Interstitial Cystitis Association
Research about the effect of diet on interstitial cystitis, or IC, is limited. But, many people with IC report that certain foods appear to irritate their bladder. And, they find that changing what they eat and drink can help control IC symptoms and flare-ups.
What things can bother people with IC?
Research links a handful of foods and drinks to IC flare-ups, including:• Coffee,tea,soda,alcohol,
andcitrusjuicesincludingcranberryjuice.
• Foodsanddrinkswithartificialsweeteners(aspartameandsaccharin).
• Hotpeppersandspicyfood.
• Somefoodswithhighpotassiumlevels,likebananas,chocolate,andoranges.
