We have successfully treated many IC cases at the Health and Vitality Center.  Patients are placed on an allergy-elimination diet.  We suggest the elimination of caffeine, alcohol, gluten, soy, corn, dairy products, food additives, citrus fruits, acidic foods, and other specific allergens.  Heavy metal detox and IV chelation have also been major in treating IC. We have had mixed reviews on Myers’ and IV Vitality drips. Some patients can tolerate Vitamin C and B Vitamins and some have experienced more irritability in their bladder.

Gut function is also optimized through a gut permeability test and a complete diagnostic stool analysis. Proper nutrients and probiotics are prescribed to heal the intestinal lining and enhance the gut flora.  Healing the gut helps reduce food allergies and, in turn, reduces the sensitivity of the bladder.
