What The??

Ok, so I know that I also had posted a thread about taking Enablex...however, I took one today, as I did yesterday & the day before & it's not working now :rant: I don't know what is going on, although I have noticed that I have the same painful urge to pee at the exact same time each day for the last few days or so. I wonder if it is the change in the Aloe that I am drinking...combining a new kind along with the apple juice I put it in?? Aloe is usually fine with me, but this kind is not the whole leaf. I drink it in the morning, so maybe that could be doing this. I am really not food sensitive when it comes to IC...but something as simple as that may just be causing this :loco: Cause an infection has been ruled out.
Well, I'll call my docs tomorrow...but in the meantime I hope the pain lessens after I pee on my ovulation test, so that my fiance & I can begin trying to conceive!!

P.S. Could be the vitamins in the morning too...but I have for been doing great with them for awhile now :rolleyes:

It is rather infuriating to try to figure out why things are okay one time and then are not okay the next. Besides the change in Aloe, have you changed the type of or brand of apple juice?

One thing I have noticed over the years with me...I can go along eating or drinking something without problems, then it seems like out of nowhere things change. As an example...I used to be able to take a certain multivitamin without it causing a problem. Then one day, that changed. I could no longer take that vitamin. I don't know if the brand I was taking changed the ingredients or where the ingredients came from, but I do know that it caused a flare.

Drink water to flush the offending urine out of your body. I hope you start to feel better very quickly.

Thanks so much for the comment back :) I just was able to go to the bathroom & indeed, my bladder was very full!! I've got the lovely IC belly, which only gets worse as my bladder fills anyway. As least I am actually peeing & it's not some false bladder thingy going on...where you go the bathroom & nothing comes out :loco:
In thinking about it...I think I did change the apple juice as well. The other kind was from Wegman's & this kind is from Walmart...or so I think :confused: Maybe that along with the change in aloe just isn't meshing. I did take my ovulation test & the line wasn't as dark as the control line, but it is closer to being dark than it has been over the past two days. We really want to begin trying today...hopefully the pain will not be so bad :pray:
I flare before I ovulate anyway, but as I mentioned, this has been for a week now :rant: I suppose I will try to switch things up tomorrow morning & see if anything changes as far as bladder symptoms. It's just so difficult to pinpoint what may trigger a flare, when you have been fine for such a good amount of time :rolleyes:

I've experienced the same as Sharon...some things that haven't bothered my bladder before sometimes may here and there pop up and and cause me problems out of nowhere. For example, I used to be able to take all of my vitamins/supplements just fine all at the same time after breakfast for years. Then all of a sudden earlier this year I started having problems with bladder burning at a certain time everyday between breakfast and lunch. I figured out by process of elimination that it was the vits and supps that were causing me problems, but only if I took them all at the same time. Now I spread out taking them throughout the day after each meal or snack, rather than taking them all at the same time, and that solved that problem for me.
Best wishes,Bri:)
