I have been doing better for over a month- which is HUGE for me!!! I am attempting to go on a retreat this weekend- a big deal for me since i very rarely travel and never without my kids. Anyway- since wed night, I have not been doing as well and now I am really regretting signing up and paying for this at the same time that I am just feeling so completely DONE with all this crap.

I think I'm right in saying that the clocks in California go forward 1 hour this weekend. 

Just want to make everyone aware so they don't miss their appoiintments.

For us in the UK it means that from 9th March until 30th March L.A. will only be 7 hours behind until our clocks also go forward.

Hello everyone, I posted on here a few months ago about being pregnant. In any case I am now 15 weeks along and if anything things have gotten worse. My only symptom is urinary urgency, now I know being pregnant can make things worse but I was hoping and told that often in the 2nd trimester some women get some relief. My urgency is so severe especially at night I am often literally just sitting on the toilet and don't sleep. I am on blood pressure medication because my blood pressure since being pregnant has become very high.

Alright, I am in the market for creative dietary minds- which we are!

I have been gluten free for a number of years and am now kicking rice out as well. For those of you who do to eat rice or wheat, which grains do you use and is there a decent bread you know of? I could theoretically make my own but would much rather buy one already made;)

Thanks, Katie

Does anyone get ulcers in their nose, inside the nose in the nostrils?? I do and they are horrible. Very very painful and so gross. Sort of like canker sores in my nose. Takes weeks to go away. Sometimes I get sick (flu or cold) a week or so after they start. But sometimes I don't so I'm not sure there's any correlation. I've talked to Matia about it but not at length. I'm getting them so much more now though so I need to know what's going on and how to stop them!

Hi, all. I am a new patient of Dr. Brizman's. Unfortunately, not new to IC. I have had it for 17 years and am finally ready to do whatever it takes to kick its butt. Fortunately, I found Dr. Brizman. I've been on the diet a little over a week and am doing okay so far.

One question ... what are you all doing regarding Beauty products. I am definitely a makeup and hair products girl. Does everything have to be organic? Not sure my bank account will accommodate that.

Just wondering if you all had any advice/suggestions?

Hi Ladies,

    We have a slew of March birthdays in my family.....(mine included) and this has not been an easy year for our family so I am determined to throw a nice party and invite the family and friends who have helped us. Although I am on list 5, I have not ventured into the world of desserts much at all and have somehow missed our ground rules. I have searched the site and feel I have a better grasp on this, but would love to hear some of your recipes that you have found successful and would serve as a great at a birthday party.

Hi everyone! Me again, I wanted to ask if anyone has had acute onset of pain and swelling. I woke this morning walked to the shower without issue took my shower and when I went to step out I had excruciating pain at the the head of my 5th metatarsal and instantly started to swell. It is still very swollen and throbbing difficult to bear weight through my foot. Dr. M said it could be a type of sensitivity and told me to stop goldenseal. Anyone have this happen to them and know the explanation for it?

Hi,

After several years of treatment, I have been approved to eat natural chocolate, agave, & maple syrup sweetened treats in small quantities.  Could any of you recommend a place to buy fruit or agave sweetened chocolate?  I am also looking for a good source to find agave or maple syrup sweetened treats.  Yeah!!!
