They say the gut lining replenishes itself in 24 hours. I read a book about leaky gut, and it said that the the gut lining is replenished in, I think, 4-6 days. If this is all gut related, and possibly leaky gut syndrome, I wonder if a person could just be fed intravaneously for a few days until their gut healed. Just wondered if any experimentation along these lines has ever been done with IC patients.

I wish the recipes on here were broken down by list.

Do any of you experience any physical trauma in the vulva or bladder area before this started?

Hi everyone,

Dear all,

This is sometihing I have wondered about. If you think it's a possibility, let me know. I had mono for the first time a few years ago. As an adult, I couldn't really take off work and rest for months like some kids do when they get it at a young age. months later, I had some tests run and my spleen was enlarged, so the doctors suspected it was still the mono causing it. For a while, before IC, I have felt chronic fatigue and wondered if mono had anything to do with it.

Hi all,

I would really like to know what´s your opinion regarding red meat consumption (or just generally eating too much meat) and the link with colon cancer, which was scientificallyproven multiple times. I have read some articles/studies on this, as I have acces to some databases. I really do not know what to think. Do anybody know Matia´s opinion on this? 

One of my coworkers lend me this book and i wanted to share it with you. It's 500+ pages, beautiful and really simple and interesting to read. It's Chinese Natural Cures: Traditional Methods for Remedies and Prevention by Henry C. Lu. 

Dear all,

I have booked my appt. Will be flying in from the UK. However, I am now anxious that I'll be the one that she can't help. How did you all deal with these anxieties? Also, I can't get my head around te idea of how ther bladder lining can heal itself. can it do that? It's chronically damaged so how can this process be reversed? Is this what the tretament protocol is all about? I would be grateful for any insights.

Thank you all so much.

It just started today and here I am at work and all of this gunk is coming out.  I freaked out a co-worker, he thinks I have pink eye.  I assume its die off?  Anybody else have this happen?  I also get super crusty eyes near my tear ducts in the morning…
