Starting in September, I started getting some mild bladder infections. I would feel better while on the antibiotic, but the symptoms would come right back as soon as I would go off of it. I met with my GYN who ran some tests and gave me a diagnosis of Interstitial Cystitis (IC) which is a painful condition due to inflammation of the tissues in the bladder wall.
I was so sad to learn that this condition is also triggered by ......FOOD! Particularly food that is acidic such as Apples, Fruit Juices, Carbonation, Chili, Spicy food, Chocolate, Tomatoe, etc. I was told to remove all of these foods from my diet and then I began a series of 7 bladder washes to help eliminate the inflammation in my bladder. My GYN and my GI are also questioning whether or not I have eosinophils in my bladder which could be contributing to the inflammation. Either way...my bladder now reacts to food, so it is just one more complicated issue to deal with.
