Wasn't sure where to post this question so I choose this section of the site.

My flare triggers are largely unknown. Which I hate. I often pray I could just figure out what to avoid.

It's horrible. Not helped by having them nearly every singe day for a week now. Maddening.

So one trigger for me appears to be when I drink too much fluid at a time, water, almond milk, rice milk, whatever. (I'm on ic diet, elmiron, all the usual stuff.) Anything more than maybe 4 ounces taken at once has me running to the bathroom every 15 minutes for an hour or more and voiding a lot of fluid each time I go. None of that "few drops" business. As if any fluid acts like a major diuretic with me. I don't know what to make of it.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Thank you and feel better!

Hi Hannah,

I have had times like that. Some people find that just sipping on their drinks during the day is better than drinking a larger amount.

Keep experimenting and you will eventually figure out what works for you,

Gentle hugs,

Julie

Julie is right. Many find that taking small drinks throughout the day is better.
