This is not a recipe, but it is a discovery I made today and had to share; it is DELICIOUS! It's a product called Coconut Bliss made by Luna & Larry. For example, here are the ingredients for the "Vanilla Island" flavor: ALL ORGANIC: coconut milk, agave syrup, vanilla extract, vanilla beans. Run, don't walk to your nearest store that carries health food items. There were tons of flavors there.

This sounds amazziiinggg! I will run out to the store, promise. hahaha I love coconut!!!
28 yrs old,
I have little to no problems now with my bladder, unless I am very stressed out, I forget to take Elmiron for a few days, or I eat or drink something that I know is a trigger...(i.e) like eating a tomato or drinking tea.... Took a long time to get here, but it IS possible to feel good again
I just want people who are new to know that IT CAN get better, and for every one person who is suffering, there are hundreds of others who feel GREAT because they have control of thier IC. 
What Works: Tylenol 3's, Pyridium, Elmiron (Going on 4 years now!) HOT showers!!!
Medications/ Vitamins: Elmiron-100mg 4x's daily Tylenol 3's/Advil (flaring) Vitamin D, WILD salmon oil 4x gels in the morning, Women's ONE a DAY multivitamin (the gummy kind doesn't make me flare) and PROBIOTICS!
Me in my graduation gown!

Re: Coconut Bliss
I bought some Coconut Bliss "Vanilla Island" ice cream at Whole Foods Market last week. It is creamy, smooth and delicious. I like it much better than the SO brand of non-dairy ice cream. Coconut Bliss ice creams are non-dairy and made with coconut milk. Larry & Luna's Coconut Bliss has about a dozen different flavors but there are only 3 that would be safe for me to eat (Vanilla Island, Ginger Cookie Caramel, and Naked Coconut). I just wish they'd make it in containers larger than a pint.
