IBD-Friendly Recipes for Crohn's and Colitis: Gut Inspired - Teen Approved

Julie Warshaw, an attorney representing children with special needs and medical conditions, and specifically a mom with a teenager diagnosed with IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), she became committed to determining whether diet had an effect on this autoimmune disease. Through her research and the development of these recipes, she was able to assist her daughter, and hopes that this book will assist others with their battle against Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Finding that balance between health and healing, but not taking the joy out of eating, is the key to a successful diet. Although the severity of one's disease and food triggers may dictate individual dietary restrictions, there is hope to find that workable compromise. Her goal to fund research for a cure continues through her charity, Cure for IBD, but this book is one step in that process. She will not stop until a cure is found.
