Heal Your IBS with More Than 100 Low-FODMAP Recipes That Prep in 30 Minutes or Less

Rachel Pauls, M.D.

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

This book should not be relied upon for any medical or dietary advice or replace the care of a health care provider. The research and science surrounding FODMAPs and IBS is rapidly evolving. While the recipes in this book are intended to be low-FODMAP based upon available information at the time of writing (2020), none of them has been subjected to formal laboratory analysis for FODMAPs. If you experience negative symptoms related to any of the recipes, stop eating that food and contact your health care provider.

Welcome!

I am so glad to meet you.

We are going to be embarking on an exciting journey. A journey that will change your life.

If you are reading this book, chances are that you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or another digestive problem. The symptoms are intrusive and impacting your life. You are here because you need help.

You have come to the right place. I am going to provide you with the solution for your digestive problems. This solution will heal your gut, balance your spirit, and result in a healthier and happier you.

A healthy intestine is a very important aspect of our overall well-being. In fact, up to 90 percent of our bodys serotonin (our happy hormone) is produced in our intestinal tract. That means that healing your gut can make you happy from the inside out. A healthy intestine has also been linked with better immunity, greater energy, and sharper focus. Dont those sound amazing?

Healing your IBS symptoms will lead to improvements in every part of your life. Would you like to sleep better? Take fewer sick days and achieve more success in your career? What about improving your comfort and spontaneity with intimacy?

You can have all those things. And more.

My solution to your IBS will not only make you feel healthier and happier, but it will empower you for the future.

How am I so certain? For starters, I have been a medical doctor for more than twenty years and have educated countless residents and fellows along the way. As a reconstructive pelvic surgeon who has operated on hundreds of women, I have intimate knowledge of the anatomy of the intestines and understand the role of that anatomy on bowel health. I have counseled patients about their gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and am well aware of the role of diet in improving quality of life. I have published more than ninety-five academic articles and know the ins and outs of all the research.

But that is not the main reason I can help you.

The main reason is, I am just like you. I have IBS. And I have been there. Wearing loose clothes so that my bloated belly wouldnt hurt as the day went on. Sleepless nights in and out of the bathroom. Wondering if I would ever figure out which foods were triggering my symptoms.

It all changed when I discovered the low-FODMAP diet.

The low-FODMAP diet healed me from the inside out. Changing my way of eating ignited my passion for cooking and baking, so I could enjoy my favorite meals without the triggering foods. I got my energy back, my mood improved, and a cloud lifted from my life. I truly became happier.

Now I am beginning a new adventure: sharing my expertise with you, through this book.

This book is for those of you with IBS who are like me. Real people living in the real world. In this book, you will receive all the knowledge and skills to begin the low-FODMAP diet. Ill explain the why, the how, and the when. I will provide you with a four-week meal plan to keep you on track. I will give you shopping lists, ways to manage social situations, and loads of other information.

Ill share 104 of my favorite, delicious recipes plus eleven bonus recipes that come together in 30 minutes or less. All are gluten-free, and many are allergy-friendly, vegan, or vegetarian. After those four weeks of success, I wont abandon you. I will teach you the next steps so that you can continue to feel your best. This book has everything you need.

Are you ready to heal your IBS symptoms, improve your energy, and embark on the path to a healthier and happier you?

This is our journey.

Lets do it.
