Hey everyone,
My name is Tiffany and I was just diagnosed with IC on March 16th 2011. I've been spending quite a bit time on this board learning things.
Although I am on elavil, I also normally take ibuprofen and Tylenol throughout the day. Now that I know acid is a BIG IC irritant, I am just wondering if ibuprofen or Tylenol has acid that could cause a flare?
If this is the case, in your experience, which over-the-counter pain meds do not have acid issues?
I apologize if this isn't the appropriate place for this post, I just couldn't find a "pain" sub-forum.
Thanks for your help,
Tiffany
