PRELIEFAcid Reducer Caplets Dietary Supplement, 300 Count

The only thing that helps with interstitial cystitis!Works great and nothing compares!

Love this product and have been using it for years. It helps to reduce the acidity of food and drinks.

These save me whenever I eat acidic food. If I don't use them when I eat acidic food, I feel like I have a UT,I and I don't. It is just my bladder irritation. Try these, they are great. Put some in your pocket when you go out to dinner, too, if you want a wine or spaghetti sauce. I love these.

These seem to really take care of my symptoms for interstitial cystitis. Cut my symptoms about 75% when I used them regularly.

Ever since my Urologist recommended this over 7 years ago, I’ve never stopped using Prelief! I eat a lot of spicy foods & anything like that or even red sauces like spaghetti or pizza sauces, will cause flareups… but this has really changed my life & I will always recommend it to anyone else suffering with IC like me!

Interstitial cystitis is now used as an umbrella term. And has absorbed overactive bladder syndrome, painful bladder syndrome,and several other diseases. It can mean many different things from person to person. When i was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, it was a rare disease only affecting women post pregnancy or childbirth and at least 35 years of age. I was none of those. I was 15 with no prior pregnancies or use of birth control. I had had chronic recurring utis for 10+ years, was no longer allowed to take antibiotics, and had been incontinent my whole life. I was in constant pain and always had blood in my urine. So i got the entire shirtstick. I have no bladder lining,constant ulcers and infections. I have a neurological disorder called fibromyaglia and early onset neuropathy and somewhere in the mix of that my nerves are kinda fried so i have constant muscle spasms, loss of muscle control, and all around weakening of the bladder muscle itself. My body cannot naturally regulate normal conditions nor sustain healthy bacteria and such. So for me, they go hand in hand. A flare up of my IC leads to and encourages a UTI because my urine is full of bad bacteria and my urine is so acidic it eats ulcers in the muscle which then get infected. I have been able to regulate with the use of prelief (i take 3 do uses a day with my regular medicine) Elmiron, and oxybutynin. I haven't had a flare up since i started taking them. My life has been changed dramatically. My only drawback is that taking it regularly has given me acid reflux and i can't drink water without getting heartburn anymore.

These tablets work very well when taken before meals. I have an acidic system and cannot eat or drink many things. I found I can now drink coffee again without having flare ups.

2 with each meal .. they work !
