How Do Foods Irritate The Bladder? It is not unusual for a healthy bladder to become irritated by urine, such as in patients going through chemotherapy or with patients abusing ketamine. But, when you have an injured or wounded bladder, urine can reach deeper into the bladder wall where it can directly stimulate nerves, stimulate mast cells to release histamine and create profound irritation.

A big thanks to the IC-Network for naming my blog as best of 2011
BEST PATIENT BLOG of 2011
Tali Keteri tells it like it is. In her blog "Easy dismissal = Pure ignorance & Thoughtless Notions" she takes on those critics who don't believe that IC and other invisible conditions exist. A contribution to our IC Awareness Month campaign, Tali's words raised eyebrows, generated some controversy, perhaps offended a few readers and revealed the heartbreaking struggle of life with IC. She's young, outspoken and dares to tell her story with passion! If you like an essay with attitude, this might strike a chord for you! Read it now!
IC Awareness - A New Contest For Published IC Articles
IC patient Beverly Davenport is challenging her fellow patients to help raise awareness for IC and given the article about a New York City school teacher who is restricting bathroom access, there couldn't be a better time than the start of a new year. Her challenge to you? Get an article published about IC in your local newspaper in the next four months and you could win some great prizes! Here's Beverly's announcement!
CONTEST RULES:
You must get your local newspaper to publish an article about Interstitial Cystitis. THIS CANNOT BE IN THE LETTER TO THE EDITOR SECTION. This has to be an actual article, MUST be informational and also include the personal struggle you have dealt with. It DOES NOT need to include your name in the article. Also, remember we should never offer medical advice in an article such as this because we are not qualified. The reader should be urged to go see their doctor if they suspect they could have IC! The goal is to get readers to empathize with your struggle and become aware of what IC is. It should make them want to help the cause by donating and/or spreading the word. This could also be a help to someone who doesn't realize that they or a family member might have this illness. You might want to include a website or two that could give them more information or a place to donate. You could help change someone's life!! If your newspaper is interested in publishing your article and they would like to speak with someone to make sure all the facts are up to date and correct, expert interviews can be arranged!Â
