The IC 101 Flare & Diet Guides – PRINT VERSIONS

Get both the IC Flare Guide & The IC Diet Guide at a reduced price. The Flare Guide is the second book in the IC 101 book series. It dramatically expands our discussion of flares, including several new types (neuralgia, stress, menstrual, urethral, rectal, etc.).  This guide is ideal for newly diagnosed patients and those who are struggling with long-term symptoms. Dr. Robert Echenberg, the premiere pelvic pain specialist in the USA (now retired), provided the forward. With 30 years of experience and insight working with IC patients, author Jill Osborne will help you recognize the type of flare you may be having, what its triggers are and, most importantly, she provides hour by hour rescue plans to calm your flares. When you see Jill's picture, please know that she's speaking from her personal experience, offering wisdom and insight she gained after working with thousands of patients over the past 30 years as well as her own experiences. She also includes several ICN articles written by Stacey Shannon. If you are struggling with recurring flares or have had a flare last for a long period of time, this book may help solve the puzzle of why that flare began and how to best treat it. Gone are the days when every patient is told that they have an incurable disease. For many, bladder therapies simply do not work because flares are the result of muscles and nerves that have been stressed and irritated. So, if you feel stuck or are not improving with the treatments provided, this book may open a new door to treatment. Flares covered include: 

• the bladder wall flare
• the pelvic floor flare
• the neuralgia flare
• the stress flare
• the menstrual flare
• the urethral flare
• the vulvodynia flare
• the rectal/anal flare
• the sex flares - Men vs. Women
• the allergy flare

The Diet Guide is the third book in the IC 101 book series. It dramatically expands our discussion of diet and nutrition, including the use of phenotyping to identify your specific diet sensitivity and your risk of  food-induced risk flares.  This guide is ideal for newly diagnosed patients and those who are struggling with long-term symptoms. If you are struggling with the IC diet, experiencing recurring flares,  this book may help solve the puzzle of why you are food sensitive and which foods could be causing your pain and discomfort.   Topics covered include:
