Current studies estimate that 2.7% to 6.5% of women in the United States have symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The broad range in prevalence depends on whether a high-sensitivity definition (6.53%) is used versus a highly specific definition (2.7%)
And that is really an underestimate, because most people complaining of painful, urinary discomfort, urgency, and frequent urination; in the absence of an infection are just brushed off by their health care provider and sent home with no solutions. Meanwhile they suffer, with constant urging to urinate and pain sometimes to the point that urinating feels like peeing chards of glass. It is not something that is over in a few days. This is a chronic and intermittent condition In previous episodes of the one thing podcast we spoke about IC and got a nice view of the microbial and also biofilm component; however there was more to the story that I wanted to explore. So I reached out to Dr. Mandy LaGrega who is known as the IC healer. I was intrigued by her work in this area especially when it comes to her knowledge of the Oxalate component of IC/PBS and her understanding of the gut, fungal, mycotoxin, and psychoemotional role of these disorders. We had a great conversation on this episode about how IC/PBS develops, how oxalates play a role, the risk factors for IC/PBS, and overall approaches to healing this disorder from a nutritional approach. Enjoy!
