Wat Works 4 Frequency?

[Flarin-up Vicky]

I have been eating whatever I've wanted without getting any flare-ups
:woohoo: but sometimes I just have to pee alot,what works for frequency? I tried all the different kinds of Detrol but it didn't work and it gave me cotton mouth,pyridium doesn't work for me either!I've tried corn silk,but that was to help flare-up pain,I think? Does Cysto-protek help for frequency or flare-ups?
Any suggestions would help at this point because I just got a job as a cashier and the holidays make it hard for me to just leave my register and go pee!:bonk:

Diet is my best help. I know caffine is a big frequency maker. Kathi

kathi is right the diet helps the most you can find the diet at www.ic-network.com/handbook if you are having problem with the diet you can order the book Confidenet Choices by Jule Beyer, RD she is also an IC patient that wrote the book you can order her book from our ICN shop here on the ICN. I really wish her book had been out when i was frist dx it really makes finding your trigger points out so much more easier. the book also has a lot of helpful info. in it. plus some great recipes! I've already tried some of them my self and the hubby and children loved too.

if you are looking for a medicine to help you the Oxytrol patch really helped me, but I had an awful side effect from it. (headaches) the headaches was so bad I had to give it up, but it did help.
hope you feel better soon and get this under control soon i know how much of a pain that can be.
sending you hugs and prayers for better days to come.
