  3. All of these have foods I've been told were too acidic to eat with IC. 🤔 Sugar? Honey? Lemon zest? Garlic?

    1. Check the recommended IC food list. Remember, everyone is different and some people can handle some foods/beverages better than others. Plus, over time your tolerances can change. I can't eat bananas any more. https://www.ic-network.com/downloads/2012icnfoodlist.pdf

    2. Thanks again, nice to have community. I too cannot eat bananas. I can have honey, but excessive sugar bothers, though its so called approved. Hopefully with therapies, this will improve. I'm just learning. Thanks for all your comments, everyone!
