I wanted to let you know that I do have IC. I have had IBS for years, but just found out 2 years ago that I have IC. I tried eliminating trigger foods from my diet first and found that sourdough bread and too much tomato sauce were causing all my symptoms. After eliminating them from my diet, I gradually got off the Detrol LA and am doing fine with no medication. That is, unless I try to eat sourdough bread or too many tomatoes and then my symptoms return. I always kept sourdough bread for whenever I had an IBS flare up, so now I keep Italian and French bread. You wouldn't think those two foods (sourdough bread and tomatoes) would cause so much pressure, pain and urinating 20-30 times a day, but they sure were. I'm so thankful to have such a caring urologist that gave me the food list of different foods that trigger IC and the one food that I always ate to help with IBS was causing IC.
