Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostatitis / September 2003Basic question about prostatitis and diet
I may have (what I would consider a mild case of) prostatitis. I suspect it may actually be a kidney infection instead. Either way I have been told to avoid spicy foods. Can anyone tell me what other effects this should have on my diet? Also, a more specific idea of what constitutes spicy foods would be nice - are there specific spices I should avoid entirely, are there some that are okay in moderation? My normal diet has a lot of garlic, basil and hot peppers in it; I assume the latter are Right Out but what about the other two? Oregono? Parsley flakes? I just want an idea of how to adjust my cooking for the next few weeks. Jeff Heikkinen, worshipped by llamas the world over, wrote... > I may have (what I would consider a mild case of) prostatitis.

Jeff, Why don't you try posting in alt.cooking-chat alt.creative-cook alt.creative-cooking japan.cooking rec.food.cooking rec.food.veg.cooking or one of the many groups under "food"?

Because my question is about the medical condition that this group is supposedly for, and I've seen doctors that may have the medical knowledge to answer it post here. As you would know if you had read it. Do you have something useful to say, or are you just here to be rude to people who are trying to find out how to stay healthy with their conditions? >Oldbie, worshipped by llamas the world over, wrote... >> Jeff Heikkinen <oh@s.if> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> >> or one of the many groups under "food"? >Because my question is about the medical condition that this group is >supposedly for, and I've seen doctors that may have the medical >knowledge to answer it post here. >As you would know if you had read it. >Do you have something useful to say, or are you just here to be rude to >people who are trying to find out how to stay healthy with their >conditions? If you can't take a joke then f.ck ya - hahahahaha ! You wanted to know if anyone was here - yes. Your question contained the following words and phrases: spicy foods specific spices garlic basil hot peppers Oregono Parsley flakes adjust my cooking. It just kind of struck me funny, like that guy yesterday with the huge list of ailments. I know I shouldn't laugh at peoples misfortunes, but Jesus - what a list ! I believe in that you are what you eat theory, but your diet looks a bit affected and dopey to me. Sorry, eh? Try laughing at yourself once in a while - it's great medecine.

I think Oldbie has good intentions, Jeff. I believe he was trying to help. Don't sweat it. In the past, he jumped all over me....lol....when I first responded to some of his comments trying to help, but it turned out to be a silly misunderstanding. Anyhow, it's all good. Let's not get distracted fella's. Let's put the blame on this wretched ailment when any misunderstanding's present themselves. Regards. > Oldbie wrote... > > Try laughing at yourself once in a while - it's great medecine. > > That would be better advice if your "joke" had been funny. There is nothing funny about oldpee. He is a big jerk, just read that crap and see why. >> Oldbie wrote... >> > Try laughing at yourself once in a while - it's great medecine. >> >> That would be better advice if your "joke" had been funny. >There is nothing funny about oldpee.

Jeff, check out this page. Some dicussion on food intolerance. http://www.chronicprostatitis.com/intolerance.html Hope this helps. Derek Williams, worshipped by llamas the world over, wrote... > "Jeff Heikkinen" wrote.. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Hope this helps. Interesting! I might try selectively eliminating some stuff from my diet and see if it helps. Still doesn't really answer my original question, though. (But it opens up another avenue of investigation, which could turn out to be more important.) Let me try an even more basic version of the original question - was my doctor FOS when he told me to stay away from spicy foods? Does anyone know anything about a connection between that and prostatitis? I haven't found anything about that on any of the sites I have been checking, like prostatitis.org or the one you just referred me to, and you would think something like that would be mentioned there! I think he screwed up, frankly, but before I chow down on my favorite high- octane chili I want some sort of confirmation of that. Assuming this doctor *did* know what he was talking about, the original question remains - which foods should I avoid, specifically? I would have deserved Oldbie's ribbing a lot more if "spicy foods" were a clear and unambiguous term, but I swear I don't know two people who agree on what it means!!!

There are a lot of doctors who are FOS, Jeff. No confusion there. Well, with a comment like that, I have to be fair and state there are some doctors, ( some who post here ), that are genuinely interested in our condition and in helping us. But, that is not what your asking about....hehe....this is very anecdotal and simplistic Jeff, but there are some men diagnosed with chronic prostititis, (chronic pelvic pain syndrome), who may actually have IC, (Interstitial Cystitis). IC is a painful bladder and pelvic pain disorder. Is it possible that your spicy food intake is irritating your bladder? Maybe you have an element of IC? Regards. |
