Description
Diet modification is the first line of treatment for Interstitial Cystitis, which is just now becoming known for the debilitating chronic condition that it is. Practitioners can help stop the pain of IC through helping clients identify their trigger foods, determine safer foods to eat, and by offering support through their transition to a less inflammatory diet. This book covers the latest IC nutrition information and research, lists of trigger foods, safer menu ideas, and helpful resources.
