    Wonderful thought...thanks for reminding us. My kids used to participate when they were in school and I am a bit out of the loop when it comes to that.

    Blessings for everyone........

    Did you know that up to 94% of interstitial cystitis patients find some symptom relief when they change their diet, and that dietary modification is recommended as a first line treatment for IC? Check out the IC Food List to get started!
