I noticed this acid reducer (omeprazole) also has 1100mg of sodium bicarbonate in it. I have to drink baking soda in water almost every day, I wonder if this stuff may help. Has anyone tried it????

I have basically done every treatment for IC except cyclosporine and botox. Everything has failed. I live on pain meds all day. My diet is so strict that I now have multiple vitamin deficiencies. I have also tried numerous alternative therapies. I would do a cystectomy, but doctors seem to think living in pain is better. Currently taking Synthroid, Elmiron, Percocet, Toradol, Desert Harvest aloe. Interstim done 4 times, what a waste. Also newly diagnosed with Hunners Ulcers on cysto. Now disabled due to IC. A body of life, a bladder of hell. -
I use pre lief and that works well. Never tried anything else. -
I can't do the soda thing with my high blood pressure, but Tums works the same for me.

It's a great medication, I have High Blood pressure and my Gi doc has me on this, I like it because I don't have to take it on a regular basis, If I feel a little reflux coming on I take the med and it works!Originally posted by sorrelapp View PostIC diagnosis 3 weeks ago.
