Provided herein are kits, compositions, and methods for diagnosing and treating interstitial cystitis (IC) and/or interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) based on finding lower levels of certain bacteria in a subject's stool sample (e.g., and ). In certain embodiments, then present invention provides probiotic formulations containing live bacteria (e.g., from and ). 1. A method comprising:testing, or having tested a stool sample from a subject suspected of suffering from interstitial cystitis (IC) and/or interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), to determine the level of bacteria from at least one bacterial species from a bacterial genus,{'i': Odoribacter, Faecalibacterium, Colinsella, Eggerthella, Lactonifactor,', 'Roseburia., 'wherein said bacterial genus is selected from the group consisting of: and'}2Odoribacter splanchnicus, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Colinsella aerofaciens, Eggerthella sinensis, Lactonifactor longoviformis,Roseburia intestinalis.. The method of claim 1 , wherein said at least one species is selected from the group consisting of: and3Odoribacter splanchnicus, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Colinsella aerofaciens, Eggerthella sinensis, Lactonifactor longoviformis,Roseburia intestinalis.. The method of claim 1 , wherein said at least one species is at least two species selected from the group consisting of: and4Odoribacter splanchnicus, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Colinsella aerofaciens, Eggerthella sinensis, Lactonifactor longoviformis,Roseburia intestinalis.. The method of claim 1 , wherein said at least one species is at least five species selected from the group consisting of: and5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said stool sample is tested with a sequencing assay specific to ribosomal rRNA of said at least one species.6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said subject has symptoms of IDC and/or IC/BPS.78.-. (canceled)9Odoribacter, Faecalibacterium, Colinsella, Eggerthella, Lactonifactor,Roseburia.. A composition ...
