Download or read book Customizing the Interstitial Cystitis Diet written by Julie Beyer and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julie Beyer, a registered dietitian and IC patient, understands the pain, frustration, and exhaustion that newly diagnosed patients often face. Beyer dedicates her work to distilling the science of IC down to a practical point of view. The book Customizing the Interstitial Cystitis Diet answers the plea, "Just tell me what to eat!" We now know that up to 11 million people suffer from interstitial cystitis (IC)/painful bladder syndrome (PBS). We also have validation that dietary modification can work to alleviate some of the symptoms of IC, in fact over 90% of patients say that diet affects their symptoms, and changing what they eat and drink can help! However, unlike dietary recommendations for other health conditions, the IC diet is more than just a good food/bad food list. Each patient is individual and just as each responds to different treatments, each patient will have a unique pattern of food triggers. Customizing the Interstitial Cystitis Diet guides patients through a process to determine their personal trigger foods while maintaining nutrition.

Book excerpt: When you have interstitial cystitis, finding recipes and making meals can seem daunting. Shifting the focus to taking care of your mind, body, and soul has now been made easier! Author Elisabeth Yaotani and nutritionist Brianne Thornton, MS, RD have teamed up to bring you over 70 nutritious, and yes "delicious" recipes that center around eating clean and the healthiest options for those with IC and autoimmunity. Each recipe has been carefully selected to address IC as well as laying the foundation for improved health. To address the nuances of personal taste and specific needs, we have even created a substitution list that lets you customize each recipe. How great is that? Our philosophy and approach to better health is to get to the root of the problem and remove the culprits that set off our immune system reactions. The more research that is being done into disease states, the more they are finding that inflammation is often a leading cause. It's critical to boost the nutrients that strengthen our immune system and allow our bodies to return to balance. When we pay attention to diet and lifestyle triggers, we can recognize the problems, take action, and restore our immune system to a state of health and vitality. Features Over 70 delicious anti-inflammatory recipes Free of Gluten, Dairy, and Refined Sugar We have made this transition as easy as possible. Eating clean means that we turn our focus to a diet that includes the healthiest options such as whole organic foods and an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. Once you begin turning away from processed and refined foods, especially refined sugars that are proven to undermine health, you will begin to see the effect that they have had on your body. Clean eating is the base to start from, but it's also important to understand that there may still be foods that trigger inflammation in different people. Knowing your body and tailoring your diet to avoid those triggers is the next level of awareness. Our recipes have been chosen so that they don't include gluten, conventional dairy, or refined sugars, which are three of the most problematic foods for many people. Just because you have interstitial cystitis doesn't mean your diet has to be bland! Begin reversing your IC symptoms today by laying the foundation for health and wellness. The Complete IC Diet Cookbook also includes Product recommendations for clean eating Ingredient substitution list so that you can customize each recipe Meal prepping and shopping guide IC Diet Protocol Supplement guide Recommended teas for wellness

Download or read book The Better Bladder Book written by Wendy L. Cohan and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2011-02-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bladder problems affect millions of people, yet few are comfortable publicly or openly discussing their symptoms, making it difficult for patients with bladder disorders to obtain the support and resources they need. Those who've been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC) or chronic pelvic pain are often told that there is no cure for their ailments. Indeed, standard treatments used with these conditions are not always effective or lasting. As a result, many people with bladder problems are looking for comprehensive information and alternative options for recovery. Wendy Cohan wrote The Better Bladder Book to give people who suffer from bladder problems more options. She guides readers to bladder wellness by emphasizing lifestyle changes and self-treatment. A week-by-week approach begins with an understanding of the diagnosis, leads to discovering the factors that cause or exacerbate symptoms, and ends with implementing the changes needed to reduce symptoms and recover bladder health. Cohan introduces the book with a description of the anatomy and function of the urological system and the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of typical bladder problems. She explains how diet affects the bladder, including the role of food sensitivities, allergies, and intolerance. She creates handy lists of healthful and harmful foods and offers a selection of diets to try, especially allergy elimination, gluten-free, and anti-inflammatory diets. Optional weekly meal plans are included. Like all aspects of health, bladder health is improved by daily exercise, good rest, and a reduction of stress. Cohan describes the benefits of regular exercise on bladder symptoms, its role in stress and pain reduction, boosting the immune system, controlling inflammation, and alleviating depression. Stress reduction techniques are also emphasized. Finally, Cohan supplies tips for a better night's sleep, including practicing good sleep hygiene, additional relaxation exercises, and the use of calming herbal teas. Cohan's goal is to leave no stone unturned in the quest for bladder health. With the diet, exercise, sleep, and relaxation techniques described in the book, the thorough description of medical treatments and procedures, and the question and answer section and other resources, readers should have all the information they need to start their own journey toward better bladder health.

Download or read book Pelvic Pain in Women An Issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics written by Mary T. McLennan and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2014-09-28 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America attempts to provide an overview of the more common causes of chronic pelvic pain in women. It brings together experts in various fields of gynecology, gastroenterology, physical therapy, and urogynecology in an attempt to discuss the wide variety of common clinical conditions that can manifest as pain. The intent is to enable the physician to consider not only the common gynecologic causes but also the common nongynecologic causes based on certain symptom profiles and targeted clinical examination. Should the physician not feel comfortable in treating the nongynecologic causes, it would enable them to target their referral to a more appropriate physician rather than the patient being referred back to a general primary care physician. It is our hope that it will enable the reader to see the pelvis not as an ovary or a uterus but as a whole system of interacting organs, muscles, and nerves. In addtiion, there is very little in the Obstetrics and Gynecology literature about the treatment of the pain component with opioid and nonopioid medications. As one of my colleagues frequently states, we can treat the pain but not necessarily alleviate the suffering. The overview of complementary and alternative medications and opioid use will hopefully be useful to the practicing physician as it provides an evidence-based approach to the use of these therapies specifically for chronic pelvic pain.
Download or read book Endometriosis and Adenomyosis written by Engin Oral and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although endometriosis and adenomyosis are often assessed under the same umbrella, the epidemiology, clinical manifestations and management strategies of endometriosis and adenomyosis occur differently during the life cycle of a woman. Endometriosis can be diagnosed at many points across the lifespan, including adolescence and the climacterium, as well as pregnancy. Being associated with potential adverse health effects, different clinical presentations requiring different therapeutic approaches render it imperative to tailor management strategies for each period of the lifespan: in utero and early life, puberty and adolescence, reproductive years, pregnancy, late reproductive age, and the menopause. This book provides comprehensive insight into the general aspects, diagnosis and treatment modalities of endometriosis and adenomyosis in all stages of a woman’s life - a unique element of its approach. Thematic sections discuss the basics of diagnosis and management of both endometriosis and adenomyosis from birth through menopause, including aspects of fertility preservation, sexual dysfunction, psychological considerations and prevention. The current pharmaceutical approaches and efficacy are presented, including progestins, oral contraceptives, aromatase inhibitors and GnRH agonists and antagonists. The final section provides current practice guidelines for the management of both conditions as well as an investigation into future research and clinical strategies. Taking a truly global perspective, Endometriosis and Adenomyosis will be a valuable resource for reproductive endocrinologists, infertility specialists and obstetricians and gynecologists worldwide.
