Dealing with one of the worst flu's in my life. I think i got it from my husband who just got the flu shot. I know it makes no sense, it's a dead virus...but this used to happen to me every year. I got flu right after the shot. Am i crazy? It's been extra tough now because i have IC now and can't take my regular flu pills or antibiotics to cover the symptoms. I took a day off but went back the next day feeling ok. That was the biggest mistake. I've been in bed, and in great misery since Friday. So restless due to sinus pressure and headache.

Hello,

Hey question does anyone know the difference between yellow winter squash and summer squash. Can we eat both of them on list one? They are both yellow...haha.

let me know if anyone knows the answer..this is kind of a dumb question.

I am on day 2 of Dr. B's protocol, and I am trying to follow the diet list 1.

I need a good food processor that can make my life easier, and I also need a cast iron skillet.

Can I get please get some recommendations on which brand/model to buy? I want to make sure I get the right one.

Hello everyone!

I hope all of you out there are having a good, positive, IC-free Friday! I've finally made my first appt. with Dr. Brizman (not 'til late December) and simply cannot wait. I'm counting down the days. I started following her diet last week and have a question about water.  Does anyone know any recommended Canadian spring water I can buy?  I've looked at the prefered waters on this website and I don't recognize most of the names except Evian, and I think that's the most expensive spring water on the market!

Hi,

Its me again with yet another question, yet another flareup and its only Tuesday.  : (

I started using baking powder in a glass of spring water several weeks ago which makes it 'subside'.  Are there any other tips on what works that have been reccomended to you to deal with it and/or avoid them somehow?  Also, how much water are you supposed to be drinking while on the IC Diet?  I'm sure you can never have too much.  Have you noticed your flareups decrease once on the diet?  I tend to get one/week these days...  But now I'm at two for this week. 

Hello everyone,

I would like to hear from those who had bladder instillations. I heard that installations may cause a lot of damage. I certainly hope that recovery is possible with history of those. 

Please share your experience in treatment. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I am so bored.

Could you tell me what you eat in a typical day?
