I have IC. There are lot of things that have helped me, for sure! For one, I eat ZERO vinegar, citrus, tomatoes or alcohol. The only fruit juice I drink whatsoever is pear and blueberry.

I drink aloe very every day, it coats the bladder. I drink marshmallow root tea. I drink a huge amount of water.

Remember- NO cranberry juice.

I was diagnosed with ic 9 yrs ago, thru a cystoscopy. Lyme and bart diagnosis came this past summer. Cranberry juice is also a no no for me as well as alot of acidic stuff. I was on elmiron for awile but its was too expensive to continue so i just try to stay away from stuff that bothers me. Heating pad helps sometimes. Ive also had bladder instillations done. Somedays nothing helps

I had it, and it was horrible.

I took the drug Elmiron, and after (can't remember if it was six weeks or six months; just remember the number) the Elmiron took care of it.

If you're not already on it, that's your key.
