I just wanted to write in and introduce myself. I am a college student and I was dianogsed with interstitial cystitis over a year ago. I have had bladder and kidney infections all of my life. But I spent over a year going to the same family doctor who would keep telling me I had a tract infection and I knew it had to more than that. I had finally gotten to the point where I could not function normally, the only time I could have relief was in a hot bath or sometimes those few moments when I went to bathroom and as soon as that was over the pain was back. But I have been on Elmiron and Upsept for over a year now and I doing a lot better. I am still dealing burning and pain everyweek but I can usally control it by watching what I eat. I am STILL battling with foods I cant just give up. I lived off of Soda all of my life and it is hard just to drink water now. But I one day I will get there. I also still having lots problems with what I can and cant eat. I feel like everything I actually like to eat is off limits. Does anyone know of a good simple cookbook or just any IC pasta recipes? Keep in mind I am still newly married and I am in college so I am not a chef. Bare minimal recipes would be best. I am so glad I found this website, sometimes I feel like no one understands or takes IC as a serious disease in my family so it hard to deal with that.
