This is something I hear from time to time with people who come to see me. They will say that no matter what they eat, their bladder stays the same, it makes no difference.
The reasons behind the diet process are many and symptoms are a big one, but, are only one. If you should decide the diet makes no real difference and decide to eat or drink things that you are not supposed to, it will inhibit and depending on how far you go with it negate the rest of what you are doing. That is not my rule, it is the body that senses the difference.
I also want it to be understood, I do not have some secret process in my head that I do not share with others regarding how this is supposed to go. It is truly a very different process for each person who walks along this path. So, if we dont speak for long periods and you have kept your protocol the same and are of the opinion that this is not working because nothing has changed, this is not reasonable.
This is a process, hard work that involves a lot of tencactiy, discipline, and consistency. It involves strict adherence to the diet, it involes regular follow-ups so we can go through all of the basic Q and A s to discern what the next step is.
For many, a process like this one makes no sense I am sure, while for others, it makes all the sense in the world. If it does make sense, like anything, you should focus on doing it exclusively. If it doesn't and you feel like you need to include other therapies into your treatment, then it is probably not for you.
It isn't fair that someone who is in her late 30's has to wait to get pregnant, or that a young person can't enjoy going out and having casual drinks with friends, or that couples can't have intercourse because it is just too painful. Non of this is fair at all, but, like anything in life that is difficult, one must find her or his way through it. I did not make up these things that I tell my patients to make life more difficult, I simply observed the reactions that people were having to these substances and have imparted those observations through the years. This is a process, and it is not an easy one, and, it only works if you do it completely.
