I could scream. SOmehow I didn't realize that I am low on Goldenseal. I have been going back and forth this week- agonizing really- over whther I am going to Cape Cod this weekend to my sister inlaw's wedding. I finally decided last night- "Yes I am going unless I get much worse" and i realize I am almost out of goldenseal. ARGH!!!!

I just ordered from i-herb. Please tell me that expedited overnight shipping really does get here overnight!

Otherwise not sure what to do.

Hi All,

Are you planning a visit to see Dr. Brizman?  Why not stay in an IC friendly home! My kids are gone for the months of July and August and I have two very comfortable bedrooms with there own bathrooms.

If you are interested or need more information, email me. 

Hello, all. I am new here.

Just wondering whether anyone else has flared with this? Found some in my local healthfood shop and was v excited - am on list 1/2 so thought this would be ok for - but have had a couple of days of flare of my symptoms - urethral burning, some vaginal burning; basically, all the tissues down there feeling very inflamed. It seems SUCH a benign thing to be bothering me, but can't think of anything else I've changed ...

Hello all

I was fortunate enough to meet a lady reflexologist quite by fluke...who specialises in chronic illness. I went for a session after 3 weeks of real bladder grot, and despite the fact I HATE my feet being touched, it was wonderful. I had a heck of a lot of pain in certain points of the feet, which linked to the intestine and the iliasicual valve where I suspected bacteria leaks.

Hey is anyone else seeing Matia from Utah.  It would be great to have a friend to meet up with or just talk to over the phone every once in a while.  I have run into many people here that have IC and I have told them about Matia but they are not willing to even give her a chance.

Hi Ladies,

  I am still figuring out the best products to use in the beginning of treatment. I found a Yeast Free Tapica Bread made by kinnickinnick.

Is this a bread we are able to use in our diet? If not, I will order the Ener-G Yeast Free Brown Rice bread.  I appreciate the input.

Yowzzzzaaaa.  Has anyone ever seen this before??  I just went on there out of curiosity (just to read).  Its so crazy!  We're so lucky.  I feel like I remember someone posting something about an anti-matia sentiment on those boards?

i am fighting either an ic flair or a UTI, i am working with Matia by email to fiqure it out. SO frustrating!!! I have been virtually pain free for over a year!  Now i have been camped out in the bathroom for 3 days.  Think i just need to vent a bit!!!

i am using ice packs for the pain...not helping much.  Do any of you have ideas of what to do for the constant pain? I have not asked her about it. i am so tempted to take something!

thanks

Did you girls realize that Pacific Bakery spelt bread has poppy seeds in them? I checked the ingredients, and it's not listed there so obviously got mixed in the dough by mistake. I might have seen a few before and didn't pay attention, but this case i got from whole foods has them on the outside of the bread, quite a lot and visible.I guess i'll cut them out for now since i have 3 more lofs like this but just wanted to warn you all.
