yeah, it's pretty much your "typical" UC book as far as the disease info goes- there are chapters explaining what UC/Crohns is, how it's diagnosed, current treatments, etc. None of this will be new information for most of us here! But the recipes are quite good- there are a lot of them, from brkfst to dessert, beverages included. And each recipe has info on pertinent nutritional facts, if the dish is high/low fiber, what specific nutrients good for UC/Crohns is in it, if the dish is good for eating while flaring, etc. I bookmarked at least half a dozen to photocopy. I grab up every UC diet/recipe book I see, especially from the library!
