We have provided you with a complete and thoroughly detailed guide of the low-FODMAP diet, so you can be as confident as possible as you begin this treatment for your gut symptoms.

In addition to detailing the diet, we have also provided you with information about IBS, its causes, symptoms, and treatments. We hope that you find this extra information beneficial to you in your own IBS journey Secondly, this book has a wide variety of recipes that will leave you with many options for meals and snacks that also taste so delicious that you'll forget you're on a diet.

More tips on how to avoid becoming deficient in particular nutrients are also included in the early chapters of the book. Recipes you can expect to find include:

Breakfast recipes like smoothies, porridges, and different recipes for eggs. Each of the breakfast recipes will take only 5-10 minutes to make, and some of them can even be prepared the night before. This is for all of you, busy bees
Lunch and dinner recipes for our meat lovers that include rice, pasta, salads, soups, and other miscellaneous meals. These recipes are filling and have serving sizes that will help you stick to the low-FODMAP guideline. Most of these recipes will yield more than one serving so you can refrigerate and keep the leftovers for later in the week.
Snack recipes that are more like treats These goodies will help you between meals, and, believe it or not, they are all low in FODMAP Some of these snacks are perfect to nibble on throughout the day, but some of them are a little less healthy, so make sure to pay attention to the serving size for each snack
Vegetarian and Vegan meals We have separate sections for vegetarian and vegan recipes because we recognize that your restrictions are not the same We also do give some suggestions throughout the main lunch and dinner chapter for making those meals fit your dietary restrictions.
