Has anyone tryt thoses?

Hi there everyone. heer is my shortened story. In November, i thought I had a UTI. I took d mannose and cranberry and it "went away" only to return 2x briefly. Then on Jan 16, it cam back and never left. I was dx with mild IC. My symptoms are constantly feeling llike I need to pee plus varying degrees of crampy discomfort. I also have itching on my vulva. This has been the worst 3 months of my life even though I know I am not close to as severe as some. I have been researching and reading so much and I klnow that Dr brizman's approach is the way to go but....

Is there a way to tell if you are flaring of if your symptoms are die-off?

I was wondering if you guys are ok using nail polish, or if that needs to be IC friendly as well. Are there any brands that are no-no? I love Essie and use SpaRitual but i might have gotten a flare from trying a new Essie color. I am also curious what polish remover i can try, seems they are all so toxic smelling. 

When can nuts be added in?

So I am starting bifido factor for the 2nd time right now and it makes me have a lot of pressure in my bladder and it makes me pee more. Does anyone know why it does this or anyone have a similiar situation happen to them? It makes me feel like I am getting worse rather than better but I know that can't be the case. Does anyone have any incite into the matter? Is this a huge yeast killer? Any help would be appreciated!

Hope noone minds such a technical question - has Matia ever told people what a normal bladder should feel like, for us, when we are recovered? When I started on my own treatment, I had burning, irritation, inflamed feeling etc. Over the three and half months, this has slowly changed to just a pressure, one that increases when die off is going on and subsides when it is not. At all times, I can feel urine in my bladder as if the lining is very sensitive. But then again, for as long as I can remember, I could always feel my urine, just that with IC, my bladder feels more sensitive.

Recently Matia have me start the Bifido probiotics, 1/4 a pill to add to rest of my pills. At first i had pain with urination on/off but then i had a good whole week. I was telling my husband how good i felt for the first time since july last year. I think i jinxed myself :(

so happy to anounce yesterday was my first day OUT Of Discomford, pressure or pain in my urethra

Is there a mascara that is safe? Does anyone know of one? So many make my eye itch like crazy!
