YES! After suffering for years and years I was finally referred to an ob/gyn urologist. I get these weekly treatments where they inject a solution in to my bladder that essentially rebuilds the lining that has been eroded. That coupled with certain diet changes has REALLY made a difference. I still have occasional flare ups but nothing as bad as it used to be. In the past I would literally sleep on the toilet because getting up to pee every 15 minutes just wore me out. Diet-wise if you cut out caffiene, soda, carbonated beverages and acidic foods you will notice a change fairly quickly.

I've been diagnosed with IC. I suffered extreme pain for 3 years. After going along with the prescription meds for approx. 9 months without any relief I turned to a natural product. I began taking whole leaf aloe vera capsules. After taking them for about 3 months I felt relief. I would recommend contacting Desert Harvest for more information. This company has done studies on IC and research regarding aloe vera's healing properties. I take them every day and my pain is at least tolerable. Watching what I eat and drink also helps. Hopefully, some day there will be a miracle to help all of us with IC.
