I was led to try zeolite for interstitial cystitis. Got a jar of it, and tried a small 'pinch' in water on an empty stomach when I first woke up. I waited an hour to eat. Within less than an hour my constant 'urgency' was gone for the first time since the home with mold in 2019. (At my worst, I got to 23 bathroom trips per day). The pain that I recognized as well as the lack of energy was improved. It even helped my IBS! (found a research study that can happen as well, but it didn't 'cure' the IBS). I have since increased the amount to around 3 pinches with water (then I have to wait a couple hours to eat). I notice I need to be consistent with taking this. I personally believe that I need to
*Also, I've been on a mold protocol diet and if I go off of it, I don't improve. Zeolite was one of the things listed to help with mold detox. Additionally, there needs to be a supplement for Candida: when my IC had gotten worse as I began trying to eat off plan and then became open to antibios since early 2023. The last UTI I refused to go to get antibios because they seemed to make everything insanely worse! I began taking GSE liquid, colloidal silver, and also corn silk tea (read about that on here). I drank that tea all day long for a week until I got the zeolite showed up. The prescription I read for mold recovery (which I have had others say they theorize their IC was caused by mold as well): a binder that works for you (turns out mine is zeolite and it's one of the top ones I find recommended); 2. rotate a Candida supplement: colloidal silver, GSE, berberine; 3. keep detox channels open; 4. make sure home is free of mold; and 5. mold protocol diet until everything is sufficiently detoxed.
So, here is the journey I went through:
First, I had chronic UTIs since 2019. I tried homeopathics for UTIs with only a little improvement. I dearly wished I'd done something (even antibios) for those at the time because I ended up with interstitial cystitis. For the next 4 years, I had chronic UTIs, constant urgency and pain. My energy levels were harmed from this as well (I thought it was my fibromyalgia).
End of 2023, I decided to try to add potatoes back in. I did okay the first time with a little bit. Afterwards, I had to go get saline and antibiotics due to a severe IC bout with dehydration.
Twice more, I tried to add in another food that wasn't on the mold protocol and had the same thing happen. I required far more antibios and it came back right away when I got hot over the summer.
Then, the miracle was in me trying the zeolite (I was always afraid of it tho I knew it was potent). So, I'm so grateful I did!
Zeolite and mold diet protocol. I got another mold exposure and it came back on strong again. Immediately, back to the zeolite and doing better. I'm gradually working up to more.
Lemon Water

For the interstitial Cystitus which can be very painful, try drinking lemon water for the initial pain and then later it will get rid of it. Make the lemon water as strong as possible, say 4 wedges squeezed into a glass of water making it tart. NO SUGAR!! I told a friend about this and she said when her father had bladder cancer he was told by the doctor to use this for pain. If you drink the juice of 1 lemon in an 8oz glass of water when you first get up with no food or coffee for 30 minutes there after, you can dissolve gallstones. It takes about a year consistently. You also need to take some digestive enzymes to aide in digestion. Then also take some Red Rice Yeast and CoQ10 to bring down cholesterol, which causes gall stones. Tumeric can be used for getting rid of melonomas ans this is substantiated by science on the Texas Anderson College Cancer Research Center site. I have used it and it has stopped the growth of some facial and arm skin cancers with amazing results. I wonder if you could make a paste of it and put it on the cancers...Hmmmm?

I'm interested in what you said about vulvodinia. Could you elaborate on what your symptoms were. I thought I had ic but I have no pain like a UTI. I do have pressure and an odd sensation that is quite annoying. Does this sound like what you experienced?
Thank you.

Thought I had a UTI…. I never ever take antibiotics or any other drugs. I had tried all kinds of things - wasn't getting better.
Finally went with antibiotics. Took one round didn't fix it. Thought I needed to take another round, started taking it, looked into my symptoms - read everything I could and came across this recipe.
I did this once in the entire thing was over!
Bada bing - Bada boom!
2 tablespoons distilled water
10 drops iodine (crow's Iodine 2%)
10 drops DMSO.
(All available on Amazon)
Took a glass eye dropper and lying horizontally applied this vaginally, held it in there like 10 minutes did it again, until all of the solution was gone.
And that was that. 👍😃
Feeling cautious a week later… I did it one more round - just to play it safe.
I have never experienced it again, nor had I ever experienced it before.
If you're suffering with this - I highly recommend giving this a try FIRST.
Best Wishes!

I have had IC for over 6 years. I finally found a cure, thanks be to God. I began using Angelica Archangelica. It has rebuilt my bladder lining wall. Every day the window of pain is getting smaller and smaller. I've been on it 9 weeks and I'm 90% healed! There are several people on the IC board on Facebook that are healing up too. Give it a shot and thank God, if you have bladder wall issues..this is the cure.

Baking Soda for Bladder Pain
Would Calc sulph also be helpful in healing intestinal lining / mucosal barrier, specially for those that have allergies due to leaky gut?
I'm looking to heal keratosis pilaris which manifests rough, bumpy and itchy skin of the arms, shoulders, etc. caused by inflammation and a buildup of keratin in the hair follicles. It's somehow related to hormones (worse after pregnancy) and diet (does away while fasting). I wonder if Calc sulph would address the allergy component.
Would you agree that everyone should take Calc sulph for a period of time to allow the body to overcome any deficiency?
Baking Soda for Bladder Pain
General use: Homeopathic cell minerals there are 12: Kali phos 12X Kali Sulph 6X Kali mur 12X key Calc sulph 6X all linings in all organs, glands, etc., need Calc sulph as it renders a microscopic coating on linings. It's protective.It compares to the shell of an egg that protects the albumin and yoke -it builds a microscopic coating around each cell. I use the homeopathic potencies as they penetrate the tissues due to its tiny sized pico particles. Think of it for other conditions like ulcers and allergies as sometimes the real cause is lack of Calc sulph in say, the nasal passages so it's susceptible to irritants, dust, pollen, etc. I cured my sneezing from dust that was present like when someone would vacuum now no issues. Think stomach lining and ulcers. Usually cures them. Mastic gum good too. Sore throat too. Some can't digest well and they are low in calcium sulphate as its full name is. The sulph. Kills bacteria. It truly is little understood an unsung hero. I researched it for many years. Don't be overwhelmed with so many of the cell minerals.Use in a format that fits your schedule. Bath: Dead Sea salts is best or sea salt 1/4 cup Baking soda USP half cup Epsom salts USP 1 cup Magnesium flakes 1/4 cup

For several years I suffered from interstitial cystitis brought on by a year's use of an anxiety supplement with low levels of an acid in it. The suffering was often intense, and initially I could only control it through diet, avoiding anything that was acid-forming in foods or beverages. I had a very narrow range of foods I could tolerate. The first thing that started to control it was an herbal formula with Marshmallow & Fenugreek as the main ingredients, with a little bit of fennel as well. But dietary lapses still brought the burning pain with a vengeance. To be clear, it was not a bladder infection as nothing for bladder infections made any difference at all, and I'm not prone to them.
I read an article mentioning Styrian Pumpkin Seed oil as a remedy for this. Desperate, I tried it and within about three weeks the cystitis was basically gone. I used one or two tablespoons/day of a high quality oil sold in a black glass bottle. I don't have to continue with the oil to keep symptoms away at all at this point, though if I eat very badly I can still have a rare reoccurrence of it. I've since discovered that about 1/2 tsp. of baking soda in water will eliminate a temporary flare up within about 10 minutes. My case wasn't as severe as some I've read about, but it was a daily concern, often awful, and I lived in fear of eating the wrong thing. Now, that is all history.

After taking it for about two months, I no longer had any burning whatsoever! It was great! Life was great! I thought it was because I was being really restrictive on my diet and thought that the marshmallow root wasn't doing anything -- so I stopped taking it. About two days after my last marshmallow root capsule my bladder started burning again, even though I was still being restrictive with my diet. I eat really bland foods; rice, mashed potatoes, yams, vegies, eggs, etc. and still my bladder was burning? The marshmallow root WAS doing good for my bladder and I, like an idiot, stopped taking it. I have immediately reordered my marshmallow root. I was taking a brand that had 960mg in each capsule and I was taking two a day and my bladder felt NORMAL.
I will never again be without my marshmallow root.

Baking Soda for Bladder Pain
Thanks for letting me clarify.
I don't think I am having pain from UTIs.
After give birth to 9 kids in 17 years, I had some serious pelvic prolapse problems. I tried a lot of things, including physical therapy but ultimately had surgery to get everything back in place. Well the trade off for fixing the prolapse was chronic burning bladder pain. :( At first I did think I was having constant UTI's but I think surgery left me with interstitial cystitis. The herbs helped a lot if I was really diligent. I still try to drink red raspberry leaf tea daily. But the baking soda taken a few times a day helps the most.
I do see that it is a popular remedy for UTI's here at Earth Clinic, so it probably has multiple benefits! I am prone to UTI's anyway...it will be interesting to see if regular baking soda use reduces the frequency of them!

Baking Soda for Bladder Pain
When people talk about "bladder pain", I assume this means a urinary tract infection or the start of one? I'm wondering if the baking soda actually stops the UTI in its tracts, I.e., completely gets rid of the infection? Can you please clarify? Thanks for all you contribute, too! :-)

Mornings, I take one Swanson brand, 250 mg capsule of the bioflavonoid, rutin from SwansonVitamins.com. It's a bottle of 250 capsules.
But it sounds like you have your pain under good control.

Red raspberry leaf tea helps if I drink at least 2 strong cups a day.
Marshmallow Root and Usa Urvi capsules help.
Quercetin and Bromelain help.
I was drinking the juice of a lemon for digestion and realized it was helping my bladder pain. I realized it was probably helping to make me more alkaline and perhaps that was what was helping.
Now I take some baking soda in water (1/4-1/2 teaspoon baking soda in 1/4-1/3 cup water) 2-3 times a day or as needed and rarely have pain.
I am thrilled to say the least. I hope others with this issue will have relief as well!

One that heats up when air touches it. Has round disks embedded in fabric that heat up. There is no medication in it. Just warmth which lasts for hours. I usually can only find the kind that goes on shoulders but I put it on my lower stomach and it's held in place with the two self stick ends and my own pants. Feels very comforting. Usually I just have to do one round of this but occasionally I've had to do two rounds in a day. This works every time and stays away until something triggers it again. Sometimes I use it right away before symptoms flare up if I know I'm going to be triggered such as after intimate relations. This works as a preventative in that situation.

This was a game changer for me! When I first started taking DE, I was in the middle of a bad flare up. It took a week to fully subside the inflammation but I could tell it was working. I take DE every morning. If I start to slack off, I begin to feel tingles in my bladder.
Don't miss a dose.
