Rating: - Wonderful Book for People with UC
I was diagnosed with UC in December of 2001. I studied up on the disease to educate myself and I found recipes here and there that I liked. The problem was that many of the recipes required the purchasing of expensive items at the health food store that I had never heard of. Another problem was that the food was stuff that I normally wouldn't eat. This book is perfect for an average UC patient. By average I mean you're not used to spending a ton of money on your nightly dinner. These recipes taste wonderful and I have already noticed an improvement in my flare-ups. The rest of your family won't tell the difference that the mac and cheese is bowel friendly. I think this is the best UC cook book currently out on the market. I love it!
Rating:  - Not for healing, does not follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet
If you are following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet by Elaine Gottschall, don't buy this book. It doesn't follow the guidelines of the SCD. If you want to be free from symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease and heal yourself, you need to obtain the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottschall and then after starting the diet you can find a handful of great SCD cookbooks right here on [...].
Rating: - Recipes with adjustments for IBD
Reviewed by Irene Watson for Reader Views (11/07)
Brenda Roscher's book is certainly one of the best on the market for anyone with IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) and their families. We often think anyone with IBD can't eat "normal" food and separate cooking for them is essential. This is not the case, and Roscher certainly proves it.
The beginning of the book gives a brief outline of the diseases as well as causes, diagnosis and nutritional facts. The sidebars contain informative tips. The remainder of the book delves into delicious and healthy recipes anyone can enjoy.
Being a muffin fan, the first recipe I tried was Blueberry Muffins. The recipe calls for ΒΌ cup 2% milk or soy milk. I used almond milk as a substitute and it worked great. The muffins are very moist and I would assume it's because of the apple sauce.
I was pleased to see a recipe for Homemade Sausage. Store purchased sausage, whether Farmers, Italian, or Breakfast is extremely high in fat, and often with preservatives. Roscher provides recipes for all three types of sausage. I tried the Breakfast Sausage and we loved it. Roscher suggests ground pork loin which is very low in fat and the seasonings were perfect.
There are many other recipes that I will be trying from "How to Cook for Crohn's and Colitis." Roscher's exceptional book is concise, easy to read, and fitting for anyone with a busy life. Skimming through the recipes it looks like the ingredients would be found in anyone's pantry and certainly at any local grocery store.
