And its 56 delicious recipes, 24 full-color photos, and comprehensive guides to high- and low-FODMAP foods make this the bible of the low-FODMAP lifestyle. Here is your plan for eating well while finally feeling great. Note: This is the updated and expanded edition of IBS--Free at Last, including its landmark 8-step program.Author Biography
