Pasta
Pasta and noodles, the staple of so many cuisines and the back bone o countless recipes. ICers are fortunate in that we can eat most pasta noodles. If eggs are problem there are tons of brands that do not use them. You may want to look for organic pasta or even try making your own at home to get as few preservatives as possible. When it comes to pasta varieties that are straight from Italy as reputed as the very best. Plus they are often no more costly than their counterparts. The ingredient that ICers usually cannot tolerate in the pasta world, is tomatoes – their high acidity content can be a bladder-killer. But that still leaves many options available. Cream and veggie based sauce like basil pesto can be great choices. Or simply dress your pasta in a little fine quality olive oil fresh herbs, and a sprinkling of bladder friendly cheese. Asian noodle dishes can sometimes be spicy, or contain bladder irritants, but again you have a bevy of options. Try ingredients like ginger, carrots, peas, chicken broth, bamboo, lean meats, and sesame seeds. However you like you pasta, remember it’s a great source of energy – in fact it’s what many marathon and triathlon runners eat before the big race.
