Food-Caused Bladder Discomfort
Interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as painful bladder syndrome (PBS), is a condition that results in recurring discomfort or pain in the bladder and the surrounding pelvic region. The symptoms can vary greatly among individuals and even for the same person at different times; they include an urgent need to urinate, a frequent need to urinate and, for some, pelvic pressure and/or pain. In many cases, these symptoms are severe and are made worse by eating certain foods.
What foods can bother people with IC/PBS? - What are ‘Trigger Foods’?
Some foods, almost all of them acidic or spicy, produce bladder symptoms, as reported by many people with IC/PBS; some experts term these foods ‘trigger foods.’ They include coffee, fruits and juices, juice drinks, tomato sauce, wine and a great many others of nutritional importance, whose acidity is often not immediately obvious until the effects are felt.

Now here is some really good news: there is help available to combat these food-caused symptoms. It's Prelief® Dietary Supplement that takes the acid out of foods. Prelief is available in tablet form or in a powder shaker. You can take the tablets before eating the trigger food or simply sprinkle Prelief on your food, to make the food milder (less acidic), without affecting the characteristic taste of the foods you love.
Prelief is an amazingly simple and safe alternative to drugs. How does Prelief work? By acting on the food instead of the body. Is this a sensible way to deal with a problem in foods? Absolutely yes!; consider it the same principle as taking the caffeine out of coffee or the lactose out of milk. In fact, AkPharma invented both Lactaid® Milk and Beano®, so you know we understand problem foods!
But don’t take just our word for it: recent research links acid food sensitivities to IC/PBS flare-ups and confirms the beneficial effects of taking Prelief with trigger or provocative foods. Want real and convincing proof? Recent studies / surveys can be accessed with the latest health professional information concerning the beneficial uses of Prelief with foods in IC/PBS: Click Here:
The studies and consensus are clear: Where IC/PBS symptoms are triggered by acid foods, studies confirm that nothing works on those foods as well as Prelief and nothing is as satisfactory as no-side-effects, non-drug Prelief!
Yes, Prelief takes the acid out of food. Prelief takes the acid out of favorite foods that have acid you aren’t even aware of, like chocolate, baked beans, sherbets, yogurt and too many to even name. Try Prelief for a week or two and see if there isn’t a difference you can feel.
How do you use Prelief? Simply take one or two Prelief tablets when you eat acidic foods or sprinkle Prelief powder in or on those foods. It’s that simple and easy.
