When this does not work and you can't get supplies to measure your own pH, use the second newer formula as there is a rare condition that some people get allergic to citric acid. The cure as I remembered was to add lemon juice, or more precisely lime juice, since here in Thailand we tend to call green lime, "lemon" and it gets confusing here since no one here ever uses yellow lemon!
Therefore try one whole freshly squeezed lime juice, then add baking soda at 1/4 teaspoon interval until the fizzing stops. Then add water to one half glass of water. This will correct vitamin C, phosphate deficiencies, rare citric acid allergies, and Oxidation reduction potentials that are not within the normal parameter. You should notice improvement within the next day.
In one case I have witnessed a severe bicarbonate deficiency, in that case that person I knew had to go using just pure bicarbonate only formula, which consists mostly of 90% sodium bicarbonate and 10% potassium bicarbonate. So his dose was about 1/2 teaspoon taken for twice a day for a least two weeks before his became normal. I knew he had a severe form as his urinary pH were something near pH of 5, which is considered extremely low.
However, I suspect dietary issues are a problem here for you. Fruits in general are high in sugar, oily foods can also create problems, low sodium diets also, even high potassium diets, and high phosphate diets. Only a pH meter can tell me that. For example if the salivary pH exceeds 7.5 that's high phosphate. If urinary pH is extremely low then bicarbonate only. However, for most people urinary pH is usually between pH 5.5 to 6. In which case a bicarbonate and citric acid works best. For people whose pH remains always stubborn and refused to budge to 6.5, then a pinch of disodium phosphate will help (found in lemons and some bananas), but on the other hand, if the pH have a tendency to "drift" to acid after a day or two OR if you seem to be allergic to something whenever a change in diets or eating certain foods, then it is a sodium molybdate deficiency.
In case of IC, my common remedy that seemed to help is one SINGLE dose of 1-2 teaspoon of sea salt in one glass of water. The pain will reduce in a matter of an hour. If you want to take it again, then you can take it only another week. This is just a precautionary standard to prevent too much sodium. People on a pure vegetarian, or raw food diets, seems to have problems about low sodium. In conclusion, measure your pH first then you start from there whether your case is alkaline or acid, extreme acid or extreme alkaline, and whether you seem to be allergic to something. These telling things are clues to what you should do.

At this point I am trying to plan what to do first.
I mixed the lemon and 1/4 Baking Soda in the mornings for the past week. Then I read that Ted suggest not to add the acid or ACV with Baking Soda for food intolerance's.
So my next step would be the H2O2 in water. Then the Borax soap I have read so much that now I am just confused. Any help is welcome. Could be Brain Fog. Thank you.

Over the past 14 years I went from vegetarian, to paleo, to keto to carnivore with a great stint of zero carb animal food only for 8 weeks but had to return to carbs due to painful to no elimination.
Almost worn completely out I have been inactive and non-compliant with monitoring my diet. In a lot of pain now looking at avoiding PUFA's on top of the gluten, nightshades, and restricting the highest of lectin, histamine, oxalate, salicylate, caffeine and nickel foods.
