I notice apple juice seems to be helpful for me. Doing a little reading I found both apples and fava beans are a source from which quercetin can and is derived.
I hope their is a solid connection since apple juice is a cheap natural source of help.
Anyone else notice this?

I haven't noticed this directly but I do juice 2 apples almost daily and my symptoms have been better. I also started a really strong prostate formula from dr. Shultze. Its saw palmetto and other known stuff but it is pure extract and not like taking that powdered low dose stuff found in stores. I will monitor my symptoms next time I have an attach. Masturbation is a major trigger for me. Of course I have an hour and 45 minute commute to work each way which isn't helping...

I read it somewhere that someone found Apple Cider helped. I think it was on one of the IC forum.

This is interesting. When my chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome started, I was eating only shredded wheat and apples for breakfast and lunch (was on a diet.) So now I avoid both. I guess my fears are unfounded.
This is not medical advice, and I am NOT a doctor of medicine or a related field.
* Age:33 Onset: February 2004.
* 99.9% IMPROVEMENT in 2.5 Years with the first year being the really hard part
* Current Symptoms: Mild irritation of perineal muscles on occasion. Relieved for days at a time by a specific stretch (see below).
* Initial Symptoms: Terrible penile, urethral, rectal, and perineal burning/aching with addition afferent sensations.
* Current Treatments: Deep stretching of the legs and pelvis. Most effective: Deep psoas and levitar ani stretch using the first phase of the "pigeon pose" from Yoga. When a deep pulling is felt in the middle of the pelvis next to the upper rectum, symptoms are completely alleviated for several days.
* Past Treatments Hyperprotection of the perineum for 1.7 years, Walking, Rectal biofeedback, Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol, Conditioned deep relaxation practice, Men's Multi-Vitamin and an Extra B-complex pill, all seemed to help.
