Irritable bladder and ibs

hi Ann

i used manpose and found it a waste of time, no change at all but give it a go it might be different for u

"Ann, my Chinese medicine doctor, who's also an MD, had me eat congee. I did it when I had my first attack of ulcerative colitis. Its very calm and soothing to the irritated colon. Its all I ate until the diarrhea subsided then I slowly, very slowly began introducing regular food.

Here is a recipe from Kosmic Kitchen:

{ Hot Pot of Congee}

1 cup rice

6-8 cups water

Add rice and water to a medium pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to low (the lowest your stove can go) for at least 2 hours. If time permits, consider cooking for 2-6 hours, since the longer the congee cooks, the more medicinal it becomes.

Recipe for 1 batch / 2-3 meals of congee<<

For a savory congee, I love adding a small handful of grated carrots, a little ghee or coconut oil, tamari, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and toasted nori strips on top."

If sweet is more your style, try adding in coconut milk, a couple chopped dates or raisins, cardamom and a drizzle of honey.
