A Comprehensive List of Foods


There are a variety of lists floating around the IC community which document some of the diverse IC food irritants. This list offers both included and excluded foods. However, this does not mean that you should stop eating everything on this list. Rather, consider this a list of potential triggers that have effected SOME other patients. Your goal is to determine IF these foods irritate you, perhaps by using an elimination diet! If you are like most, you'll probably be able to some of the foods on the excluded list.
