If fruits are the most limited area of the IC diet than vegetables apply make up for the shortcomings of fruit. While one of the most notorious IC foods is a vegetable – tomatoes – most others are easily tolerated. Avoid chillies though; as well some people are bothered by soy-beans, pickles (due to the vinegars and pickling spices), raw onions, and lima beans. Work with frozen veggies if your favs are out of season and have fun. Make dishes with squashes, carrots, peas, broccoli, fennel, corn, mushrooms, bell peppers, and tons of other wonderful vegetables. Potatoes are one of those foods that just about everyone seems to love. Luckily they are bladder friendly, because their range of uses is almost limitless! To mix things up try yams, sweet potatoes or a range of different varieties and colours (did you know there are even blue potatoes). Incorporate potatoes into your soups, salads, frittatas, and even with breakfast. The humble spud is an IC favourite Whether elaborate or simple, try to incorporate lots of vegetables into your diet; they are awesome sources of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals.
