The Low-FODMAP Diet is internationally regarded as the most effective dietary treatment for those suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome and associated dietary illnesses, including lactose and fructose intolerances and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity.

Advanced Accredited Practising Dietician Dr Sue Shepherd was a member of the research team that developed the Low-FODMAP Diet and is its chief advocate. She has spent years teaching and researching the dietary treatment for her thousands of patients and readers. In The Two-Step Low-FODMAP Diet and Recipe Book, Dr Sue Shepherd outlines a plan that offers sufferers an easy-to-follow approach to ensure a symptom-managed enjoyment of good food and promotion of longer-term health.

The first step involves the identification and restriction of high-FODMAP foods that can trigger symptoms; the second step helps users test and phase in foods as tolerated to ensure the diet is as non-restrictive as possible.

Complete with menu plans, shopping guides, travel information, advice on feeding children and restricted ingredient lists, this is a comprehensive and accessible guide to making the low-FODMAP approach part of everyday life. In addition, there are 80 delicious recipes, from breakfast to baked goods, pastas, salads, desserts and lunchbox treats, all based on readily available ingredients and suitable for the entire family.
