I also wondered if anyone struggles with this. When I eat, I itch.

How do you know if you have a UTI or IC sometimes, if you get a UTI? I'm experiencing something hat feels different and like one, but don't really know. Going to doctor tidy. Don't want o take antibiotics if it is one, but how would you treaty it? What does Dr. B do?

Hi All:

So...Ive been on list one for four weeks ( havent seen Dr B yet so just the diet, no herbs) last week i woke up with a major headache, felt woozy, sick in my stomach, basically like i had the flu without the runny nose. it is now a week later and im feeling exactly the same! have been really good on the diet, havent cheated at all. was wondering if anyone had the same thing when they were just on the diet alone, before they saw dr B. is it die off or just my body rebelling against the sugar deprivation- and has it happenend for anyone  this soon on just the diet? 

I just read the below post which I had never seen before. I think it is very useful. 

Sexuality and Interstitial Cystitis

Dr. Brizman says smoked salmon is okay as a protein alternative (I'm on list 3, but she seemed to indicate that it's always okay, even before list 3). I'm wondering though, if there are any particular types I should aim for/avoid? 

Do any of you have experience eating smoked salmon?

Hi everyone. I know there are several little posts on this site about the products and brands we use, but thought it'd be nice to create a new post that's more comprehensive and up to date with a bit of feedback as well. We had a water survey post a while ago, and it was very helpful for those of us traveling and using that as a guide. So here is what i came up with. Please feel free to add more if you think of other categories. I'll start mine as soon as I get home, I was too impatient to wait to share it with you. Wish all of you a symptom free day :) 

Where do you live

Happy 4th of July!  I will be 9 months into treatment on July 8th but found time to login so I wanted to update on my progress.  The past few months have been better yet I feel like I have hit a plateau at times.  I remain on List 3 (which I'm totally OK about since I still need to get out of this funk and venture to try new foods across Lists 1 - 3).  For the most part, my bladder has been better.  I can go without voiding for about an hour to 1 1/2 hours at times.  This is incredible!  I would say that the level of pain is 1-2, mostly the pain is burning in my pelvis area and some very mi

I am going thru such a difficult time. My computer is down for weeks now, and I have inflamed my bladder by using an ointment for my aching arm muscles. I used it only 4 days but the relief was not worth this horrible pain I have brought on. I have to use my son's I phone when he is here or through a friend over the phone to communicate with Dr. B. I go from the toilet to the bath. I sleep if I am lucky 3 or 4 hrs a night. It is almost a week now and this is the worse flare I have ever experienced. I miss the support of you all so much. I am typing this on my son's phone while in the bath.

Hi, Matia is switching me off the cleansing SF722 protocol over to a new herb I am unfamiliar with. Can anyone share her experience with it please? She didn't say anything in terms of what she is using it for or what possible things I may notice from using it. 

It's Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin, by Sun Ten. I ordered it last week so will start soon. Thanks.
