Anyway, just wanted to see if there was anyone else on here dealing with this who could offer some tips and/or advice.
Thanks!

Hi Nanc,
I've been dx'd with IC as well.. it comes and goes with me.. seems to get flared up at times when I'm run down, and with certain foods, like tomatoes, but then other times tomatoes don't seem to be a problem..?
I would recommend healing your gut.. my understanding is that food sensitivities mean a leaky gut.. google leaky gut syndrome and then consider doing the protocol to heal it. Avoid all food triggers and sugar, wheat, gluten, etc.. take helpful herbs and oils to settle inflammation, such as organic coconut oil, turmeric, maybe some ginger if you can tolerate it, and make sure you chew your food a lot before swallowing it too. And massive amounts of probiotics.. make your own kombucha tea, sauerkraut, kefir, whichever you like, but load up, and that will also help.
I hope that helps.. let me know how you're doing with it!
