has anyone had a really comprehensive stool test done and been a bit confused by the results? i am going to see the doctor to have the results explained to me on monday, but i have them in hand now and have been using the lab website to help understand. i had no yeast/fungi, which i knew would be the case. but my bacteria levels were not all over the place. i was hoping they would be to give confirmation to matia's theory, but the only pathogenic bacteria that came up high was c difficile.

Hey All!

Has anyone got the Aquasana whole house water filter installed and, if so, what is their experience with it? I'm wondering if it is worth the money.

Hi  I am considering coming over from the UK to see Dr B  and am concerned that I will be asked to come off Amitriptyline.  I did come off all medication for my spine pain these last few weeks and the only one I have a problem with is Ami.  This is because I thought I was taking it for my bladder to help me sleep but in fact when I came off it my chonic spine pain in my neck, houlders and head have become unbearable and I had forgotten how bad they were.  I would not sbe able to work with this pain and am gradually re introducing Ami hoping that I will get the pain relief I got before I cam

Hello all,

When I was about 25 years old I started to have heartburn. My doctor suggested

I take prilosec. So I did for about 7 years!! Since starting with Matia it has  become

a little better but it is still something I deal with on a daily basis. Does anyone

else have this problem? For those who have been in treatment a long time when

did this go away? I feel like there is no way my bladder will get better with this

acid running through my body.

I learned today that I have extensive tricky dental work needed. I am very very nervous and he suggested gas to lessen anxiety (weak nitrous oxide). I begin on Friday. Has anyone had this experience?  Does it affect IC? ANY info greatly appreciated....

I know there are some really, really well-versed women on here regarding non-toxic products.  Just thought I would throw out a website for those who have not viewed it yet.

I know very little about the practice of yoga, so I am hoping to get some commentary here.  I have found a website that discusses the best poses for IBS/gas/bloating, etc... Things we all suffer from in IC.  If anyone has any good DVDs they could recommend, I would love it!  Thanks: http://www.helpforibs.com/yoga/poses.asp#poses

  Do any of you use a natural dish detergent?  I have been using Ivory and would like to switch to one with less chemicals.  I know some people make their own detergent with soap nuts.  I don't think that option is realistic at this point LOL.
