IC Awareness Month Series Part 1: Newly Diagnosed With Interstitial Cystitis? Start Here

September is IC Awareness Month, so I’m kicking off a four-part series covering what I want people with interstitial cystitis to know, especially if you’re newly diagnosed.

In Part 1, I’m sharing what I’d focus on if I were diagnosed with IC today, including:

• Understanding that different factors can contribute to IC symptoms
• Getting evaluated by a pelvic floor physical therapist
• Hydration and bowel health
• Approaching food without immediately cutting out everything on an IC diet list
• Understanding the role of the nervous system
• Being intentional with supplements
• Looking for patterns without making your bladder a full-time job

I’ve recovered from IC, and I’ve spent years helping others better understand what may be contributing to their symptoms. I want this series to give you more information, more options, and a clearer idea of where to go from here.
