<strong>Interstitial</strong> <strong>Cystitis</strong><br />

A diagnosis of IC can be very scary. Why? Because doctors often won’t take the time to explain it and, frankly, we shouldn’t expect<br />

them to spend hours with us going over the basics of IC. This is why the four books below are so important. Hands down, these are<br />

the best resources available on the market today on IC. Be wary of some of the self-published books available on the web. Most aren’t<br />

endorsed or supported by any IC organization around the world.<br />

<strong>Interstitial</strong> <strong>Cystitis</strong> Survival Guide - Robert Moldwin MD<br />

Covers all therapies, pain control and much more. This is the #1 book on IC that you should bring to every doctors<br />

appointment. Excellent to share with family and friends who are struggling to understand IC.<br />

IC Alternative Supplements<br />

The use of alternatives for IC has been around for decades. Well-researched alternatives, however, have only been available for the<br />

past two years. We've chosen to carry the alternatives that have research based evidence that show effectiveness in reducing<br />

symptoms. To help you understand how each may work, we've featured various researchers in our guest lectures. Before you decide<br />

Pain Management & Stress Reduction<br />

Pain is daunting. IC patients often forget that pain control begins at home and with early recognition. If you’re struggling with pain,<br />

Self Care<br />

Admit it! You probably don’t tell your family that you’re in pain. You put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. For some reason,<br />

you feel that if you ask for help, you aren’t a good parent or spouse. Wrong! We all have to take care of ourselves. From sleep<br />

deprivation to anger management, IC patients really struggle. Worse, we can take our anger and stress out on our family. Not good!<br />

exercise program that uses the gentle strengthening and stretching of yoga.<br />

some other products which may be helpful, including the OTC version of pyridium.<br />

Foods - IC Friendly Fruit Products<br />

Why didn't we think of this earlier??? IC patients LOVE fruit but our sensitive bladders sure don't. For some of us, even simple fruits<br />

Beverages – IC Friendly Fruit Juices<br />

We've searched high and low for some bladder friendly fruit juices and finally found two which we think are worth trying. Just<br />

remember that all bladders are different. If you're in a flare, it's probably not a good idea to have any strong juices. We suggest that<br />

you try just a small amount first... or, at the very least, try diluting it. Good luck!<br />

NEW! Wyman’s Blueberry Juice Pack – A 100% juice blend of apple and wild blueberry juice<br />

concentrates with natural flavors and vitamin C. INGREDIENTS: wild blueberry, grape, and apple juices from<br />

Beverages – IC Friendly Low Acid Teas<br />

With all the hype about green tea, you’d think that it would be bladder friendly. It’s not. It’s so acidic that it can irritate the bladder<br />

badly. The same is true for most herbal teas. All it takes is one herb (such as rose hips) in a tea bag to be metabolized as an acid and<br />

the bladder can be irritated. Even one cup of irritating tea a day can cause problems. But, we’ve found several herbal teas that are<br />

more IC friendly than many others. They might be worth trying. Don’t forget, if you’re in a flare and/or struggling with pain, the best<br />

hot beverage of all is just hot water and honey!<br />

Beverages – IC Friendly Low Acid & Herbal Coffees<br />

One of the hardest parts of the IC diet is avoiding those foods that are high in acid. But, if you're addicted to coffee, this can be really<br />

hard to stop. Luckily, two companies are making low acid coffees that are more IC friendly. Euromild uses a cold brewing process to<br />

create a 100% Columbian low acid coffee. Teeccino makes an herbal coffee that patients are raving about. Use with coffee makers!<br />

Euromild 100% Columbian<br />

100% Naturally Reduced Acid Coffee made from Columbian Beans. This Canadian company uses an acid reducing technique to create a one of a kind 'bladder friendly'<br />

coffee. Euromild was brought to the ICN by a patient who had tried it and found it mild enough for her bladder. We thought that we'd share it with you.<br />

Audiotapes and CD’s<br />

During my first (and worst) year as an IC patient, I struggled terribly with anxiety and pain. Then, one day, I found some awesome<br />

relaxation and pain control tapes, Barry Konicov's 'Potentials Unlimited' series. Barry's voice is soothing, calming and comforting. Best<br />

of all, there are great titles to help us during specific times of need. If you're struggling with pelvic floor muscle tension, for example,<br />

the 'Relaxation' tape (and/or CD) is perfect. If you're struggling with pain, then try the 'Pain Control' tape. If you're worried about<br />

having a cystoscopy, then 'Operations Before and After' is a gem!<br />

Restroom Items<br />

One of the most frustrating part of the IC experience is the pain or discomfort that patients feel when 'holding it.' For some patients,<br />

the pain can be excruciating and their need for a restroom desperate. It is important to fight the often self-imposed isolation of IC by<br />

living your life, including going out. These products can take the fear out of not finding a restroom!<br />

between 100-175, order the 3” soft. If you weigh 175-250 pounds, order the 2” firm. Over 250? Order the 3” firm. We've sold<br />
