The FODMAP Reintroduction Plan and Cookbook: Conquer Your IBS While Reclaiming the Foods You Love is the second book in the series, after The Low-FODMAP IBS Solution Plan & Cookbook. The author does go through the basic principles of the FODMAP diet, different types of IBS, how to test your body for trigger ingredients, and the reintroduction of foods your body can tolerate. There is a good chart that goes through the different types of sugars that can be triggers and which types of ingredients fall under each. The FODMAP Reintroduction Plan and Cookbook is more of a self-help book, with cartoon-like pictures that would be better in a pamphlet. Recipes are scattered throughout the book, during each stage of the process, but they unfortunately are not easily accessible later. Without a table of contents for the recipes, or a separate index, they are impossible to find without paging through the whole book. That being said, there are some good recipes, including the following:

Savory Bacon-Wrapped Scallops
"Harvest in Snow" Asian Lettuce Wraps
Decadent Chocolate Raspberry Mug Cake
Quinoa Power Bowl with Southwest Dressing
Sheet Pan Orange Chicken with Broccoli
Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies

As someone with IBS, I can say that many of the recipes will not work for me. IBS is individual, meaning that one person's triggers will not be the same as someone else. In fact, even people in the same family often have issues with different foods. The recipes are more guidelines, showing how it is possible to eat normally despite IBS. I did learn a couple of facts that I did not know, but this book is more geared to newcomers to the FODMAP reintroduction plan.

Disclaimer: I was given an Advanced Reader's Copy by NetGalley and the publisher. The decision to read and review this book was entirely my choice.

This was a clear, easy to read recipe book. I enjoyed the colourful pictures and thought it was very eye catching and striking.

Thank you for the advanced reader copy.

Having been made aware many years ago that a FODMAP diet would be my best option regarding the chronic inflammation found in my body and my abdominal issues, I am always appreciative when I see a new FODMAP book out, whether it be one on the benefits, etc, of said diet and information on how it could help your health issues or just a straight-up recipe book - I have found both to be of huge benefit previously.

This book has a little information about using FODMAP, an introduction to the basics, if you will, and then the rest of the pages are filled with vibrantly coloured photographs of a whole array of tasty-sounding dishes. I have tried quite a few of these options now and have found them to be very easy to make, usually without the need to stock up on pantry items that are quite obscure, and each meal I have so far made has been delicious to tuck into. What more could you ask for?

Found this book very easy to follow and well planned in introducing food which previously caused problems. Everyone know that what one can't eat, are the things one most wish to eat. This book allows the eating of these foods, that have been a problem with IBS. By slowly reintroducing to the diet, in a measured approach, these food can be enjoyed again. Recipes are good and easy and the layout o the book is very user friendly. Thanks you NetGalley and the publishers for the DRC

This book is super helpful for anyone suffering from IBS. It’s got a wonderful starter chapters on how to figure out your triggers.

I, personally, don’t have IBS but I do have friends that do. I wanted this book so I am able to cook for my friends without making them sick after.

The recipes are amazing. And honestly I was able to adapt a few (so far) for non-IBS friendly meals. (The Chai flavored French toast is one!)

As with most cookbooks, I wish there were more pictures but that’s my only slight “issue”.

I just reviewed The FODMAP Reintroduction Plan and Cookbook by Rachel Pauls. #TheFODMAPReintroductionPlanandCookbook #NetGalley
[NetGalley URL]. I will be buying this cookbook! It will be good for me to plan out how to eat more beneficially to decrease my pain from Inflammation. There are so many good tips in here to help with multiple chronic conditions that will get you on track to a better life with less discomfort. I am happy that I decided to read and research this cookbook, and I can't wait to get started on my journey. A big thanks to the Author and Publisher for allowing me to read this cookbook for free in return for my honest review.

This cookbook is meant to help you adjust to low FODMAP foods or common digestive triggers. The cookbook has several photos which I always appreciate. The recipes looked easy and delicious.
They are simple enough where you do not have to buy expensive and hard-to-find ingredients. I love that Rachel Pauls includes very helpful tips for each recipe as well as substitution ideas. It is very beginner friendly and very easy to follow along.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a helpful guide to eliminating and reintroducing foods to your diet. The book highlights typical foods that can cause IBS and other common GI issues and how to cook around them when needed. There's a nice collection of recipes that can help feel like your diet isn't so restrictive. There's not a lot of options if you're vegan per se, but it's a pretty thorough book if you're looking for help cutting out the right foods.

A great plan for just testing irritants. Great at explaining what else mite be an irritant or How to find out what really is upsetting you.

This was my first time reading about FODMAP but this book is not for beginners like me, It’s a Phase 2 - reintroduction. It does briefly talk about what it is but the focus is reintroducing foods to your diet. There are also recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts and snacks. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

The FODMAP Reintroduction Plan and Cookbook was discovered at the perfect time! This book really is meant to be a reintroduction plan, so if you’ve not been following the early phases of FODMAP plan, this will be informational only. There is a little bit of background information provided on FODMAP and then a great discussion centered on the importance of reintroduction. If you, or a loved one, has been following the FODMAP and are ready to start reintroducing foods, you will love this book. The recipes are vetted, and each chapter provides a discussion and rationale for when and how to reintroduce different food types. There are helpful suggestions and tips along the way that are based on experience as well as research.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

This book is refreshing for those on the FODMAP diet. The author explains what a FODMAP is, what categories certain ingredients fall into, and how readers can maximize their dietary needs by using the author's easy-to-follow recipes. The recipes in this book look so delicious and the pictures are very crisp and clear. I would recommend this book for those who may be considering a low FODMAP diet for IBS or gastrointestinal issues.

THINGS I LIKE:

* functional but visually pleasing design and layout
* magazine-worthy photos for most dishes
* actual reintroduction plans to follow step by step (more below)
* uses plant-based milks
* provides weight measurements too (e.g. "1/2 cup (60g) flaxmeal")
* special icon that indicates vegan
* special icon that indicates GF
* minimal ingredients
* mostly "normal" ingredients
* nutritional information is provided
* author is an M.D.

The introduction plan is simple but helpful for those who are nervous about "doing it right." There are two types of introduction stages and it is very clear in what you should do.

THINGS I DID NOT LIKE:

* use of corn syrup (YIKES!)
* some of the same-ol-same-ol "recipes" like a peanut butter banana smoothie or yogurt + berries, or avocado toast

* garlic-infused oil
* not many "real meal" vegan recipes (mostly oatmeal, salads, dessert for vegans)

note: the infused oil is a common ingredient in FODMAP recipes/cookbooks as it's the only way to get the taste of garlic "safely" but I've never seen this type of speciality oil at any supermarket and the gourmet ones online are expensive ($17.99 from Fody Foods).

RECIPES I MADE:

#1 carrot cake breakfast cookies. It calls for an egg, which I left out, especially since there was 1/2 cup of flax meal, which is a typical egg replacer. I also used a nut butter instead of coconut oil. The recipe said to bake them, but the recipe is nearly identical to a no-bake recipe I make often so I opted not to bake them (especially without the egg) and they were fine. I think they'd have been too dry with coconut oil (instead of nut better) and baked. They definitely aren't what I consider a "cookie" but they are fine little oat "energy balls."

#2 "speculoos cookie" overnight oats. This was good; I omitted the sugar but did add the almond butter. It didn't taste like a speculoos "airplane cookie" to me but it was still delicious, though a little more laborious than I like my ONOs to be. I prefer to just put it all in a jar and move on. This required baking things first.

#3 slow cooker vegan sloppy joes. I served them over baked potatoes rather than trying to find a FODMAP friendly vegan bun. I love that it uses quinoa and not a lot of sugar. Will make again without tempeh.

#4 tropical salad with spinach. Didn't feel like a meal without "a protein" like nuts or tofu. This is a FODMAP recipe problem I bump into often. spinach + cucumber + pineapple + dressing is delicious but not all that satiating.

#5 cauliflower tempura with mustard dipping sauce. I decided to air-fry cauliflower instead of breading and frying but thought it was cool she used club soda for the tempura batter. The dipping sauce was just okay. I didn't have mirin or mustard powder and I'm not sure my substitutes (dijon mustard, white wine vinegar) were the best.

There were a few other vegan recipes that I didn't try:

- pumpkin granola
- brownie truffle bites
- orange almond salad
- grapefruit orange smoothie/juice
- quinoa with raisins and carrots
- spaghetti aglio e olio (If I liked spaghetti I would have tried this; sounded good)
- chickpea potato soup
- vegetable sandwich (mayo, veggies, bread)
- microwave plum crisp

Thanks netgalley for my ARC

This a really interesting and fairly short book about reintroducing food when you've been keeping to the low fodmap diet. I myself keep to a low formal diet and experiment here and there with foods to see if I have a reaction. I really enjoyed learning how to strategically re-introduce foods I've been cutting out.

Synopsis (from Netgalley, the provider of the book for me to review.)
*********************************************************
In her first book, The Low-FODMAP IBS Solution Plan & Cookbook, FODMAP expert and IBS sufferer Dr. Rachel Pauls showed you how to manage your IBS symptoms by eliminating FODMAPs from your diet. Now she guides you through the second phase of the clinically proven low-FODMAP diet, Reintroduction (also known as the FODMAP Challenge Phase), where you’ll discover which foods you can add back to your diet while keeping your IBS symptoms under control.
If you’ve tried the low-FODMAP diet to manage your IBS, you know that phase 1, Elimination, is pretty restrictive. You are not meant to stay on the Elimination diet forever, but what comes next? The FODMAP Reintroduction Plan and Cookbook will help you learn which foods you can and can’t tolerate through individual challenges, so you can enjoy more food freedom while still feeling great.
In this book, Dr. Rachel Pauls carefully guides you through the stages of Reintroduction, providing a detailed plan including which foods to test, how much, how often, and how to interpret your results —while minimizing IBS flares. She also includes over 60 delicious, easy-to-cook, recipes for testing and maintaining your low-FODMAP diet, including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Learn your tolerances and manage your symptoms with simple, satisfying recipes
If you’re one of 45 million Americans living with IBS, don’t live with it anymore! Let this book guide you through the second phase of your low-FODMAP journey, where you will conquer your symptoms while reclaiming the foods you love.

I have IBS but the FODMAP program did nothing for me except nauseate me: but that does not mean that it would do the same for you. This book is also excellent for people who are convinced that gluten and dairy are poisoning them (sigh...try living with a REAL celiac and someone horrifically allergic to dairy!) so it will apply to those people and patrons as well.
Great recipes that you can then add extras into to make the recipes palatable for everyone: real cheese can be added as well as bread crumbs to make many a dish in here au gratin and au great :-)
If you have IBS, try the FODMAP diet out with this book and her previous one: it may work for you and bring you some relief.
