Take charge of your gut health now with the low-FODMAP diet.

Are you a teen dealing with stomach problems? If so, you're not alone! Fourteen percent of high school students have symptoms of IBS—such as pain, bloating, and frequent trips to the bathroom. Plus (as if that weren't bad enough!), poor gut health can mean missed school days and trips, awkward explanations, extra doctor's visits, and major cafeteria confusion. Here's the good news: In A Teen's Guide to Gut Health, registered dietitian Rachel Meltzer Warren explains how you can find relief—on a low-FODMAP diet.
  • GET DIAGNOSED: Whether it's IBS, Crohn's disease, colitis, or something else, Rachel Meltzer Warren explains the differences and who can help.
  • GET FODMAP SAVVY: "FODMAPs" are certain carbs that can be hard to digest, and they lurk in many kinds of goodfor-you food, from apples to yogurt. Identify your triggers and learn to avoid them—with a twopart elimination diet, shopping lists, meal plans, and more.
  • GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED: No topic is too embarrassing for Meltzer Warren. You'll also find "Real Talk" from real teens throughout!
  • GET COOKING! Plus, 30 simple, gluten-free recipes that are low-FODMAP-approved and great for meals, snacks, and sharing.

        Gr 7 Up-Teens with gastrointestinal disorders often feel uncomfortable and misunderstood by peers and loved ones. Abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and bouts of diarrhea are common symptoms that generally cause undue embarrassment and stress. In this highly engaging volume, Warren, a registered dietitian nutritionist and author of The Smart Girl's Guide to Going Vegetarian, sets out with two goals: to provide detailed information about the inner workings of the digestive system and to promote the use of the low-FODMAP plan. (FODMAP is an acronym referring to common carbohydrates found in diets.) There is an abundance of scientific information (plentiful but not overwhelming) as well as sound steps for managing everyday situations. The tone is laid-back (even somewhat witty), which helps to convey the message in a digestible manner (no pun intended). Supplementing the text are a section of 30 recipes supporting the FODMAP diet and a resource list. A bibliography is included. However, several of the entries are articles from professional journals, which may pose problems in accessing. VERDICT A beneficial guide for teens serious about digestive health.-Jeanette Lambert, formerly at Nashville-Davidson County Schools, TN
