has any one with IC with ulcers also in the bladder ever gained weight with no apparent reason,but maybe because of a bad flare up? I have noticed that when I try to do ab work outs that it always brings on a bad flare up with my IC. This time it happened about a month ago,I was using an ab roller and the next day severe pain in my bladder that didnt ease up ,so I did no exersise for at least a month and I drank too much RC soda,which is a big no-no when you have IC.I knew it might not be a good thing but,this summer was SO hot and nothing is as good as an RC.It is my down fall,also lemon in my tea everyday.I have not been eating right in a long time because I dont get hungry,ever.I have no appetite at all,I lost it a long time ago.I dont know why,and I curious to know if any one else out there with this IC condition has had the same type of thing happen to them? why am I gaining weight rapidly when I barely eat anything? a week and a half ago i weighed 104,now I weigh 112.any comments or advice are welcome.thanks.esor15
