Do any of you lovely individuals suffer from interstitial cystitis? If so what causes it to become worse pain wise when it comes to foods & drinks? What helps calm it?

You have to be careful what you eat and drink! No aspartame, no acidic foods! If I find out anymore I'll let you know, I have spells of that getting worse!

Yes, I notice that after drinking coffee, alcohol or acidic juice like OJ it bothers my bladder and urethra. Same with really spicy food. If I drink tons of water in order to urinate more often, helps calm it back down.
