Simple, Appealing and Practical Diet Resource for IC Patients,
By Jill O. (Wine Country of California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Confident Choices: A Cookbook for IC and OAB (Confident Choices for Interstitial Cystitis) (Paperback)
Julie Beyer's latest book, "Confident Choices: A Cookbook for IC and Overactive bladder" will be a lovely addition to IC libraries around the world. A perfect complement to her first book "Confident Choices: Customizing the IC Diet," Julie uses this new publication to walk the novice patient through essential IC diet basics and she does it in a style that is simple, easy to understand and inherently practical.
As the first book written by a registered dietitian with IC, Julie's focus is on educating a patient about healthy, balanced diet, particularly for patients who feel confused and overwhelmed about what to eat when you have a tender, irritated bladder. It's a perfect resource for patients who are afraid to eat for fear of causing an IC flare. The section on "rescue menus" will be greatly appreciated by patients currently struggling with a sensitive bladder. Yes, Virginia, you can eat when you have IC but you must choose your foods carefully. With a positive and encouraging tone and style, Julie reminds her readers about key nutrition basics. She focuses on keeping the IC diet simple and practical. Her are some highlights: * She offers an excellent list of IC friendly food substations. For example, pear or blueberry juice can be used in place of lemon juice or vinegar in many recipes. * For patients embarking on an elimination diet, she offers a step by step guide on how to determine which, if any, foods you are sensitive to. * She offers sample menu ideas for every meal * A variety of very appealing recipes for each meal are included * The printable shopping list will help patients .... Some of you may wonder how this book differs from the best selling "A Taste of the Good Life: A Cookbook for an IC Diet," written by Bev Laumann. Like Bev, Julie has an impressive knowledgebase. You know that you're reading material that has been created with a tremendous amount of thought and research. Where Bev's book is ideal for patients who love to cook and spend time in the kitchen, Julie's books are perfect for patients who want to approach diet simply or who simply don't want to spent a lot of time cooking. The recipes are simple and very appealing.

Good, but uneven,
By
This review is from: Confident Choices: A Cookbook for IC and OAB (Confident Choices for Interstitial Cystitis) (Paperback)
As a source book for Interstitial Cystitis, this is very useful. As a cook book, it's not entirely trustworthy. The recipes I have used all have needed modification to work well. For example, the recipe for Spinach Feta Quiche calls for 2 ten ounce packages of frozen spinach, and a nine inch pie crust. I tried that, and the filling overflowed the pan when I put it in the crust. I used 1 package of spinach the next time, and it was just the right amount, and was delicious. Don't even try the microwave scrambled eggs. Like eating a sponge!
