What are the 4 C’s of Interstitial Cystitis?
The “four Cs” are common bladder irritants that can trigger Interstitial Cystitis (IC), a chronic condition that causes bladder pain. Common bladder irritants — known as the “Four Cs” — include:
carbonated beverages,
caffeine in all forms (including chocolate),
citrus products and
food containing high concentrations of Vitamin C.
Consider avoiding similar foods, such as tomatoes 🍅 , pickled foods 🥒 , alcohol 🍺 and spices 🧂 🌶️ .
Eliminating or reducing foods in your diet that irritate your bladder may help to relieve the discomfort of Interstitial Cystitis.
