Services for Interstitial Cystitis Patients

Confident Choices was created by a registered dietitian to address the unique needs of interstitial cystitis patients. Dietary modification can help reduce the frequency, urgency and pain that often accompanies interstitial cystitis, but determining food triggers is often cumbersome and confusing. We are dedicated to help!

C. Education for Nutrition Professionals

A. Individual IC Counseling

Modifying diet is one way that IC patients can take control of their health in what often feels like an uncontrollable situation. 

We offer individualized nutrition and lifestyle counseling exclusively for IC patients by a registered dietitian who specializes in IC. Our very affordable consultation packages can help you:

• Determine how diet affects your IC symptoms (91% of IC patients say it does!)

• Self-assess personal food triggers without compromising nutrition

• Sort out fact from fiction regarding nutritional supplements

• "Combine" dietary modifications if you have multiple health conditions

B. Support Group Workshops

Let's do it together! Support groups are a FUN way to include many patients at once with little or no cost to group members:

• We have experience getting sponsors to cover costs and send product samples!

• Learn how dietary modifications can help IC patients reduce symptoms

• Explore the various IC dietary supplements

• Sample IC friendly foods 

• Review assorted IC resources (some available for purchase on the spot!)

• Have an opportunity to speak with an dietitian to get your personal questions answered!

C.  Education for Nutrition Professionals

Often as dietitians we are trying to change the invisibles (blood sugar, cholesterol), or we deal with very difficult problems such as obesity or eating disorders.  Helping interstitial cystitis patients, on the other hand,  can be extraordinarily satisfying! IC patients are generally highly motivated to regain some control over their symptoms in a situation which often seems out of control. 

• Learn how to counsel patients to use food and voiding diaries

• Learn how to teach patients to  implement an elimination diary, and navigate the various IC Diet lists

• Explore the various supplements marketed for IC patients

• Gain valuable insight into other lifestyle aspects of an interstitial cystitis patient.
