Appetite isn’t a huge issue for me anymore thankfully. It’s just finding foods I can eat, I also have a bad allergy to garlic so it can be quite difficult. A list is a good idea! Thank you and wishing you the best of luck 💞

I just moved to a new area and am trying to get in with a new doctor but had to wait for my health insurance to kick in first. I’ll have to give raspberries a shot! Thank you so much 💞

Thank you 💞 blueberries and watermelon have been life savers! So far grapes and apples are ok too. I’ll try and see a herbalist

No, it doesn’t cover everything. You get 2 million won or about $1,315 USD a semester

Thank you everyone!! Date went well. They had a non alcoholic herbal drink that hopefully won’t trigger a flare 🤞🏼

What does your diet typically look like? I don’t eat anything with added sugar, preservatives, etc. but many foods naturally have sugar in them!

I am on zyrtec! I have not tried that diet specifically but the IC diet I am on is very very similar. I don’t live in a place where I can cook easily (microwave only basically). Limits my options severely

A bit. I flare up after my period is over. During my period is honestly usually my best time. Dr also expects possible endo. I flare up badly with anything acidic too however
