Re: To the HCL Crew

Cool to hear. I was suppose to up it to 5 today, but since my lunch was roasted potatos and veggies, I decided not to. Plus my IC flare has me searching for a cause. I believe it may be low alkalizers. I dropped my calcium to about 800mg cause things were getting normalized, but I believe the daily MSM, with the fizzy kombucha tea, and peppermint oil (which actually can cause some warming for me), and now the extra HCl just has my little bladder freaking! So, I might have my 5 HCl at dinner if I eat fish, but I have dropped my MSM, will not have any kombucha this weekend, and will up my calcium by about 500mg this weekend in hopes of ending the pain. I will try to keep trying the HCl over the weekend, but may have to bail for a while if my IC doesn't improve. I know I need my alkalizers. Just got my favorite brand of mag in, and am looking forward to increasing that as well.

The bad thing about IC is that anything can trigger it, but it is so hard to figure out exactly what did it. So you have to start pitching all kinds of stuff. I already did the Elimination Diet for my gluten/dairy sensitivity, I just don't have it in me right now to test for what is triggering my IC.
