It’s holiday time, which means food galore, and VSL#3 is providing delicious recipes for IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). I know at least two people in my immediate circle who suffer from IBS. Chances are, you know someone dealing with the same or a similar issue such as UC (ulcerative colitis) or ileal pouch. According to a Harris Poll* conducted on behalf of VSL#3, up to 20% of U.S. adults have IBS symptoms, and about 75% of IBS sufferers get relief from symptoms with a low-FODMAP diet. (FODMAP = Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols, or more simply, short-chain carbohydrates.)
Preparing meals for those who suffer these conditions can oftentimes be confusing, and the sufferer may not really know what foods are best for his/her comfort! VS#3, a probiotic medical food, provided me a cookbook and recipe cards to try some IBS-friendly recipes. I assure you that the meals in Flavor without FODMAPS, the cookbook by Patsy Catsos, contained easy, crowd-pleasing recipes–perfect for holiday (and any day!) cooking.

In addition to eating an IBS-friendly diet, finding the right probiotic can help. VSL#3 is a proprietary formulation of a mix of 8 strains of live lactic acid bacteria, making it one of the few probiotics with this many strains, and is at least 10 times more potent than the average probiotic.
VSL#3 differs from other probiotics in that it is a medical food, not a supplement, and therefore must be used under medical supervision. I invite you to visit VSL#3 for more information. Use the code “DOCTOR” at checkout for $5 off your next purchase!
