Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 interstitial cystitis. My MIL has this ad there are meds that can help it-- acidic foods make it worse-- she can;t eat lemons, strawberries, cranberry, etc..... she has this stuff that she can take when she eats something like that thsat helps balance the acid out, but it doesn;t work THAT well... if she eats too much acidic food, she develops an infection. Tomato-- she can;t have that-- and she LOVES that-- no tomato sauce-- she's Italian as am I... it is hard for her. I don;t know if your daughter has this..but you may want to look into it-- not sure who can get it, etc... pattie -- bladder Does anyone know of any possible reasons for bladder pain other than infection. Cassie keeps complaining of bladder pain upon urination. Ped did U/A and came out with lots of white blood cells, but ran culture which revealed no bacteria growth. Now I am stumped as to the cause of her pain. It is not an excruciating, just bothersome. We have been doing lots of fluids (water/cranberry) but she keeps saying it feels " funny to go tee tee. Any thoughts??? Also, I did not see the last post I did about the side effects of heparin/dextrose. Does anyone know of any post port flush with dextrose/heparin side effects? Cassie, upon the last time we flushed her port, started saying she had a headache and bad leg cramps. Hope all the sick pumpkins are soon feeling better.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Yeast infection? My my 2yo dd complains of bladder or peeing pain, it usually means that she has a yeast infection. So, I end up on the floor squirting monostat (just a bit) into a vagina. Oh, the things we mom's do! Pam wife to (15 years) mother to , 8, Hannah, 6, Rebekah 2, and Leah (5-11-2001) bladder Does anyone know of any possible reasons for bladder pain other than infection.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Pam, Ouch. I can't even imagine putting anything up in Cassie's vaginal area. Thank goodness I have not had to yet. But, thanks for the suggestion. I am talking to the ped again tomorrow because she is still complaining to see what he thinks. But, would a high white blood cell count in the urine signify a yeast infection? Or, could it signify an infection elsewhere? I am just so confused. I don't remember who wrote in about cystitis. I was wondering about that also. Cassie is just not really a complainer about things. But here lately things have been really bothering her. I don't know if there is any correlation of her being off the IVIG. She has complained about headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, urinary pain etc. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 A high white count usually means a bacterial infection someplace; it can be an infection in the bladder or elsewhere. If she has a vaginal yeast infection, the doctor can prescribe Diflucan which is an oral medication. Good luck. Interstitial cystitis is inflammation of the bladder. It is usually ruled out if the symptoms accompany a UTI; a confirmed one with a positive urine culture. In Him Re: bladder > Pam, > > Ouch.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 Cassie, I don't insert the applicator stick! I just squirt some near the opening and just inside and hope for the best. My doctor said that, most likely, that would be sufficient. So far, and we are NOT the best people to base this off of, Rebekah is more achy, headachy, fussy, and tired when her IgG's drop.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Hi Jill > > Mannose would definitely be good for e coli and I wish I'd had it on > hand in August when I did get an ecoli cystitis that started all > this.

I think Mannose is also likely to be more effective if the infection is in the bladder rather than the urethra. Since it works by a physical action it needs to be in direct contact with the bacteria. In the urethra the mannose may just pass by in the urine and not attatch to the e-coli. Having said that it may work for urethral infections too.

I used a goldenseal gel which I had found to be good on topical infections in the past. Maybe this wasn't strong enough to stop the infection spreading to the urethra???

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Hi , glad to know you used smaller ones, too. I think I will use betadine to disinfect the area first. Either the bacteria retreated to your paraurethral glands, were always there but didn't grow until they " had to " because you killed them in the bladder, OR perhaps since these gut bacteria are commensals and unless we are extremely clean, probably some are in the area no matter what...maybe pushed it up in the urethra. I think the latter is sort of unlikely, seems like the ozone would kill it, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Actually it coats the lining of the urethra and kidneys and bladder, sort of like teflon, and the little spidery legs of the e coli cannot hold on and attach and get washed out. It does not kill them, just doesn't allow them to grab a hold and hang on. At least that is what I read in a Dr. article. He also said he used it for women that were close to needing kidney transplants from chronic/acute uti's and they recovered, so it has to go beyond the bladder in it's affect. It also did not work for my dad. Lugol's iodine and herbs worked. Agrisept also worked. I alternate all these. CS didn't seem to help at all.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi Bee, I used to have the smallest bladder ever! But since starting your program I have noticed that even while drinking more fluids now (about 10-11 cups a day, which includes Bee's Egg Drink and the Electrolyte drink) I sometimes won't go to the bathroom for over 3 hours or so. I used to go every 40 minutes or so. So my question is, what seems to be helping my bladder? Is water now being more useful to my cells and so it's not just going through me as fast? Just trying to understand what this may mean (or maybe it's nothing... ) Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi , Before I started Bee's program, I had issues with bladder irritation and frequency. I had an ultrasound done on my bladder (before and after emptying) and it was found that the there was tension in the bladder that was not allowing it to relax enough to expel all the urine in there. I would have to go at least once every 30 minutes or so and it was very urgent at times! I believe that the candida overgrowths in the bladder causing irritation which results in tension in the bladder. Since being on Bee's program, the bladder irritation has mostly cleared up. I don't believe that is has anything to do with the water getting into your cells. It's more likely that your bladder is less irritated and can relax more to expel more urine at a time so you can go for longer periods in between each urination. I feel this is true for me, but perhaps Bee can shed more light on your situation. > > Hi Bee, <snip> I sometimes won't go to the bathroom for over 3 hours or so. I used to go every 40 minutes or so.
