Oh yay!!! You’re back!! I’m so excited to try another new recipe! I love this blog and I’m cooking from it all the time. This has been such a blessing to me. Just wanted to let you know. (I got my IC diagnosis October 2017. Your blog has been so helpful in navigating my new normal. Also, a few months after my diagnosis I ended up breaking a leg and having surgery, and when people wanted to bring food, I was able to just send them here instead of trying to explain all my restrictions to them. It really was SO helpful! Plus I know several of those non-ICers who helped us loved the recipes they tried and have used them with their own families, too.)
ReplyDeleteThank you Monique!! It means so much to me that this helps my fellow IC family! You have made my week :)
ReplyDeleteHi Niki. I’m recently diagnosed with IC. I also have Stage IV Endometriosis with numerous past surgeries. I also have IBS. I’ve been reading everything that I can on IC diet. I’m also a registered nurse. Everything I read says no spices especially garlic and onion. I’ve been looking at your recipes and see that use quite a bit of garlic powder, onion powder, garlic, onions and peppers. Don’t you find these ingredients irritating? I am very afraid to bring on a pain flare by trying some of your recipes. Thank you. I appreciate any help or guidance that you can offer someone like me.
ReplyDeleteHey, it’s not Niki responding, but maybe I can help? I have pretty bad IC, and I just leave out the onion and also the pepper. My understanding is that garlic can actually be helpful, and I use it often. In fact, the ichelp.org food list lists garlic as one of the soothing foods recommended as soothing during a flare. Hope that helps.
Delete@itismeann - I’ve had IC for 5-6 years now. I’m also a nurse. I’ve had to navigate my way through IC as you are also doing For me, I’ve found I can’t tolerate onions of any kind except the little green onions or spring green onions. I can tolerate fresh garlic but none of the bottled stuff because of the citric acid that’s added as a preservative. Amazingly, I can tolerate leeks well. Supposedly the stuff in onions that burns your eyes when you slice it is what causes our bladders so much pain. I have found that leeks don’t have this. If what little they do have it is completely broken down from the heat as it cooks. I have also found that deep fried very crispy onions I can tolerate. Something about frying onions causes the burning irritant to break down. I hope this helps.
DeleteCan someone explain check for “problem” ingredients? I have the IC list but not sure outside that list what “problem ingredients would mean. So happy Niki is posting again. This blog is so helpful!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard, but I think for me anything related to soy. Soy lecithin is in most everything, enjoy life brand makes allergy free foods, I even can eat their chocolate chips. I have the same question about bought chicken broth they all seem to bother me.

ReplyDeleteNiki, I came across your blog quite by accident, but very serendipitous. I was diagnosed in August of 2023 with IC. At 62, I'm so blessed to have lived so long without IC, and really pray for those who are younger with the diagnosis. I have so much more food knowledge than I would have had when I was younger. I was looking for an IC friendly slow cooker chicken recipe, b/c I live in AZ and it's still 102 outside at 8:30 p.m., using the oven isn't an option most days, even in the mornings. Albertson's had their boneless skinless chicken breasts on sale last week for $1.97/lb. for their family size packages. I froze the huge breasts individually, and then cut them either in half or sliced them into tenders, and have them in my freezer. So now, I'm looking for recipes that my picky husband will like, and that I can eat! So glad I came across your blog! I notice that you use onion powder, I have wondered about it, but I haven't had the courage to try it in anything yet. I've noticed that cooked onion (when I accidentally ate one at a restaurant) didn't bother me, but haven't totally eliminated it, b/c I didn't have anything with them the next few days to try more. But I'm thinking that I will try a little onion powder cooked in this. It would be nice to add that to my eliminated list!
