About Karen Frazier
Karen Frazier is an author who writes books about nutrition, cooking, and holistic healing. She served as a certified personal trainer, fitness instructor, and nutrition adviser for many years. In that capacity, Karen helped clients find diet and exercise plans that worked for them based on their unique health needs. She also worked for nearly a decade as a patient education coordinator in a natural health clinic. Currently she serves as the health, diet, and fitness editor for LoveToKnow.com.
Diagnosed with celiac disease, a dairy allergy, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Karen used her knowledge of nutrition, flavor, and fitness to find the best ways to eat and move for her body. She learned how to overcome her autoimmune disease and concurrent conditions by eating a minimally processed, customized, anti-inflammatory diet. It is Karen's philosophy that no single diet works for every person, but that by understanding how food affects the body, it is possible to customize a way of eating that meets individual needs. She also believes that no matter how restrictive a diet is, it is still possible to prepare delicious foods.
Now, she shares that information--along with her lifelong passion for cooking and her understanding of building flavors--with others in her cookbooks, which help people with special nutritional needs or on restrictive diets find delicious ways to eat. You can find many of Karen's recipes in her food blog, The Modern Ancestor.
Along with being a long-time food blogger and passionate cook, Karen loves writing about wine and cocktails. She earned a California Wine Appellation Specialist (CWAS) certificate from the San Francisco Wine School and served as LoveToKnow's wine editor. She also enjoys bartending and creating signature cocktails for non-profit fundraisers. Additionally, Karen writes wine, gourmet, cooking, and cocktails articles for LoveToKnow.
Karen is a Nia White Belt. In her spare time, she volunteers in her community, plays the piano and flute, cooks most meals from scratch, explores nearby wineries and distilleries in Washington and Oregon, hikes, designs jewelry, practices yoga, enjoys the Nia technique, engages in tribal belly dance, and spends time with her family, friends, and pets.

Other low-FODMAP cookbooks take a one-size-fits-all approach to IBS. The Flexible FODMAP Diet Cookbook focuses on your specific IBS symptoms with low-FODMAP diet variations proven to target your unique dietary needs. You CAN find an eating plan that works for you and take your life back for good.
Living with Irritable Bowl Syndrome is uncomfortable, frustrating, and isolating. Figuring out which foods trigger symptoms (and avoiding them) can feel impossible. Many people with IBS are also affected by coexisting conditions—such as acid reflux, celiac disease, and food allergies—which exacerbate IBS symptoms that already require special dietary attention.
The Mayo Clinic recognizes the low-FODMAP diet as a proven means of treating IBS caused by FODMAP sensitivities. FODMAPs are hard-to-digest carbohydrates found in common foods such as wheat, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and sweeteners. Most of us consume FODMAPs so regularly we likely trigger IBS symptoms without knowing it.
With The Flexible FODMAP Diet Cookbook you’ll identify your personal food triggers by pinpointing which FODMAP group provokes your symptoms. The low-FODMAP recipes in this book accommodate coexisting conditions, as well as the needs of IBS-C (constipation-dominated IBS) and IBS-D (diarrhea-dominated IBS).
The solution presented in The Flexible FODMAP Diet Cookbook covers three important steps:
- STEP 1. CUSTOMIZE YOUR LOW-FODMAP MEAL PLAN from the mix and match meal plans according to your personal needs. For example, if you suffer from IBS and GERD, choose Plan A, which excludes both FODMAPs and acid reflux food triggers. Plan B is a basic low-FODMAP meal plan, and Plans C and D offer low-FODMAP meal plans for sufferers of IBS-C, IBS-D, or IBD in remission.
- STEP 2. ELIMINATE ALL FODMAP & FOOD TRIGGERS that may cause an irritable bowel. Recipes include substitution tips for gluten or “Big 8” food allergens, and texture modification tips for IBS dominated by constipation or diarrhea.
- STEP 3. IDENTIFY YOUR PERSONAL FOOD TRIGGERS by using the Food Reintroduction Worksheet to track your GI response as you gradually reintroduce FODMAPs one at a time.
Whether you suffer from IBS or from the combined symptoms of one or more co-existing conditions, The Flexible FODMAP Diet Cookbook offers you the knowledge, tools, and guidance you need to stop living in fear of food and start controlling your symptoms with the low-FODMAP choices you make.
Nutrition Facts is the most fact-checked book about nutrition. In it, you’ll find all you need to know about:
• The link between nutrition and health
• How the body processes food
• The truth about diets and nutrition regimes
• The value of nutrients
• Building healthy eating habits
• How to use nutrition to curtail ailments and allergies
