Just wanting to share about sex, and hear some feedback. I am in the midst of a sex flare, which is no fun. 

I have been in treatment for 4.5 months. I have had IC since January 1, 2013, after a night of ecstatic love with my partner. I do not have severe IC, but let's say it definitely stands in the way some days of the "normal" activities in life. I try not to judge it, because I know that it's relative, everyone has a different experience of it.

Hey All,

I am kind of bored with my breakfast ideas, and have run through the recipe section. Anyone have any list 1 and 2 suggestions that have worked for you that you would be willing to share??

Love and light.

Hi All,

I was wondering if yoga is okay during treatment? I feel like I can remember reading somewhere that Dr B prefers that people don't do yoga during the early stages of treatment but not sure if I imagined it? If we are not meant to, what is the reason?

Just want to say hello to everyone on this blog. I just started treatment with Boaz 1 month ago in December and am so incredibly thankful for getting help. I started having IC symptoms back in October but have been sick from a re-occurrent C-Diff infection since August. It is an antibiotic resistent infection that attacks your colon. I was treated with many antibiotics to kill the infection and that possibly triggered my IC. I am an RN and picked up the infection at work in the NICU that I work in.

Hi all. I've been a patient of Boaz's for a little under a month now, so still very new to all of this. The strict diet is difficult, and although I'm mostly craving sweets, I've been starting to have some pretty intense cravings for bread. I had initially decided not to bother trying to find any of the yeast-free, sugar-free breads (initially convinced that such a thing couldn't even exist), as all of my attempts to seek out such "breads" were a complete waste and yielded some very odd looks from store workers...even those in health food stores.

Hi All,

Hello Friends,

I do not like condoms but I would like to really do everything I can for my healing process, and Boaz does not want ANY sexual fluid exchange, to stop passing bacteria back and forth. I will do anything to heal from this, so I would like to try it...but I am irritated by latex and regular lubricants-can only use Bomasense lubricant. So question:

Has anyone found a condom that is non-latex, non-lubricated? It doesn't seem to exist, but maybe someone out there?

Love and light.

Hi there everyone,

my name is Alexander and I just joined the forum. This is my first post. 

I've been working with Boaz for the past month or two, and I've seen some great progress. 

I'm finally able to drive in the car again without having to stop every 10-20 minutes, and I'm able to sleep pretty well at nights. 

On top of that, I'm having improvements in my daily life as I'm able to do more things without always having to go use the bathroom. 

As we sit on the cusp of Christmas and NYE I'm also on my 2 year anniversary with IC which hit me just before Christmas 2011 during what was apparently a bit too much of a festive season for me that just took its toll on my body, resulting in evil antibiotics which (on top of an amalgamatoin of toxins that must have been piling up in my body) resulting in IC. 

Hello All,

I need a little cyber hug today. I have been doing for the most part very well. The flares have become less aggressive, and farther in between. I was really feeling like this was "going away." I suppose it's what we all hope for...
