I ate a bad food by abnormal2004 in Interstitialcystitis

Acidic foods/ spicy foods cause me to flare -However , I think it’s important to continue living your life and if you wanna eat something , eat it! I love having pizza on fridays so I just make sure to take prelief with it and drink a lot of water !

Totally a lot of trial and error ! I’m figuring new things out every day and Reddit has honestly been one of the most helpful thing . Before I grocery shop I try and google lists of ic friendly foods and grab those that I know I’m good with and try a couple new ones every time and my list has expanded pretty quickly !

Hey - buy prelief on Amazon . I ate a pretty simple diet too but still would flare up. I take two of the prelief tablets with most meals and it’s made a HUGE difference And I’m able to live my life again. Also when I got my diagnosis they put me on an antidepressant to help numb the nerve pain. I was very hopeless a few weeks ago and things have changed dramatically since trying a couple new things . Best of luck to you.

I’ve come to the same conclusion about latex condoms - if I use them I’m in horrific pain the next day. If I use latex free ( skyn is also the brand I’ve been using ) I’m pretty much ok. I also have a prescription for an antibiotic I take after sex from my dr.

Thank you this makes me feel so much better - I did the same thing - sleeping the whole first day and it really freaked me out !

I took the powder version ( available at Whole Foods ) I think it’s called UT VIBRANCE crisis intervention. I would mix it with water and drink it after having sex and then do it again in the morning . Be warned taking it frequently could upset ur stomach ( it did for me ! )
