I have recently been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis and i was wondering what the typical diet plan is for food and things to drink and snack on?

IC: you should avoid Vitamin C, caffeine, acidic foods such as fruits and juices, alcohol, food high in potassium (bananas and yams however have been shown to be bladder soothing), chocolate and other histamine containing foods such as red wine, artificial sweeteners especially those with aspartame, vitamin B6. You should see a dietician for a list of foods you can eat.

Cystitis diet: Eliminate bladder irritants -- caffeine, carbonated sodas, citrus, chocolate, pickled foods, alcohol, spices, tomatoes, and artificial sweeteners. Empty bladder by the clock. Frequently. Do not smoke. Avoid secondary smoke. Wear looser clothing. Reduce emotional stress. Exercise. Stretch abd and waist and groin. Acupuncture may help. Avoid uti. Drink 3 liter/d. Incline diet to alkaline.
