I have been having chronic bladder pain not related to a UTI for about 4 months now (diagnosed IC)and also have chronic sinusitis which was gone for a year while I did keto but came back with carbs…I have been doing regular 3 day fasts with water only over the past couple months and my bladder feels better afterward…wondering if fasting longer will do the trick…Please let me know if you have had success with these conditions.
I have IC, been water fasting for about a year now, and all I can say is it does not cure it. It does, however, give you the perfect platform to figure out what the triggers are. Avoid anything like Apple cider vinegar, coffee, or other acidic things on a water fast, it’s like 100x worse! I also found out that my bladder likes to make crystals on extended fasts. I don’t know if this is an IC thing, but it might be, so keep that in mind. It DOES clear up your sinuses. After a week you’ll be surprised how much better you feel! Also, weird tip from one IC sufferer to another– glucosamine. It’s weird, but it does work.
