 Disappointing December 1, 2008
After reading an up to date version of Larrian Gilespie,MD You Don't Have to Live with Cystitis, I find this cookbook not up to date(10 years old). I am wheat intolerant and dairy intolerant as well am so many recipes are based on these two ingredients.There are many recipes with nuts as well which Larrian says IC people are not tolerant of so it is not of much use to me.
Easy to use July 15, 2008
Easy to follow, but very plain recipes...but if you are on the IC diet already then you will be used to it and enjoy this book.
 A must for people with IC June 16, 2008
A must read for people diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis. A comprehensive explanation of the disease and other related diseases. Great explanations of foods that are safe and troublesome. Although I have not made any of the recipes yet, they do look good with easy to get ingredients.
The best IC book I have purchased April 5, 2008
I was diagnosed with IC 3 years ago. I joined the IC Association and buy books they suggest and other items. I could not put this book down. It answered alot of my questions. It is not just a cookbook. She has IC and has friends with IC. They experiment with products they hear could help with symptoms of IC and she puts the results in her book. The recipes are great and she discusses each food in detail why IC sufferers may have flare ups from them. She gives alot of websites for information about IC and other illnesses related to IC sufferers. There is alot of reading and if you skip over you may miss something you could use. For example, this is the first I have heard of this but she tells of using alittle baking soda in a glass of water for burning pain. The other night I had a flare up and felt like I was on fire. The burning was so bad. I remembered that she said baking soda worked for her. Even though it tastes yuk, when you are in so much pain you don't care. I used it and within a few minutes the burning was gone. I used it three times so far and had the same great results. She also has in the back an index for vegetarian recipes, and Low Oxalate recipes. Would recommend to all IC patience. She describes how to test food also to find out what flares IC symptoms. Thanks to the author. Lora
another bad book March 28, 2008
bad recipes. basically the main idea is to cook things with no spice. main idea-everything is off limits. not sure why youd need recipes for that.
