Frequency

Re: Frequency

Hydrodistentions have helped me with frequency. I also take levsin for flares and it cuts way back on frequency.

Donna, did the Levsin ever cause diahrrea or retention?

What helps me the most is eating really bland foods, TONS of vegitables. The more veggies I eat in a day the less bothered my bladder is... I dont eat sugar, bread, dairy, or any of the IC trigger foods either...I also drink alkalized water! I think Elmiron is finally starting to help as well

Levsin is the brand name for hyoscyamine --- I have taken it for flares for at least several years.

Donna-interesting. I haven't run across that before. How long have you taken it? And, if you don't mind my asking, did you try any OAB prescriptions as well?

Jacque-I'm taking DHA as well for about two weeks now. I can't tell much of an improvement. Of course, allergy season is in full swing, and I think that may be a big trigger for me.

Thank you both for replying.

I used to take Desert Harvest Aloe Vera and I found that helped me with Frequency. I probably will be going back on it myself.

I'm sure this has been addressed in this forum before, but I thought I would throw it out there again:

What treatment (traditional or alternative) has helped you the most with frequency issues?

thanks.
