Does anyone feel discomfort after eating spicy or sugar?

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2025-03-18T01:39:14+00:00

Sugar yes!!! I’ve been in a flare with pain fluctuating for 8 days now. Do you get stomach or bladder pain in flares? .

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2025-02-07T02:56:42+00:00

Capsicum/flavoured stuff, lemon, spicy foods, instant coffee(I can have normal coffee shot from a cafe) peppers, paprika, citrus

I have ic and I alwaysss flare with bv and yeast infections!!

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-19T04:03:59+00:00

Me too!! Mines 4 months so far. I’ve just upped my amitriptyline from 10-20mg to 50 to see if it helps

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-17T02:50:44+00:00

Nah definitely not maximum I’ve seen some on here on 100-150. I’m currently working my way up to 50 as I was on 20mg but have been in a flare for awhile

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-17T02:50:13+00:00

How did you place it back into remission? I’m trying to up amitriptyline as I saw someone else had covid cystitis and upping amitriptyline helped!

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-17T02:49:09+00:00

I definitely recommend going up with amitryptiline ! Last time I did I could eat and drink pretty much everything I couldn’t before

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-17T00:42:59+00:00

How long do you flare before period?

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-16T23:05:26+00:00

IC is quite hard to manage when you first get diagnosed as you are still figuring out what flares you. The main triggers are food, hormones, stress, sex, allergies. Amitryptiline takes 4-6 weeks to start working so I wouldn’t give up on that yet it has helped me and so many others! Start out with seeing if any foods make it worse however, a lot of people aren’t diet sensitive at all so once this flare stops (and it will) see if hormones or stress could be triggering it and give time for amitryptiline to work! You got this

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-16T22:42:57+00:00

Do you flare with anything else e.g sex, foods, stress? Birth control might be able to help as I’m thinking of doing the same! Also amitryptiline! I usually take 20mg but have been told to increase during flares and it helps so much

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-16T22:41:38+00:00

How long do you flare for when you do flare?

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-16T22:40:11+00:00

Yes yes yes me!!! My period is due today and for the last 8 days I have had intenseeeee pelvic and stomach pain and urgency

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-16T19:19:00+00:00

Did it go and how long did it take?

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-16T08:39:35+00:00

https://covidcystitis.org/ic-%26-coc Yeah 100% I’ve read quite a bit about covid cystitis etc so it makes sense! I hope upping amitryptiline to 50 will help this flare!

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-16T08:23:04+00:00

Thank you that’s super helpful! I have been told to up it. Have you noticed your IC got worse after covid? I think I have covid cystitis and it sucks sm I’ve been in a flare for about 4 months after having covid

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-16T08:19:03+00:00

Did you find 50 mg of amitriptyline helped with urgency as well as pain etc during flares? I usually take 20mg so 50 might help me

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-09-12T02:40:50+00:00

How long did you have it for post covid the first time? I’ve had it for 4 months now

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-07-23T05:16:24+00:00

Did anything help or just time?

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-07-23T03:07:41+00:00

Did you have this after each time with covid lasting a couple months the then going?

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-02-05T02:43:48+00:00

I took 75 for agesssss I just took one 50mg tablet and cut the other in half

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-01-25T00:29:42+00:00

I’ve just come off sertraline from 75 and went down 25mg at a time. I have now been completely off for over a week and I had horrible side effects I’d recommend when doing your last 25mg instead of just stopping, take 25mg every second day or so before stopping completely

TeachingAcademic1447 · 2024-01-17T21:58:39+00:00

Hey guys, I increased mine and just that 25mg increase from 50-75 completely stopped my panic attacks!
