Relief of bloating, gas, cramps constipation and diarrhea without drugs and antibiotics - Science Based Dietary Solution for IBS
Dr. Michael R. Eades, Co-author of New York Times Best Seller, Protein Power says "Even people with the most challenging symptoms will be pleased with their improvement. I cannot recommend this book heartily enough."
Why the Fast Tract Diet works for IBS?
Because the author figured out how to control Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO), the real cause of IBS through diet. Unfortunately, conventional treatments and medicines do not address SIBO, yet carry significant side effects and health risks. WebMD on medications for IBS states No single medicine has been shown to be effective in relieving IBS over the long term.
The Fast Tract Diet is superior to other diets including Paleo, FODMAP, Low Starch, Low Carb, Specific Carb, and Elemental diets for IBS because it employs Dr. Robillard s novel measurement for symptom potential in foods called Fermentation Potential (FP). The FP system was presented at the recent Digestive Disease Week meeting in May, 2013 to provide a different treatment option to gastroenterologists for treating SIBO-related conditions.
The Fast Tract Digestion IBS sorts out over 300 foods from the most likely to cause symptoms to the least likely and gives a point system to measure symptom potential in foods. Over forty recipes, snacks and desserts are also included. The Fast Tract Diet is based on solid and extensive research and the latest developments in medical science.
SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)is the common connection in IBS, acid reflux, celiac disease, asthma, restless leg syndrome, rosacea and several other conditions. Addressing SIBO with this diet offers benefits that go well beyond IBS.
Excerpt
Forward
"People with IBS - and any other SIBO-related condition - can benefit from this book. Dr. Robillard shows the reader why the Fast Tract approach is superior to other diets, drugs, and even antibiotics, which are often prescribed in an off-label manner for IBS...The antibiotic option is one many physicians choose for treatment, but readers of this book will think twice about going on such a regimen until all other options are explored. Dr. Robillard created limits only the most difficult-to-digest carbohydrates. Thus, the means of relief is flexible where both the types and amounts of symptom-causing foods can be adjusted based on personal dietary preference.Even people with the most challenging symptoms will be pleased with their improvement. I can't recommend this book heartily enough." --Dr. Michael R. Eades
Professional Reviews
It helps my patients
This works. It is now well established that the majority of digestive problems are caused or exacerbated by bacterial overgrowth (or at least the imbalance of the different bacteria present). Well in this book you are provided with a foolproof way of starving those bad bacteria that are likely to ferment the food you eat, create gas and cause problems. I'm a chiropractor and many of my patients complain of digestive problems and so I've gotten into the habit of doing what's called abdominal percussion on every patient.
This is the act of tapping one's own finger over the abdomen and listening to the sound produced. The more tympanic and hollow the sound the more gas or air is present under the finger. Every patient that has ever complained about irritable bowel symptoms to me has had a very hollow percussion sound over the intestinal area which is in great contrast to a healthy individual. Making suggestions based on this book has been very effective in both improving the patients' symptoms and changing that tympanic sound when performing abdominal percussion. -- Bojan Peric
MY IBS-SIBO CURE
I recently ordered the kindle version of "Fast Track Digestion-IBS". Finally, after all my years of searching and trying to overcome my persistent, debilitating IBS systems, I have found relief.
My story: I was diagnosed with IBS when I was 13 years old. I continued to suffer after following the Dr.'s orders to increase fiber in my diet. At 17, after repeating the test 3 times, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, though the biopsy was inconclusive. I experienced some improvement off wheat, but continued to suffer with bouts of severe stomach pain and urgent diarrhea. I was prescribed Paxil which seemed only to mask the symptoms. My chronic stomach problems continued and intensified even on a strict gluten and dairy free diet. A year ago, I was diagnosed with SIBO, but the Gastro doctor I saw didn't seem to think that was the cause of my troubles. I asked her if there was any diet I could try to get some relief, and she said there was not. When I mentioned that I felt somewhat better when I ate (sort of) Paleo, she was adamant that there was no connection. Fast forward to finding this amazing IBS book!!
I started reading it and could not stop. It was awesome to find someone who speaks my language. I've tried SCD and Paleo and still have had so many issues, probably from eating too much fruit/fructose and copious amounts of honey. I am so happy to find on your diet, already I can "cheat" a little with a few organic gluten free cookies, on a very limited basis, and some extra dark chocolate. I'm also learning to bake with almond flour and strictly limit starchy foods, focusing on all meats, many vegetables, eggs and just a little fruit.
After just a few days on your IBS fast track diet, I was already feeling amazing. Totally amazing!! I waited a couple weeks just to make sure it wasn't a fluke before sending this letter. I strongly believe the FP (fermentation potential) of foods is the GOLDEN KEY to unlocking my chronic,
debilitating symptoms, specifically SIBO-IBS. Fast-track Digestion WORKS!!!!
I feel hope, which is something I haven't experienced in a long time, in regards to my awful stomach issues. I have always dreamed of traveling, and now with your Fast Track diet, I believe that one day soon that dream is going to become a reality. Honestly, I was at the point of thinking I would have to leave my fast-paced job as a legal secretary, a challenging job I really enjoy. I always knew it wasn't stress but diet related, no matter how many times doctors tried to give me anti-depressants.
If I ever meet you in person, I want to give you a great big hug!!! I am absolutely thrilled to be feeling well again. I feel as though I've been given a new lease on life. Waking up every morning with stomach pain, feeling like I was suffering from a constant stomach bug, fearing to eat lunch at work, etc. etc. are all just a bad memory now.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Dr. Robillard. I can't say how grateful I am. -- JRo
Based upon reality and not someone's idea of a diet
I was diagnosed with H. Pylori and then SIBO. I lost too much weight because I was afraid to eat anything. Following this diet makes much more sense than anything else that I have tried. I have improved 85% from where I was......occasionally I still have a little nausea but so much better than I had been.
The author explains what foods create the SIBO, and I am thrilled that his background is based upon science and not just another person's idea of a diet. About the only thing I wish I could figure out is how much Fermentation Potential there is in one 10 z bottle of Ensure Clear, which I do drink when my nausea sneaks up! I am so glad I bought the book. The next time I see my gastro doctor I will tell her about it. I think others would really benefit from this book! Thanks! -- Kim R
