Hi Everyone,
I have an embarrassing question. Dies anyone have pain occur in their bladder and urethra area after having a bowel movement? My pain in those areas actually have been extremely reduced since I have been on the level one diet. Today I thought I was trying just a black tea but it ended up being a chai version with cinnamon, clove, ginger, cardamom and stevia in it. It easily brought back the memory of the pain I experienced before the diet. It's great because I know the diet is working but I realized the pain was brought on by having a bowel movement and I wonder if this is unique to my prolapse surgery or if others experience it also. I just wonder if I am soothing my bladder from a physical problem brought on from the surgery or whether I really have IC.
Thanks ,
Sue
Hey Sue,
Hey Sue,
I have the same problem with pain after a bowel movement. It doesn't happen every time, it's off and on.
I hope you feel better soon!
Hi Sue, I had this a lot for
Hi Sue, I had this a lot for the first 2 months of treatment. It is mostly better now. When you have a BM, or sometimes when you pee (I would have weird rectum pain after I peed too), Dr. B told me that I was moving a lot of toxins out of the lymph down there and things get a bit back up. There is a lot of lymphatic tissue down there. She said as the toxins move out, I would experience this less and less, and she was right.
Hope you are feeling better soon (and staying away from chai tea until after treatment! ;)

If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.
Thanks so much for your
Thanks so much for your replies Lisa Ann and MImi! I feel better knowing others deal with similar issues.
I never thought I'd be saying this but I would much rather it be IC then a complication from the surgery. I really trust that Dr. B can help me heal from IC !
And even though I made a mistake with my diet, it's really great knowing that all my efforts to eat strictly by the diet are worthwhile. Also, when mistakes are made, if you are really trying to adhere to it, you can figure out what is causing it much more easily.
Thanks again for your quick replies.
Sue
