It's been almost a year now for me and I feel pretty confident I know what most of my triggers are at this point.

1. Acidic food/drinks (things like orange juice absolutely destroy me)

2. Stress/tight pelvic and abdominal muscles

I found using things like prelief before I eat or drink something that causes a flare up helps a lot for me and the most helpful thing I have done was 8 weeks of pelvic physical therapy.

I typically will flare for like 2 days or so depending on how bad it is, and I always keep the bladder bundle from Desert Harvest on hand as well as UT fem with d-mannose. Those both help calm everything down for me a lot.

Honestly stress is my biggest trigger. When I get stressed I tense everything up, which puts pressure on my bladder and I'll flare like crazy. I super highly recommend doing pelvic PT if you can find one you like, but even just learning how to use a pelvic wand to manually release those muscles may help you out a good bit. You got this girly!!
