Sacroiliac Joint Disease (SIJD) is a condition that affects many people, causing considerable discomfort and often disrupting daily activities. Research indicates that 10-25% of back pain experienced by adults can be attributed to sacroiliac joints. This type of pain can be debilitating, primarily affecting the lower back and buttocks.
The pain from SIJD arises due to the breakdown of cartilage that cushions these joints, leading to bone-on-bone contact. This results in inflammation, stiffness, and significant discomfort. Typical treatments for sacroiliac joint pain include physical therapy, exercises, and medications. In severe cases, surgery may be required to address the issue. However, managing symptoms through diet is a practical and proactive approach that can complement other treatments.

Do you want to lose weight quickly while still enjoying the carbs you intake? If yes, you're in the right place to learn how.
By its definition, carb cycling is another process of reducing fats and maintaining physical fitness by altering your carb intake. It is a dietary method that can be modified as a daily, weekly, or monthly plan. Moreover, carb cycling's main goal is to organize carbohydrate intake when it delivers extreme advantage and remove it when it is not needed.
Carb cycling is ideal for bodybuilders and other high-performing athletes, but it can also be used by people who want to become physically fit.
Experts even argue that carb cycling can be more effective for most people who want to lose weight because of how it can be easily modified to adapt to a specific lifestyle. It also aims to make sure that you’re getting the right amount of nutrients and calories based on your body weight.
It’s a relatively new type of dietary plan that still needs more scientific research to back up its effects, but because it greatly supports the consumption of the right calories and nutrients needed per individual, it’s still considered a relatively safe diet program to try out, especially if you want to lose weight without too much food restrictions.
In this short guide, you will discover:
- What carb cycling is
- How carb cycling works
- Benefits of carb cycling

A Beginner's Guide to Managing IBS Symptoms Through The Low-FODMAP Diet
This guide contains necessary information about the low-FODMAP diet that is becoming popular nowadays. This book also suggests an effective low-FODMAP diet program that will be beneficial to people with IBS and other digestive tract disorders.
SIBO, which stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is a condition that results from too much bacterial growth in the gut. This condition causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal distention to an affected person.
SIBO is believed to be one of the main causes of IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. IBS is a gastrointestinal disease that has similar symptoms to SIBO.
IBS symptoms can cause anxiety and stress to a person which leads to overeating. Binge eating and stress eating can lead to high levels of FODMAPs -Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, And Polyols. FODMAPs are sugars or short-chain carbohydrates that are not easily absorbed in the small intestine. When they reach the large intestine, they accumulate gas and attract water that causes different symptoms. They can also produce toxic gases such as methane and hydrogen that cause different IBS symptoms.

Did you know that fatty liver disease can affect up to 25% of individuals in the United States?Fatty liver is a hot topic in gastroenterology and hepatology. It is a condition that is very common in the United States and is a disease that is expected to continue to affect more people in the coming years. That is because the fatty liver is associated with other morbidities, such as diabetes, obesity, and metabolic diseases. Because of this connection with other diseases, it is expected that fatty liver disease will be a major healthcare issue in the future.
The fatty liver disease is diagnosed by ultrasound imaging or the physician might incidentally see images through MRI or CAT scans, so these are more like incidental findings. The primary care physician typically picks up the condition and conducts further workup to rule out other common liver conditions before a diagnosis is made.
Many people with fatty liver disease don’t have any symptoms that they can continue their daily activities normally, but when the disease progresses, that’s the time the symptoms appear and then they go to see a hepatologist. Basically what we do is implement diet control and make the patient do a lot of exercises, so patient education is very important to treat this condition.
In this guide, you will learn the following:
- What is fatty liver disease?
- The good and bad about fatty liver detox
- The best diet to implement to help reverse your liver’s condition
- How to manage fatigue due to fatty liver disease
- A sample diet plan to get you started"
