Interstitial cystitis is a form of chronic cystitis or inflammation of the bladder. It affects mostly women from in their twenties to forties. There is a constant urge to urinate, as the bladder feels full all the time. As the bladder fills, the pain increases. The pain involved may be excruciation, keeping the sufferer from daily activities. Some natural health authorities feel it may be the result of emotional issues transferring into physical disease.<\/p>\n
Diet is an important issue as caffeine and alcohol can aggravate the situation. It is wise to avoid tobacco, alcohol, coffee, black tea and sodas. MSM, SamE, NAC, and lecithin should be a part of your vitamin regimen. They all contribute sulphur. Other sulphur-rich foods are onions and garlic.<\/p>\n
