What is Interstitial Cystitis?

What is Interstitial Cystitis?


Interstitial Cystitis is the worst bladder infection you've ever had, except no bacteria is present, there is no cure, many foods make it worse, and separate treatments have maybe 1/3 of a chance of helping. The only true "treatment" is treating the pain, as its usually the only thing that will work. Even patients who've had their bladders removed still experience the pain. Doctors don't know what causes it or how to get rid of it but have many theories.



Need to find a doctor in your area who actually knows how to deal with IC humanely? Click here.

These are the new guidelines for diagnosing IC. If your doctor isn't using these then I suggest you find a new one who keeps up to date.

You can find the IC safe collaborated recipes between me and my step dad here.

For science!

I broke my diet. Every once in awhile you need to try to see if your food tolerance has increased any. I ate just a little, so I'm not expecting anything awful. It was regular fried rice from an Asian fast food joint. Likely has MSG in it and onions.. and some spice I couldn't name but had properties of black pepper. If you don't hear from me in two days then things went well. If I reply, it'll be about blood coming out of places where blood shouldn't come from.

I encourage open discussion. There is a lot for us to learn from each other.
