After being diagnosed with IC (interstitial cystitis), finding something to eat that I enjoy is becoming quite an ordeal. Everyone says, “just adjust your recipes”, but that can be easier said than done. Hence, I shall post recipes that are IC friendly, that have been adapted or have been found online to share with others. I hope you like the recipes as much as I do. :)

IC-Friendly Spinach Dip Recipe (No Mayo)
This recipe is designed to be gentler for those with Interstitial Cystitis (IC), avoiding common triggers like mayonnaise and limiting acidic ingredients. Customize this recipe to fit your specific sensitivities and enjoy! From Google AI.
IC-Friendly Spinach Dip Recipe (No Mayo)
Ingredients:
8 ounces frozen spinach, defrosted and drained
4 ounces softened cream cheese
2 cups plain Greek yogurt (if tolerated)
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt (if tolerated)
1 teaspoon onion powder (use with caution, as onions can be a trigger for some)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
8-ounce can drained and diced water chestnuts
Directions:
1. Defrost and drain the spinach, squeezing out excess liquid (I place the spinach in the cheesecloth or
towel, gather the edges, and twist tightly to squeeze out the water). Chop if desired.
2. Beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in Greek yogurt, salt, onion and garlic powder (if using), and parsley.
3. Stir in the chopped spinach and water chestnuts.
4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
5. Serve with IC-friendly accompaniments like crackers, bread, or vegetables.
