In this revised edition of his classic work on treating "bad gut" diseases, Dr. James Scala introduces a new dietary plan aimed at helping inflammatory bowel disease achieve remission. Scala emphasizes nutrition as preventative medicine, presenting a drug-free food and lifestyle program designed to alleviate the discomfort associated with chronic gut issues. The book provides step-by-step guidance, including how to develop a personal testing program to identify foods that trigger or relieve symptoms, maintain a food and lifestyle diary, and understand the impact of food allergies on IBD. It addresses lactose, alcohol, and sugar intolerances, and offers strategies for reducing inflammation through complex carbohydrates, proteins, dietary fiber, and omega-3 oils from fish and leafy greens. Readers will find essential do’s and don’ts for food selection, stress reduction techniques, and insights into vitamin and mineral supplements. The book also covers specific cooking methods to prevent flare-ups, medicinal foods for remission, and the emotional factors affecting gut health. With a focus on a significant health concern, this program offers practical solutions for those seeking relief from IBD.
