Le charme discret de l’intestin by Giulia Enders (2017)

This book is a pioneer in making knowledge about the gut microbiome accessible to the general public. It is almost unnecessary to introduce it. With humor and stunning illustrations, the author explains everything you need to know about the intestine without taboos.

Je mange sans FODMAPs by Léa Zubiria (2020)

For individuals suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, this book serves as a good introduction to the low-FODMAP diet, accompanied by guidance from a dietitian. It explains the different types of FODMAPs in an accessible way, how they can cause issues for those with bowel disorders, and the principles of the low-FODMAP diet. It is filled with explanations and positivity. The author also offers a few low-FODMAP recipes for the exclusion phase.

Please note that the low-FODMAP diet is only recommended for those with irritable bowel syndrome. We advise seeking support from a healthcare professional if you decide to follow this diet, as it can lead to deficiencies or even malnutrition. It should not be maintained long-term; the goal is to identify which foods trigger symptoms and which are digested without any problems, allowing for dietary adjustments.
