Maybe there's something in the IC diet you're allergic to? You might try an elimination diet to find out. Or, there could have been other factors the day(s) you tried it, such as stress, exercise, driving etc....

It's absolutely possible that some of the foods and drinks on the usually okay list are a problem for you. I know I can't tolerate garlic, but most ICers can. You really need to stick with the diet for at least a month before you are apt to see any difference.
It's also possible that the tap water in your area could be a problem. You might try drinking just bottled spring water (with no additives) for a while to see if you improve. And be sure to drink at least six cups of water every day. You may urinate more frequently at first, but as the urine becomes less concentrated, you may have less frequency.
