potasium citrate

[judy45]

anyone tried this? I have a friend in florida with IC and her Dr. prescribes it to lots of ICers. It is supposed to alkanize the urine. I wake up every morning around 4:30-5 with a constant burning in my bladder and and even increased frequency than during the rest of the night. I have read that your urine is most acidic early in the AM. It sounds like it might be worth a try but I was wondering if anyone had ever tried it.

I have tried it but I stopped taking it before I had truely got a handle on my flares from food. I didn't notice too much of difference on it. What has really helped is the Prelief. Most mornings when I got up my bladder would burn and in the am it is usually worse but I find taking some prelief helped alot. I feel better now that I take that reguarly. I didn't notice a difference when I took Urocit K. Hope it works for you.
