I wasn't sure where to post this. Someone please redirect me if there is a better forum for this question.
What do we know about urine acidity and IC symptoms? I started testing for the first time yesterday and have been at 5.5 - 6.0. So I took Prelief today and have been focusing on eating alkaline-producing foods today. How long does it take to alter the Ph of the urine? And if that is going to improve symptoms, how long after Ph is improved should it help?
What about probiotics/yogurt cultures? At the health food store they told me these would reduce acidity by crowding out acid-producing bad bacteria, but other sources on the web say probiotics are acid-producing. I have tolerated yogurt in the past, but am not sure if I should be eating it or avoiding it right now.
Thanks!
