Nice break while it lasted...

I posted on 7/22 about being in remission for about one month and how GOOD I felt. Well....IC is back!

Pain, pressure and cramping, getting up 4 times a night are all back. I may have caused it all myself. I took a chance with my diet :tsk: and ate a "BLT" my favorite sandwich (haven't had one in a year) and then thought I would try a "Decaf Coffee Frapacino" from Starbucks (yummy). This is the "riskiest" I have ever been with my diet since being dx'd with IC. Could this be enough to put me back into a flare? If this is what caused my flare to come back, I will never ever, ever take chances with my diet. :shake:

It is soooo encouraging to know remission really can happen! It was wonderful while it lasted and I hope everyone experiences remission. :smile fai

Those two "cheats" could have put you back into flare territory, unfortunately... however, don't beat yourself up. We all do it sometimes; we're all human :)

I'm sorry you're flaring now, and I'm hoping it'll be a quickie so you can get back to feeling great. Drink lots of water (maybe some with baking soda in it, too) to flush out all the offending foodstuffs, and hopefully you won't suffer too long :)

Don't beat yourself up. It's easy to slip, especially when feeling good. I guess it's how we learn. :)

Warm healing thoughts,
Donna

If it was me early on and I cheated with either of those foods, I would have flared. :( But as others have said, we ALL have done it, and some of us many many times.... (I did it a bunch and was always kicking myself after....) It is how we learn what we can eat and what we can't.

It is ok. I know, remission is must easier to believe onece you experience it!

Hope your flare ends soon.

I thought when my pain went away so did the IC, and I could just throw caution to the wind...Huh! :loco: So much for BLT's and Frapacinos...lessen learned!

Stupid tomato, little coffee bean = big mistake! :biglaugh:

Thanks for the replies!

Tilly,
Hope you're feeling better soon. As the others have said, we all give in to temptation at some point!
