Eating Isn't Always Easy
Author: Nancy S. Rotter, Ph.d.
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781466440739
Category : Eosinophil disorders
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
Ben has been having a hard time. Ever since he can remember, his two sisters and his parents eat whatever they want, whenever they want, and they seem to be fine. But not Ben. When he eats, he often has stomach aches, experiences gagging, and worse yet, he vomits. It seems to him that eating is not a very fun thing at all. Then he is diagnosed with a condition that is hard to pronounce, but the doctor says it's good that they know what it is so that she can help Ben learn to manage his illness. After his endoscopy shows that Ben has EoE, he and his doctor--a gastroenterologist--work together as detectives to solve the mystery of what foods are causing his EoE symptoms. But Ben is worried, not to mention frustrated and sad about all of the problems his disease is causing. Being placed on a special elemental diet, in which he gets his nutrition primarily from drinking something called Splash, isn't nearly as fun or tasty as eating. Soon enough, Ben is able to gradually add food back into his diet. Sometimes he has to eliminate foods based on the findings of his regular endoscopies, and though it is frustrating, he is sure that they will figure it out soon. Eventually, he and his doctor solve the mystery and he is able to avoid eating these foods and remain healthy.

Macaroni Isn't the Same Without Cheese
Author: Qian Yuan
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781494983000
Category : Eosinophil disorders
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In their book, Eating Isn't Always Easy, pediatric psychologist Nancy S. Rotter, PhD and gastroenterologist Qian Yuan, MD, PhD, explored the journey of a young child with eosinophilic esophagitis and provided an engaging story that children and parents dealing with similar issues could relate to. Now the authors return with a second book, geared toward slightly older children aged six through eight. Like their previous title, Macaroni Isn't the Same Without Cheese features a main character with EoE as he deals with the medical testing, dietary restrictions, and the everyday ins and outs of life with this illness. Seven-year-old Danny enjoys playing video games, spending time with his friends and family, and exploring the woods behind his house. He also enjoys hamburgers, pizza, and ice cream. But while others around him seem to eat anything they want, Danny isn't able to enjoy some of his favorite foods anymore. He has a condition called eosinophilic esophagitis, or EoE, which causes certain foods to irritate his esophagus and make him feel sick. For Danny, those foods include dairy, peanuts, and potatoes-but it took a long time, and a lot of tests, to figure that out. Starting when he was a baby, Danny always had trouble eating food. He would often choke, gag, and throw up, and he had difficulty gaining weight. This made his parents very worried. So when he was almost four, his parents brought him to see a stomach doctor-also known as a gastroenterologist-to try and figure out why. He had a test called an endoscopy, or "scope," so Dr. Rubin could see inside of his body. After finding out about his EoE, Danny met even more doctors. There is Dr. Anderson, an allergist, who does tests to find out if he has any food allergies-and Dr. Sweet, a psychologist, who has an office full of toys and art supplies, who he can talk to about his feelings about his EoE, elimination diets. or anything at all. Living with EoE isn't always easy. Sometimes it makes him sad or angry. Macaroni isn't the same without cheese, and he sometimes misses being able to eat the same foods as everyone else. But the good news is, Danny doesn't feel sick all the time like he used to. He can still explore the woods behind his house, and he can still play soccer and video games. He's even met some new friends who follow special diets too. Featuring colorful illustrations and relatable, child-friendly language, Macaroni Isn't the Same Without Cheese is a realistic look at the life of a second grader with eosinophilic esophagitis throughout the diagnosis and treatment process. While addressing the real-life frustrations and obstacles familiar to children and caretakers dealing with EoE and food allergies, it also provides a message of hope-letting children know that they aren't alone in their disorder, and can still live a happy life and enjoy all their favorite activities with the help of support from their families and medical professionals.

Kitchen Medicine
Author: Debi Lewis
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1538156660
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
In this happily-ever-after tale, author Debi Lewis learns how to feed her mysteriously unwell daughter, falling in love with food in the process. For many parents, feeding their children is easy and instinctive, either an afterthought or a mindless task like laundry and driving the carpool. For others, though, it is on the same spectrum in which Debi Lewis found herself: part of what felt like an endless slog to move her daughter from failure-to-thrive to something that looked, if not like thriving, at least like survival. The emotional weight of not being able to feed one’s child feels like a betrayal of the most basic aspect of nurturing. While every faux matzo ball, every protein-packed smoothie that tasted like a milkshake, every new lentil dish that her daughter liked made Lewis’s spirit rise, every dish pushed away made it sink. Kitchen Medicine: How I Fed My Daughter out of Failure to Thrive tells the story of how Lewis made her way through mothering and feeding a sick child, aided by Lewis’ growing confidence in front of the stove. It’s about how she eventually saw her role as more than caretaker and fighter for her daughter’s health and how she had to redefine what mothering—and feeding—looked like once her daughter was well. This is the story of learning to feed a child who can’t seem to eat. It’s the story of growing love for food, a mirror for people who cook for fuel and those who cook for love; for those who see the miracle in the growing child and in the fresh peach; for matzo-ball lovers and the gluten-intolerant; and for parents who want to feed their kids without starving their souls.

The Microbiome Solution
Author: Robynne Chutkan, MD
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698193911
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
The author of Gutbliss and one of today’s preeminent gastroenterologists distills the latest research on the microbiome into a practical program for boosting overall health. Michael Pollan’s widely discussed New York Times article, “Some of My Best Friends Are Germs,” was just the tip of the iceberg. The microbiome—the collective name for the trillions of bacteria that live in our gut—is today’s hottest medical news topic. Synthesizing the latest findings, Dr. Robynne Chutkan explains how the standard Western diet and lifestyle are starving our microbiome, depleting the “good bugs” that keep us healthy and encouraging overgrowth of exactly the wrong type of bacteria. The resulting imbalance makes us more prone to disease and obesity and negatively affects our metabolism, our hormones, our cravings, our immunity, and even our genes. But beyond the science, what sets this book apart is Dr. Chutkan’s powerful three-level program for optimizing your gut bacteria for good health. Dr. Chutkan shares: Why hand-sanitizing gels and antibiotics are stripping our bodies of their natural protective systems Essential prebiotics and probiotics Recipes with ingredients that replenish the microbiome for each rehab level Cutting-edge research on the connection between the microbiome and the brain An intro to the stool transplant, the superfix for a severely troubled microbiome Dr. Chutkan is one of the most recognizable gastroenterologists working in America today, and this is the first book to distill the research into a practical, effective plan for replenishing our microbiomes. The Microbiome Solution will bring welcome relief to the millions who want to grow a good “gut garden”—and enjoy healthier, happier lives.
