Interstitial Cystitis Diet for Women

Interstitial cystitis (IC) or bladder pain syndrome (BPS) is a long-term health problem with the bladder. It is a pain and pressure in the area around the bladder. Some people have symptoms for a long time, more than 6 weeks without infection or any other obvious cause.

The symptoms vary in how bad they are. Some people''s symptoms come and go, while for others they stay the same. IC/BPS is not an infection, but it can feel like a bladder infection. When IC/BPS gets bad, it can affect your life and the lives of those you care about. Some people with IC/BPS also have health problems like IBS, fibromyalgia, and other pain syndromes.

There is no one perfect diet for IC/BPS, but there are certain foods and drinks that can trigger symptoms.
