Invaluable resource June 13, 2003
By A Customer
Format:Plastic Comb
Bev Laumann's cookbook is far more than that: it is a carefully researched, thorough, easily comprehended guide for the IC patient. The level of detail is amazing, and is presented so that you can delve deeper if you are inclined, or skip ahead to the many summaries, useful lists and recipes. She is quick to differentiate between what has been demonstrated by scientific methods, what is common people with IC, and what is more anecdotal. The needs of people with related conditions are addressed, especially concerns about balancing low-oxalate and IC diets. Throughout, her tone is positive and encouraging without ever sounding condescending. The book much more than I had hoped for - I can't praise it enough. If you are dealing with IC and frustrated or confused about how to manage food, nutrients, supplements, or cooking, this book should be a terrific help.

As an IC patient and as an IC support group leader, I believe that this is easily the best patient written book on our disease. The author provides thoughtful, balanced and research supported information in an easy to read format. For patients who are thoroughly confused about diet and how it can impact IC, or those who are just beginning to figure out their IC triggers, there is no better resource than this book. I recommend it highly. Kudos to the author! When will your next book be out!

This book is great. In addition to great recipes with easy substitutions for other diseases, this book includes a special treasure of information on IC and its causes, relationship to diet, etc. It is highly educational. I don't cook much since the IC pretty much took away my appetite, but I'd buy this book for the IC information alone! It's hard to find a more complete and useful collection of info about IC and the various diseases that too frequently accompany it.
