Low Fodmap Diet: A Beginner's Step-by-Step Guide for Managing IBS Symptoms, with Recipes and a Meal

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) are two digestive conditions that often go hand in hand. Fortunately, the low-FODMAP diet is a great way to help manage both of these conditions. So, what exactly is a low-FODMAP diet? This diet reduces the number of certain carbohydrates—known as FODMAPs—that are difficult for our bodies to digest and can trigger symptoms of IBS and SIBO. These FODMAPs include fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols such as honey, wheat products, milk, apples, and garlic. If you’re considering making the switch to a low-FODMAP diet it’s important to take into account the necessary steps before getting started. It’s useful to identify which FODMAPs may be causing symptoms by keeping a food diary or monitoring what foods are eaten and how they affect your health. Furthermore, consulting a doctor or nutritionist before beginning this diet is paramount as they can provide guidance and advice on what food choices should be included or avoided for the best results. Once high and low FODMAP foods have been identified, creating an individualized meal plan should take place that takes into account all dietary restrictions while still achieving adequate nutrition at the same time. While on this diet it's essential to track how each meal makes you feel both mentally and physically so any necessary changes can be made should reaction severity occur. In this guide, we will talk about the following: ● The SIBO and IBS ● Symptoms of SIBO and IBS ● Risk Factors of SIBO and IBS ● Diagnosis of SIBO and IBS ● Medical Treatments for SIBO and IBS ● Causes of SIBO and IBS ● Low-FODMAP Diet ● Principles of Low-FODMAP Diet ● Benefits and Disadvantages of a Low-FODMAP Diet ● Foods to Eat and Avoid ● Sample Meal Plan and Recipes

Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Beginner's 3-Step Quick Start Guide to Managing TB Through Diet, With Sample

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux, is a condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which is one of the cranial nerves. This nerve provides sensation to the face and controls many of the muscles in the face. Trigeminal neuralgia is caused by damage to the trigeminal nerve. This can be due to several things, including infection, a tumor, or trauma. Symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia include sudden, sharp pain in the face that may be intermittent or constant. The pain may be on one side or both sides of the face, and it may vary in intensity. Other symptoms can include tingling or numbness in the face, drooping eyelids, and difficulty swallowing. Trigeminal neuralgia is diagnosed based on a person's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam may also be done to look for signs of damage to the trigeminal nerve. Imaging tests such as MRI or CT scan may be done to help determine the cause of the trigeminal neuralgia. In this beginner's guide, we'll discuss the following subtopics in further detail: - What is the trigeminal nerve? - What are the two types of trigeminal neuralgia? - What causes trigeminal neuralgia? - What are the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia? - Who are at risk to get trigeminal neuralgia? - How is trigeminal neuralgia diagnosed? - How is trigeminal neuralgia treated? - Alternative treatments for trigeminal neuralgia. - Managing trigeminal neuralgia through lifestyle changes. - Managing trigeminal neuralgia through diet - The 3-step guide to managing trigeminal neuralgia through diet and nutrition

The Complications: On Going Insane in America

An unflinching, rare account of living with severe mental illness that is also a bold commentary on how we misunderstand this often debilitating disease. The Complications is an intimate portrait of what it’s like to live with schizoaffective disorder of the bipolar type as well as a biting, revelatory critique of America’s mental health culture. Emmett Rensin has written and edited articles for major national media outlets, and taught writing and literature at prestigious schools. But he has also lost jobs and friends, been hospitalized and institutionalized, and cycled through a daunting combination of medications. With scorching honesty, he reflects on his messy, fragile attempt to live his life, his periods of grace, and his near misses with disaster and death. Going beyond the usual peans against “stigma” and for “understanding”, Rensin confronts the dysfunction in current mental health narratives, contrasting what he calls mental illness “high culture”—in which we affirm the prevalence of anxiety and encourage regular therapy, insisting that the “mentally ill” aren’t dangerous or even weird—with even progressive society’s inability to contend with people with more severe forms of mental illness: those people we pass on the street talking to themselves, those caught in a loop between hospitals and prisons, or even those who we cannot tolerate in our own schools, offices, and lives, including himself. With raw honesty, Rensin invites us into every aspect of his life, from what it’s like see four different psychiatrists in one year and the nature of psychotic breaks to a harrowing diary that logs exactly what happens when he stops taking his medication and the unexpected kinship he discovers with an incarcerated spree killer with schizophrenia. Going beyond pure memoir, he reflects on the uncertain “science” of diagnosis, the nature of art about and by the insane, political activism, and the history of madness, from the asylum to the academy. A compelling, often devastating, blend of memoir, cultural commentary, and history, The Complications elevates the conversation around mental illness and challenges us to reexamine what we think we know about what is to go insane.

Just Have Sex: An Infertility Memoir

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Have you ever been told to “Just Have Sex' (and you'll get pregnant)? Yeah, me too. That doesn't always work. An encouraging and captivating memoir that illuminates the trials, emotions, and hidden struggles of infertility diagnosis and treatment Ashley was living her life's dream: married to her high school sweetheart, working as a newly minted CPA, and creating a new life and name for herself since coming back home from college. Fate had always been good to her... until it wasn't. Month after month, she stared at her negative pregnancy tests and wondered why she wasn't getting pregnant. Her typical Type A personality had her obsessing, researching, and worrying. As months turned into years, Ashley had to learn how to advocate for herself in a system that helped only those that pushed for it. And for a person who avoided confrontation like the plague, that was a life lesson hard-earned. After struggling to find answers, grieving for the future she thought was guaranteed, and questioning her life's goals, Ashley and her husband had to consider if the pain and suffering for the mere chance at a pregnancy would be worth it, or if there were other options that could fill the void in their hearts. All the while, an already assembled crib stared back at them, doing nothing but collecting dust... (if memoirs aren't your thing, don't worry, it reads like a fiction story) You need to read this book if: - You are experiencing infertility and do not want to feel alone - You want to educate yourself on some trials of infertility diagnosis and treatment - You love eye-opening (and spunky yet emotional) memoirs
