IC Disease

Prelief is a popular method of treatment for IC Disease.  Prelief is a dietary supplement made of calcium glycerophosphate that is used to help neutralize acidic foods and drinks.  Basically, Prelief works by taking acid out of food.  One Prelief tablet will reduce the acid in a 6 oz. cup of coffee by approximately 95%.

Naturally, for IC Disease patients, acidic foods and drinks can cause IC symptoms to become worse.  In order for Prelief to be effective, it must be taken right before acidic foods or drinks are consumed. 

Prelief can be purchased in either tablets or in powder form.  If you use the tablets, you will need to take 2 tablets three times daily.  If you choose to use the powder form of Prelief, you will add two packets to each serving of acidic food or drink. 

Prelief can be purchased through a company called AkPharma, Inc.  To check out the prices and to order, click this link HERE.
