To Chile or Not to Chile? That Is the Question for the 1 Out of 7 People Affected Worldwide by IBS
SOUTH WEST, Colo., Aug. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Stomach sensitivity doesn't necessarily mean you have to avoid consuming chile peppers. That is why American Southwest author Amy Laura introduces Calm Tummy Happy Heart, the first Low FODMAP cookbook from the U.S. with recipes certified by Monash University.
- "When I began recipe testing, I was concerned that an IBS diet would require bland ingredients, and that chile peppers would need to be eliminated," says Laura.
- Within three days of eating strictly low FODMAP portions of foods, Laura felt relief for the first time in three decades."
- A team on the management of IBS conducted by the American College of Gastroenterology suggested that a low FODMAP diet can be used for overall symptom improvement in IBS.
- Following a low FODMAP diet can offer relief for 70 to 75 percent of those dealing with IBS related symptoms.
