    IC and Diet

    Hi! <img src="graemlins/hi.gif" border="0" alt="[hi]" />

    Does anyone find that eating something offensive doesn't affect you until a day or two later? I ate a lot of sugary candy yesterday morning and woke up in a little bit of a flare last night. I drank tons of water so I am feeling better now. I know a lot seem to feel the symptoms right away but anyone else seem to take a day to notice that you ate a no no?

    Thanks!

    YES! I usually don't feel bad until the next day - it's always been that way for me.

    Diagnosed August 2001

    Current IC meds: Elmiron (since 2001), Levaquin (one pill after intercourse to prevent UTIs), Effexor (for depression & anxiety)

    Past IC meds: Amitriptyline (Elavil), Hydroxyzine (Vistaril), Detrol LA, Lexapro (for depression & anxiety, but also helped my IC) (They all helped, but I was able to discontinue them.)

    I've been virtually symptom free and able to eat & drink whatever I'd like for about 8 years now.

They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” ~ Viktor Frankl

        Sometimes I don't feel the symptoms until two days later...which makes it hard to tell which food caused it.
