Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 , that is GREAT that your IC symptoms are only annoying! What you describe sounds like how I was in high school. I always had to go frequently, and there times that certain foods or drinks would cause me to "flare" more, although back then I had no idea it was IC. In my 20's is when it progressed leading to diagnosis. If you watch what you eat... you might not have any trouble at all! , did you test positive for Lyme? What other conditions do you have besides the IC? God Bless, / WV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I tested negative for Lyme using LabCorp but might at some point retest with Igenex. I've been taking the Cat's Claw, though, and don't seem to be reacting to it. I thought I had a little bit of stomach gas for 4 or 5 days but that went away so it might not be related to the Cat's Claw. I'm now taking 20 drops and am still increasing it. I do have vulvar vestibulitis syndrome, lichen sclerosis, and gluten intolerance, though. I'm going to be tested Dec 19 for food allergies including things like yeast, casein, soy. I tested negative for food allergies 9 years ago but suspect I might have a yeast allergy now and possibly casein or soy so I wanted to retest. Thanks so much for sharing your story, though, because I've been so horrible with my diet lately, eating Mexican one night, Thai the next and lots of coffees and teas. Also, I suspect I might be damaging my bladder and am not aware as much because I'm taking desipramine and elavil for my VVS and it could be masking the symptoms. I think I'll try really hard to go back to drinking herbal caffeine free teas and water. Re: IC / , that is GREAT that your IC symptoms are only annoying!
