Managing Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS): A Personal Journey and Practical Guide - Bullet Point Summarisation​
-
This resource is designed for individuals diagnosed with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) following a urinary tract infection, regardless of gender.
-
Having personally suffered from severe pain and discomfort due to CPPS, I now live virtually pain-free without the need for medication.
-
I have compiled a comprehensive list of foods and beverages categorized as either pain-free or pain-inducing. Refer to the Cheat Sheet for details.
-
By incorporating sodium bicarbonate capsules dissolved in water during meals, I have successfully reintroduced previously pain-inducing foods into my diet, with minor limitations.
-
My sodium bicarbonate intake is limited to a maximum of four capsules per day. To balance sodium consumption, I reduce high-sodium foods, resulting in a lower overall sodium intake than before my diagnosis.
-
I can now enjoy meals that once caused excruciating pain and discomfort, significantly improving my quality of life.
-
Despite leading a healthy lifestyle before developing CPPS, this journey has deepened my understanding and appreciation of my body’s wellbeing.

Application - Bullet Point Summarisation
-
My findings should be personally tested rather than accepted at face value. Start with a 3-4 day detox using only the pain-free ingredients listed in the Cheat Sheet. If pain levels improve, consider exploring the more detailed aspects of my approach.
-
A selection of meal examples composed exclusively of pain-free ingredients is available under In Practice.
-
Additionally, I provide examples of meals that incorporate both pain-free and pain-inducing ingredients, demonstrating how I dose sodium bicarbonate capsules with my water—see In Practice for details.
-
Through careful dietary management, pain levels can be reduced to near zero, depending on an individual's willingness to make sacrifices and maintain discipline.
