Who takes it? What are your opinions on it? I'm thinking of ordering it. Its expensive though, I'd order the 3 month supply.
I'm doing so much better and would like to bag this IC with another great medication, LOL.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

Well I tried it and it didnt do anything for me, BUT it worked great for my husbands arthritis...:smile tee
Gave me a terrible headache, nausea & bladder flare. But, I discovered several months later that I'm allergic to fish & shellfish, so that explains it!
Hope it works well for you---

I tried it years ago and flared from it. I returned it. The money back guarantee works! Other swear by it, so it might be worth a try.

It made me flare. Not a good experience here but who knows. We're all different.

I also found it irritating to my bladder. But there's a thread around here somewhere, where a lot of people have posted about the great success they've had with cystoprotek. So maybe you'll be in that group.
I take CystaQ, also a quercetin blend, but lacking whatever ingredient in Cystoportek that made me flare up. I have been very happy with the CystaQ.

After reading that many people were helped by different things I was ready to try them all. I am (knock on wood) feeling better each month. Some bad days but mostly OK days. I am on the ic diet and Elmiron. I decided not to fix something that isn't broken and have not tried anything else at this time. Also how would I know which is really helping if I take other things. I believe I will always have IC but could get close to normal someday. Should I go backwards into a major flare I would darn near try anything. If you are doing "OK" I'd stay the course myself. Just my opinion. Good luck. Ziggy

I tried it for a good month and didn't notice that it did anything helpful for me. I didn't have any flares from it either so that was good. I have read on here that it helped some ppl a lot.

Tried it way back when and got nauseated. That got better, but my bladder didn't....
Hope yours does!

I Love the stuff. It's helped me enormously. It is worth trying because it's made of all natural ingredients. Yes, some people may have bad reactions to it, but it is NOT universal and many people tolerate it extremely well.
I was told to take it with Desert Harvest aloe vera capsules (www.desertharvest.com) and along with the IC diet and bottled water, it has changed my life. I felt better within days of taking both of these together.
They both work to decrease inflammation.
The man who created Cystoprotek, Dr. Theoharis Theoharides, is a hero in the IC movement and speaks to many groups of IC patients.
Both products are for sale in the IC Network shop and you can read about both on the Net.
