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.

Mardi Gras

The holiday all students look forward too! I'm drowning in midterms and professors who don't know how to use technology, but today I took the day off to just cook. IC safe gumbo (safe homemade reaux (safe flour browned in microwave or oven), a HUGE pot, a lot of water, and chicken, shrimp, and crawfish with rice. For others of the household I made unsafe, very spicy red beans and rice with sausage and cornbread muffins, though the muffins seemed okay... Jiffy brand.


It was delicious. Even without seasoning. You can still eat well without worry. Just make sure the meats don't have anything else in it BUT the meat.

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