Dear Dr. Burks,
Two weeks ago, I visited a urologist with symptoms of bladder irritation (urgency, general discomfort). He performed the potassium test, and it was negative. (I tested negative for UTI with my gyno.) He's not ruled out IC and put me on a short list of dietary restrictions (no caffeine, no spicy foods, no alcohol, etc.), as well as a baking soda solution both morning and evening.
