                        I have been on Elmiron for 6 months and along with diet am doing much better.  Took me 18 months to convince urologist that i had ic.  So bad with pain and frequency at times i could not leave the house for more than thirty minutes unless a bathroom was nearby.  Stay away from citrus juices, chocolate, caffine, tomatoes and citrus fruits and anything with cranberries.  Ask your Dr for the diet for ic by ICA
