Read this article! I have said this so many times. Even when my own mother was dying of cancer and other people close to her kept telling her to enjoy her sweets and alcohol she didnt listen! Which, was horrifically upsetting. Now researchers are finding that it is true!
Reading this may help you understand why I say some of the things I do, as in the sugar has to go!

Treating any kind of chronic illness is very challenging-And treating IC is absolutely a challenge. Please try and remember sometimes as people get started, it seems almost effortless and goes very well from the beginning. While, at other times it is so difficult and pains taking. In those cases, it seems that the suffering will go on endlessly. This is where reading stories from others, or inspirational information here on the site can be helpful-or connecting to other people on the site sometimes can help as well.

A huge part of what ICAMA seek to do for its family of connected people and all those seeking information regarding IC and general health is to educate. There are so many things that we need to be careful of as a culture, such as inappropriate us of antibiotics, synthetic birth control, sugar substitutes, excessive vaccinations, mediations used inappropriately, and the list continues....

Please remember if you have IC or you are just prone to UTIs, that washing after sex can almost completely prevent a UTI.
OK so you dont need to leap out of bed to go wash right after making love, but shortly after go wash with some gentle soap and water. This can allow you to avoid having to take things to prevent the UTI from happening whether that be a prescription of an herbal supplement.
Sometimes something really simple works better than more complicated solutions!

OK, I am going to post this bc I keep getting versions of this letter, and I have read some things in this past on this same subject. I have not found any research or sources to quote on this-so I am telling you, that I am just posting information I have been given by laymen.
I do not recommend canola oil for use in cooking, but if it is an extra ingredient in something then I will usually say yes-and I have not noticed any reactions, but perhaps if everyone is looking for this we could collect something useful.

It has been over a year now that this site has been active. I want to say that I am very grateful to be able to provide a place where people in need may find help and empathy and information.
I am also grateful that this site provides a way for people to find people to talk to and to befriend. IN the end, we are the sum of our relationships. Someone who has touched many people leaves their mark on this world and the reverberation of the affect they have on one person will go on to affect many.

I think I will be moving cucumbers to list 2-for those of you who are new, please watch to see how you react to them. I feel like one too many people in the beginning has said they are sensitive to them.
