Re: I am so with you both!       05/04/08 09:16 AM Edit Reply Quote Sharon Mello Reged: 08/23/04 Posts: 28 Loc: 25 miles from Yosemite National Park in Ca. Laura - I also was dx'd w/IC and the doc couldn't believe I used Jamaica (pronounced Ha-mike-ah) which is available in Mexican grocery stores in produce section in plastic bags. It's a particular hibiscus flower from Mexico that the native people use for all kinds of medicinal reasons. they make a tea w/it... 1 cup Jamaica (don't get this confused with Jicama, the vegetable), 30 cups water and sweetened to taste w/whatever you can tolerate. Put Jamaica in cheesecloth and tie so you don't have to strain the tea. Drink hot or cold. This cured my IC. Of course, it comes back if I get a bladder infection, but the tea usually makes the cramps and having to pee all the time go away. The doctor thought I was nuts when I brought him the recipe and the cup of Jamaica. Guess he'd rather do all those disgusting tests and make lots of money doing it!!! Sorry if I sound down on docs, but right now I am. Hope this helps. Sharon Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
