Hi all
Boax recently asked me to try juice plus which I ordered from the UK amazon. Its just arrived and says that it contains oat bran fibre? my ic is extremely affected by gluten and I have been gluten free for years. Oats are normally cross contaminated by wheat gluten and to be honest I dont even want to try it. Has anyone else has experience with this product?

Thanks

Katie

I have been in tx for 2 1/2 years now and feeling so much better.  Recently my college-age daughter began seeing Dr. M.  She doesn't have IC, but has had IV antibiotic use as a child for serious infections. She's been having multiple UTI's and Yeast infections, not to mention she contracted Epstein Barr Virus this Summer.  She finally agreed to go into tx.  I just couldn't watch her develop IC, or some other chronic condition.  Right now she is having horrible symptoms while on SF 722, which she has taken now for 1 month.

Hi Everyone-

I'm on the verge of a meltdown.  Despite eating this way on list 5 with just fruit as sweets FOR SEVEN YEARS, I've got elevated blood sugar.  I cannot &*(&*(^&^ believe this.  To make things worse, recently my blood pressure showed up a little high.  I've been on this ICAMA lifestyle since I was 24, I'm now 31!  And I'm having old people health problems.  I can't take it anymore!  It's so scary, and so weird.  Also, my bladder, while better is really not that great.

Has anyone else had anything similar crop up?  So upset!

I don't write too much any more, as my main struggle that lingers is anxiety and ocd - feel a bit like a square peg in a round hole - like if the physical is fixed I should be able to get over the mental things - tough it out and push through.  I'm always left wondering how much more Matia can do for my head trips - how much is physical.  Oh, I know they go hand in hand - I struggle as to what degree.  Sorry, this is a bit of a babble.  I'm into my sixth day of a 15 day road trip.  Whenever I get out of my routine my coping skills start to circle the toilet.  I can't sleep and this seemed l

Has anyone had a cortisone shot /epidural whilst in treatment? Did it really mess up your bladder or were you ok? I'm currently having accupuncture for my back pain and I beleive it's helping, boaz agreed to it as I've been suffering so much. However, there is a strong chance it's negatively affecting my bladder as I've been flaring for about w weeks now. The other option is to get a cortisone injection or maybe an epidural but boaz is very worried about what that might do to my bladder. It's a nightmare trying to juggle these treatments!

Hi everyone,

Does anyone use mouthwash? When I had my first appointment, I told Boaz I used Tom's mouthwash, and he acted like it was fine. There is no alcohol in it. I just wanted to see if anyone else used it. I only use it on occasion, not daily. I just don't want it to hinder treatment. 

Has anyone ever had a short break from the herbs to see what's going on? My back pain continues to worsen and I feel like I need to know if it's being worsened by die off.I still can't sit or lie down and everything we try herbal seems to make it worse. I was considering taking no herbs for a few days and then starting again on a lower dosage (under supervision of course). Anyone else had a break at any point? Did it help/hinder recovery? My IC is improving which I'm so so grateful for but the back pain is actually worse than the bladder pain was and I desperately need some relief.
