Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 There is one more thing that really aggravates the pain of my IC. Dairy results in increased bladder pain and makes me feel very jittery as if my heart is racing and my blood pressure is elevated. But I have checked both with a home monitor and neither is abnormal. I am now convinced that I am experiencing an allergic reaction.(And that makes sense because we know that there are increased mast cells in IC) I am sure that the triggers are different with each IC sufferer, but I'm thinking that allergic response may be part of the picture. in MI > >> Hey guys, my mom was just diagnosed with interstitial cystitis and >>i was wondering if anyone here has it.
