2012 ICN Food List - Interstitial Cystitis Network

2012 ICN Food ListFor Interstitial Cystitis, Bladder Pain Syndrome, Overactive BladderInterstitial Cystitis Network - http://www.ic-network.com

Understanding the IC Diet2012 Interstitial Cystitis Network Food List - Page 2Table 1 - Most Bothersome Foods*If you are newly diagnosed and your bladder symptoms are raging, youmay be in so much discomfort that you simply can’t tell if foods irritateyour bladder. Diet modification is a critical first step in gaining controlover your symptoms. Ask yourself “would you pour coffee on an openwound on your hand?” The answer, of course, is “no.” Then how canyou justify pouring acid on a wound in your bladder?It’s time to take charge of your diet to protect and soothe your bladder.For the next three to six months, you should eliminate the most commonbladder irritating foods and you’ll also need to do quite a bit ofexperimentation as you create your own, personalized food list. We’veincluded two lists to help you on your journey.In the tables on this page, you’ll see what research studies haveidentified as the “more bothersome” and “less bothersome” foods for ICpatients. The more bothersome foods (Table 1) come as no surprise andare the “no brainers” that you’ll want to remove immediately from yourdiet. In Table 2, you will find foods which IC patients were generally ableto enjoy without irritating their bladders provided, of course, that youdon’t add risk foods to them (i.e. hot spicy sauces).The 2012 ICN Food List is much more comprehensive and is based onboth research studies and patient experiences. It will allow you to find ICfriendly versions of some of your favorite foods.“Bladder Friendly Foods” are those which most patients tolerate well.These are the foods and beverages we suggest that you consume whenyou are having bladder discomfort. They rarely trigger bladder irritation.“Foods Worth Trying Cautiously” are generally safe though they mayirritate more sensitive bladders. They should be tried in small quantitiesfirst.“Foods to Avoid” are those well known for triggering bladderdiscomfort.Foods with a (+) sign can be soothing during an IC flare.Coffee (caffeinated)Coffee (decaffeinated)Tea (caffeinated)Cola carbonated beverageNon-cola carbonated beverageDiet carbonated beverageCaffeine-free carbonatedbeverageBeerRed WineWhite WineChampagneGrapefruitLemonOrangePineappleCranberry juiceGrapefruit juiceTable 2 - Least Bothersome Foods*WaterMilk, low-fatMilk, wholeBananasBlueberriesHoneydew melonPearsRaisinsWatermelonBroccoliBrussels SproutsCabbageCarrotsCauliflowerCeleryCucumberMushroomsPeasRadishesOrange juicePineapple juice TomatoTomato productsHot peppersSpicy foodsChiliHorseradishVinegarMonosodium glutamate(MSG)NutraSweetSweet ʼN LowEqual (sweetener)SaccharinMexican foodThai foodIndian foodSquashZucchiniWhite potatoesSweet potatoes/yamsChickenEggsTurkeyBeefPorkLambShrimpTuna fishSalmonOatRicePretzelsPopcorn*Friedlander J. et al.
