Books/Resources

Here is a list of options for learning about the Low-Fodmap Diet.  I highly recommend purchasing a book from these experts. If you comb the Internet you will find many contradictions and misleading information, or only bits and pieces which do not tell you the whole story!  All of these books combine education and recipes to make the low-FODMAP diet easier to follow.

If you are starting out on the Low-FODMAP Diet, get these two books:

1. The Everything® Low-FODMAP Diet Cookbook – by Colleen Francioli, CNC: “After you try a few recipes in my book and get more acquainted with low-FODMAP foods and ingredients, your confidence in the diet will be boosted, your creative juices flowing and hopefully you too will be inspired to create your own low-FODMAP dishes!”                                                                                                                           Along with 300 low-FODMAP and gluten-free recipes, this book also includes a basic guide on the low-FODMAP diet, as well as meal plans, snack ideas, low- and high-FODMAP lists as well as diet survival tips and additional health resources.  So many of the fans over atFODMAPLife ask for recipes on a daily basis and they will now have several to choose from with this book. Included in the book are breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack recipes, condiments, sauces and dressings, cookies, bars, desserts, drinks as well as a chapter “from scratch” featuring recipes for low-FODMAP bread, pizza dough and more. Vegetarian, vegan as well as main dishes and snacks for children also have their own chapters.  Buy on Amazon
2. The Everything® Guide to the Low-FODMAP Diet – The companion book toThe Everything® Low-FODMAP Diet Cookbook, this book walks you through the step-by-step process for identifying your individual sensitivities–and gives you options and substitutions (and many recipes) so you can enjoy your favorite foods again.  Dr. Barbara Bolen is a licensed Clinical Psychologist, a Health Coach, and a health writer, who has over 25 years of experience in helping people to feel better.

 IBS-Free Recipes for the Whole Family (The Flavor without FODMAPs Series) (Volume 2)

I found IBS-Free Recipes for the Whole Family to be more than a recipe book. It is also a good resource for a beginner or for someone already following a low-FODMAP diet. No matter how busy you are, or how unfamiliar with FODMAPs, this book will make your journey healthier and easier. Get ready to create delicious meals and snacks, learn how to navigate food labels and create a healthy pantry.

Flavor without FODMAPs Cookbook: Love the Foods that Love You Back

Patsy Catsos, M.S., R.D.N, L.D., is a nutritionist on a mission to reduce pain and improve quality of life for clients with digestive health issues, especially irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

Re-challenging and Reintroducing FODMAPS: A self-help guide to the entire reintroduction phase of the low FODMAP This book is very easy to follow and is a great resource.  When following the low-FODMAP diet I still highly advise for everyone to work with a FODMAP-trained nutritionist or RD, however, this book is very helpful for all the questions you have about strategy with regard to the phases of the diet.  This exceptional book is written by Lee Martin, MSc RD “who has personally completed the diet and recently worked at King’s College London researching the evidence behind the low FODMAP diet.”
The book will provide a structured re-challenging protocol to follow and expose the two main methods you can use to re-challenge individual FODMAPs. A set of tables are provided which detail the foods containing individual FODMAPs to be re-challenged, along with the appropriate portion sizes to consume. Explanations of FODMAP tolerance levels and FODMAP thresholds will help you understand your results.” Buy on Amazon

Grain Brain by David Perlmutter, MD buy on Amazon

Renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, blows the lid off a topic that’s been buried in medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain. And not just unhealthy carbs, but even healthy ones like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, and much more. Dr. Perlmutter explains what happens when the brain encounters common ingredients in your daily bread and fruit bowls, why your brain thrives on fat and cholesterol, and how you can spur the growth of new brain cells at any age. He offers an in-depth look at how we can take control of our “smart genes” through specific dietary choices and lifestyle habits, demonstrating how to remedy our most feared maladies without drugs.
