Suggestions for bladder pain?

[Guest guest]

I've had urinary issues since childhood and am on the interstitial cystitis

" spectrum. " Most of

the time, I can control my symptoms by avoiding irritants (caffeine,

especially), and taking d-

mannose, Chinese herbs, and colloidal silver, but the pain's been very

persistent of late. Any

suggestions?

Thanks,

Try to drink a LOT of water, as much as you can. I find that my IC

symptoms are worse when my urine is concentrated. I have less pain

when I drink plenty of water to dilute the urine, it is less

irritating that way. Often when I have a flare up all I have to do is

drink some extra water and I feel much better.
