Interesting link. I looked through the site & I might contact them for more info on their diagnostic procedures. A non-invasive test for IC would be great, but their results are either 'suggestive of IC' or 'not suggestive of IC.' So if it's former, does that mean you shouldn't get a cystoscopy to confirm the result - or that you should? If it's the latter, will you feel confident that you don't have it? In other words, will taking this test really change anything (other than make your wallet thinner)?

But having said that, I'm just as curious as you are - and maybe for the same reason: I want to avoid any invasive procedure while getting a clearer picture of my condition if at all possible. I think I'll e-mail them for more info & see how they respond.
