Allopathic Cocktail for Cystitis?

Posted By Sherrie (Brigham City, Utah) on 11/18/2012

I have been diagnosed with IC about 2 years ago. Have had 2 bladder dialations which only took the pain away for 3 months each. I have been on so many different drugs I feel like a lab rat. I have tried apple cider vinegar and got "some" relief. Am I missing something? My doctor now wants me to do home pain relief with a "cocktail" mixed especially for me. Very expensive. Anyone out there with IC have any suggestions?

Try this for immidiate relief : Baking Soda in water about 2tblspoons in one cup of water, 3x a day. You need to completly reinvent the way u eat. YOU CAN NOT CHEAT!!!!!!!!!!! Eat nothing but veggies and water for a month. You will see/ feel the difference. As you get better u can start trying nuts, and fuit. YOU CAN NOT EAT: Sugar, alcohol, soda, fast food, junk food, acidic stuff ( ex Juices), meat. Sorry u can not eat a lot of things! All these and many more are acidic its like throwing acid on your bladder! Look into Acid Alkaline. Change the way u eat change ur life! Oh yea even meds are acid. Look into IC network. Good luck u are not alone, we need to stick together and find a cure <3 Much love ur IC sister.. Oh yea keep looking!!!!!
