The Connection Between Interstitial Cystitis, Pelvic Pain, and Food Fear with Callie Krajcir, RD - The Bladder Dietician

By the end of this episode, you might be thinking, “Wait… are you really saying I can still drink coffee and alcohol without flaring my IC symptoms?” Yep, pelvic freaks, we’re being totally real. This Thursday, we’re joined by Callie Krajcir, AKA the Bladder Dietitian, who’s here to bust all the myths you’ve heard about IC and your diet (maybe even some myths your own doctor told you).

We chat with Callie to unpack how pelvic floor dysfunction, IC, and the nervous system are all connected. We’ll talk treatment for IC, why we’re done with the typical “IC diet,” how to handle food fear, and so much more. Plus, you might be surprised by our take on the best way to manage IC symptoms.
