If your primary care physician isn't able to figure it out, I would make an appt. with a urologist. I wouldn't let them diagnose you with IC too quickly, or with the PUFF test alone. It seems to be the disease of the new millenium. Try eliminating acidic foods, caffeine, sodas and drink lots of water.

Good Luck
