Summary: Surviving Interstitial Cystitis
Comment: My urologist, a very wise man, recommended this book. It has turned the light on for me, answering so many questions I have had for years, and, as the title indicates, it is a survival and coping guide. Years ago, a gynecologist told me that my symptoms were a result of my getting older. I didn't need a "specialist" to tell me that. I just needed to learn and understand what was happening to me, and, more importantly, what I can do. I highly recommend this book as an excellent place to start.

Summary: Men also can have IC
Comment: This is an excellent resource for the IC patient. What Dr. Moldwin says is unfortunately very true that "the male IC patient often has more difficulty receiving a diagnosis and ultimate treatment than the female IC patient."

For over three years I have been suffering from symptoms which my urologist said was due to BPH or enlargement of the prostate. I felt there was something else going on and did my own research on the Internet and decided it might be IC. I received two treatments with DMSO which helped only slightly. That urologist retired and the next one simply said this was a BPH problem and the only solution was surgery ... and I could come back when I was ready for surgery. After changing urologists, I finally got someone who was a diagnostician, he did a potassium test (PST), and we finally got a clear diagnosis of IC. His recommendation of Dr. Moldwin's book was a great gift.

The diet recommendations in this book were, for me, worth the price of the book! I am amazed that the foods I eat have such a major impact on my symptoms. If you are a man (or woman), and think you may have IC ... this is the book for you.
