in fibre and improve the health of the gut.
