Hi Everyone

This is a new product for me and I know she does not use it often (oh, lucky me) but my yeast is SO stubborn and really it is bloating that is just slowing down my healing progress. I have had lots of good bladder weeks (in a icky stretch right now) but the bloating persisists. 

I know she has used Solaray Yeast Cleanse for at least one other patient. I am hoping to hear more about it. It gets good reviews from the general yeast-y population on Non-ICers. I have been in treatment 21 months so hoping my body will handle it ok.

Thanks for any info

My son who is 20 has recently started treatment with Boaz, he is having major anxiety/panic attacks. I had to go pick him up from his dad's at 4:30 this morning because he was having one and his dad just does not understand. If anyone has gone through this or going through it any help would be appreciated. I have been in treatment myself 19 months and never had to deal with this myself, but my son was always anxious as a child. If I was late getting him from school he would be crying thing I was dead, all this anxiety seems to have resurfaced.

Does anyone else have a huge fear of eating because of the pain it may cause? I swear I would stop eating if it would allow me to be pain free! Tried to eat out and stick with all my safer foods, but don't think the veggies were quite cooked enough. I just want to be able to enjoy some time with friends and feel normal. Sorry more of a vent than anything! Thanks for listening!!!

Hi all- I think I need glasses but I am afraid to go for an exam because  I know they put drops in your eyes. Has anyone asked Dr B if those drops are ok for us?

Hello ladies! I have had a rather rough week and with Dr. M's approval tried a cream for pain relief for a rather traumatic injury and within an hour had ripping pulling sensation starting in what feels the base of my bladder to just below my belly button. This is where I typically get my pain with flares like a very strong spring is attached and can't stand up straight because of the intense pulling and ripping sensation. Does anyone get this really intense pulling sensation?

I have been in treatment for 2 years & have never experienced this sensation.... Wondering if it is IC related. 2 days ago I woke up with the bottom of my left foot, near my heal but closer to the right inside arch. It is throbbing & making it difficult to walk. This came out of nowhere & it is pretty painful... Has anyone had anything like this happen? In general my legs & feel have been heavy & achy & because I also have MS I always fear that it is a symptom of that. Any input would. Be appreciated

I've been struggling for the longest time with burning when I pee. It has gotten really bad lately. Does anyone else have this symptom?  It's awful because I have to pee every 40 minutes or so.

I am away on Vacation and trying my best but just feeling terrible and so out of the norm. I just feel like a miserable alien who doesn't fit in. This is our last day and still, I cannot relax and just enjoy things as they are. I thought I would be better by now and I just can't see a light at the end of this tunnel. I am driving my husband literally insane and I  feel so incredibly anxious. Can't think of a way to enjoy myself. Also- I am having extreme PMS which makes life unbearable no matter how logical I try to be.

I had never had these lovely visitors before I developed IC and IBS-D concurrently. I have been in treatment for 18 months and they're not improving, probably as I still am healing my gastro issues. Can anyone offer any advice or hope?

Hello all, I apologise in advance for the personal details but I am quite concerned about the feeling I'm getting that feels like it's in the opening of the vagina. The best way to describe it is, it feels like a needle is pricking me when I'm in the position of doing a sit up. So it's not when I'm sitting down properly. If I'm lying down and I move my upper body only (as if to sit up without adjusting my bottom) then it feels like something is getting squashed 'down there' and a needle is pricking me. But if I adjust my bottom and sit up properly it's ok.
