Patient Perceived Outcomes of Treatments Used for Interstitial Cystitis, Jennifer R. Hill, Ginger Isom-Batz, Georgia Panagopoulos, Kay Zakariasen, Elizabeth Kavaler; Urology, January 2008 (Vol. 71, Issue 1, Pages 62-66)
“No surprise to many IC patients, the popular food acid reducer calcium glycerophosphate (Prelief) was one of the top 10 complementary and alternative (CAM) techniques considered helpful by ICA 2009 CAM Survey respondents. Three quarters of those who tried Prelief said it helped.” ICA Update Summer 2009 - Special Issue - Complementary and Alternative Medicines, page 17.
Also, see the following links from the American Urological Association Convention 2009 presentations:
Women with IC and men with CP/CPPS have trouble with the same foods and beverages, and Prelief helps both. Food Sensitivities Affect Men with CP/CPPS, Too, Amin S.
