Hi Everyone!
This is a big THANK YOU :kissing: to everyone who has responded to my posts. It took me a little while to figure out my way around this website and how to use it properly, especially the message boards. The support out there is wonderful and knowing that you are not alone with this elusive problem helps more than words can convey. I thought that I was going through hell with all of the flareups I started having in a very short period of time, but reading some of your stories makes my situation seem like a walk in the park. I am still awaiting an official diagnosis, but since I have started on the IC diet and have felt so much better I don't even feel a need anymore to put a name to the problem. Having some relief is enough for me.
My cysto is scheduled for next week. Maybe after that we can put all the pieces together and decide if I do have IC. Whether it is YES or NO, I think that the diet will be part of my life for the foreseeable future.
