Introducing the Crohn’s & Colitis Ireland Diet Information & Recipe Book
We are excited to announce the launch of the Crohn’s & Colitis Ireland Diet Information & Recipe Book—a comprehensive, evidence-based resource designed to empower individuals living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) to confidently manage their diet and improve their overall health.
Why This Book Was Created
Managing diet with IBD can be overwhelming, and finding reliable, practical support can often be a challenge. From our 2024 patient survey, we learned that 68% of IBD patients report lacking access to proper diet and nutrition guidance. This gap in support was one of the main reasons we created this book—to provide you with expert advice, practical tips, and delicious recipes to support your IBD journey.
Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with IBD for years, this resource is designed to be your trusted companion. With more than 100 pages of practical advice and 60+ IBD-friendly recipes, it will help you navigate your diet and improve your quality of life.
What’s Inside the Book?
Expert Advice
Written by Gastroenterology Dietitian Lorraine Cooney, the book was reviewed by a panel of patients, gastroenterologists, and IBD nurses. This ensures that the advice provided is reliable, evidence-based, and tailored specifically to the needs of individuals living with IBD. The book covers everything from how diet can impact symptoms to what foods to focus on to better manage flare-ups and support remission.
60+ Delicious Recipes
The book includes 60+ recipes, all specifically designed to meet the dietary needs of individuals with IBD. From easy-to-digest meals for flare-ups to nourishing plant-based dishes, smoothies, soups, and snacks, there is something for everyone. You’ll discover meals that are both delicious and gentle on your digestive system.
Practical Tips and Strategies
Managing IBD isn't just about what you eat—it’s about living your life to the fullest without constant food-related worries. That's why the book also offers practical strategies for dining out, travelling, and enjoying special occasions. You’ll gain confidence in making informed food choices, no matter where life takes you.
