One of the hardest things to do when you first get diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis is to start following the IC Diet and learning to cook with new ingredients. Let's face it, adapting some recipes to the IC Diet is down right frustrating. While it's easy just to leave out potentially bladder iritating ingredients, the result may leave a lot to be desired in the flavor department.
Through much trial and error, we have put together this ingredient substitution list.
As is always the case with IC, this ingredient substitition list is just a guide. Everyone with Interstitial Cystitis is different. An ingredient that is bladder friendly to one person may set off a 4 alarm bladder flare in another.
