Chronic Pain Today

Anyone with IC knows that diet is the most important part of your treatment. Interstitial Cystitis is not curable but it is slightly controllable when you are eating the right foods and avoiding certain “trigger foods”.  Earlier in this blog I did a post on the IC foods list. This was important in showing you the foods that are ok and which ones aren’t ok.

There is a very real link to IC and acidic foods, these foods that are more acidic than alkaline in the pH scale. Those links and the full article on that can be found in two parts:

And then finally, Sandy over at IC Disease and Fighting Fatigue, has a six part set of articles all about IC and the Elimination Diet. These articles are great to really get a thorough understanding of how diet is crucial to your IC therapy.
