 - the info you need to have.New to this "syndrome", I have been thoroughly confused about what I can and cannot eat. This book gave a very good simple introduction on the usual "trigger' foods, and was upbeat enough to emphasize the things that a person CAN do with this affliction. The recipes are OK, but the real value, I thought, was in explaining the new way of living and eating that a person has to adapt to. Rating:  - IC Information & CookbookThis book had information about how IC has affected the author which was helpful to me because I had just recently been diagnosed. There are many recipes which are tasty. She also has a nice selection of different ones to try. It helps to try the different foods and find out which ones are good for you. Rating: - Eat Interstitial CystitisDoctor said I had Interstitial Cystitis in 2008. I was relieved to know my pain would be in controlled (after having this since 2007,) now that I knew what it was. Unfortunately the medication I was prescribed for; I can't afford ($800) bottle of mediation for a 3 month period that only had a 20% chance helping my discomfort. So then, I went onto the internet to learn more. This book helped me allot! I learned more about IC. I got into the habit of avoiding some foods (that I ate all the time) in replace of trying new foods. I would drink more and more water than anything else. Also this cookbook helped me learn how to cook meals. Eventually it eliminated most too all my pain. I was so focused in my condition I decided to dedicate my life to this book. I saved money to pay my medical bills off and stuck to the IC diet. No chocolate, artificial sweeteners', fish/seafood, coke or alcohol (the list is endless.) I even lowered my sodium and yeast in take. Went onto the diet for months and stopped seeing the expensive doctor, lost 9 pounds and in control. WATCH OUT! :) Rating:  - book isn't so helpfulI was disappointed with this book. Much of the information is outdated, and the recipes just weren't that good. Way too many pre-packaged, store bought stuff which is difficult for IC patients to use. She also uses too many items that most IC patients can't eat. I was really looking for a cookbook with from scratch recipes using only ingredients that are generally considered IC-safe. But this isn't it--since you have to go through each recipe and modify it to take out ingredients, whats the point? I do that with my regular cookbooks anyway, and they have better recipes. so, I'm still looking for a solid, safe, from scratch IC cookbook. Rating: - A Taste of the Good Life: A Cookbook for an Interstitial Cystitis DietBought this book for my wife who suffers from IC, and she loves it. She has suffered from inflamations due to eating some of the wrong foods, but that will be a thing of the past because of the recipes found in this book. As a plus, this book arrived quicker than any book I have purchased from ASmazon.com to date. I ordered it on Friday Dec 26 and it was delivered to my post office on the following Sunday Dec 28. I picked it up on Monday. Thanks. |
