This is not necessarily directly related to IC, but indirectly. This is a great article about how the microorganisms in your intestines may be affected by GMO foods.

I have been asked countless times about natural mattresses and I really don't have a lot of information on this subject. This just came to my attention and I thought it looked great and I would pass it along to all of you in case anyone is looking for a mattress.
Toxins are everywhere in our environment and have the ability to affect us in many ways. In New Zealand studies have been conducted connecting SIDS to toxins in mattresses. Special covers there have been developed to seal those toxins in to protect the infant from breathing them in.
Because it is so difficult and it takes so much time to make a difference.
One of my patients sent me this today-what a great story. It reminds me of what drives me
to do what I do.
An old man, wise in the ways of the world, and a young boy, full of youthful optimism, walked together on the beach every day.
One day after a terrible storm, the old man and a boy came accros a terrible sight. The fierce winds and high waves had grounded thousands of starfish. The sun was taking its toll.
Will be on Friday at 4:00 pacific.
Please email me if you want to participate on the call. There is a new contact number. Support meetings are for patients only. They are not for patients who are thinking about treatment, I apologize.
I look forward to speaking to all of you.

This is a super interesting article by Dr. Mercola on acid reducing medicines. Many people having IC have been placed on these bc they also experience stomach problems in addition to their IC. I always recommend speaking to the prescribing doctor about removing these kinds of meds from the protocol. I have actually found them to exacerbate ic symptoms dramatically. I agree with Dr. Mercola in that these kinds of medications most important, do not address the underlying issues and worse, can create more problems.
