IC Disease

I have discussed many treatment regimens for IC Disease on this blog but I have never covered any information on naturopathic treatments.  I personally have never tried any naturopathic treatments, nor have I talked to my urologist about these types of treatments so the information I provide in this series is strictly what I have found through research.  So as you have heard me say repeatedly on here - NEVER TRY ANY TREATMENT WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING A PHYSICIAN!

The first naturopathic treatment I read about was specific supplements.  These include:

• Calcium citrate
• Bromelain

Calcium citrate is supposed to alkalinizes urine, causing less irritation to the bladder and causing less burning upon urination.  Bromelain provides anti-inflammatory action and IC patients don’t want to take it with food.

Part 2 tomorrow will cover herbal treatments.
