I have been taking Elmiron for almost 2 months now for IC. I have a touchy stomach from it, but I try to stick to bland foods and then I can handle it okay.
But I really have a problem with the consistently soft stools from taking the Elmiron. Everyday my bowel movements are too soft and burn. I have tried to modify my diet over the last week, but I havent had any luck yet.
Have any of you had this problem? And if you have, did you alleviate it some way?
Thank you.

I took Elmiron for one year
I took Elmiron for one year before finding this site and switching over to herbal medicine. It served its purpose for the early part of my IC journey but I couldn't deal with not fixing the root cause, and all the concerns of liver damage from the drug frightened me. That said, I do not recall having any issues with it tummy or otherwise but I was so drugged up on painkillers I probably didn't notice. Perhaps the soft stools are a sign it's not agreeing with your system?
