There is no update really...I'm back to eating what ever I want with no change in my symptoms...My recovery is still a solid 95% to at times 99%...with slight flares here and there after BM or during times of stress...nothing that stops me from enjoying my life to it's fullest
Do I think I have some food sensitivities...yes...I think gluten could be, but I have never had the bad symptoms explained here like what webslave gets when he would eat wheat and gluten...

I encourage anxiety prone UCPPS people to consider L-Theanine Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.
Ok, same goes for me, I don´t have any bowel issues from eating wheat or gluten, so I don´t seem allergic to it. But maybe it can effect you in different ways, something I might try exclude in the future.
