I posted this a couple weeks ago, but a patient brought up some great points about this today.
Go to the comments and read todays comment! I am really glad I posted, otherwise,
she would not have connected this for herself.

The other night a question was asked about potassium bc a patient had taken it that had been asymptomatic for four years and then started having symptoms again.

I could not thoroughly explain this the other night bc there were qyestions between, and I feel I did not address this completely.

But, I wanted to point out that cocnut oil is high in potassium and is very alkaline. Potassium specifically and over alkalinty creates problem with the bladder.

It reduces the body’s ability to keep microorganisms in check. Often people will come in having over alkalized their body’s over time and as a consequence created a condition optimal for IC.

The same is true for someone in treatment or post treatment. Just like going back to a high sugar diet or a high alcohol diet, turning to certain types of patterns can bring back your imbalances-this is true for anyone, not just someone having had IC. Life and health is about balance-if we do not have that, we do not have health!
