As most people with the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) inflammation is the triggering issue around the syndrome And a number of foods energetically will cause inflammation such as tomatoes, hot chiles, salsa, carbonated drinks, and coffee But what about animal foods? Where do they fall in the mix and why?
In the energy science world of nutrition a fatty acid is inflammatory End of story So any fatty meat such as domestic beef, lamb, and the worst offender pork are all on the No No list
Salt is inflammatory as a taste because energetically it carries the hot quality So fish whose meat has lived in saltwater for most of their lives will carry the hot quality due to the salt So saltwater fish such as salmon, cod, halibut, and so on will be problematic except for one exception below
Nondomesticated animal foods Following from what I just discussed nondomesticated meats such as buffalo, venison, moose, elk, and rabbit are excellent sources of animal protein due to the extremely low fat content
Egg whites While egg yolks can be used occasionally(1-2x/wk) egg whites can be used all the time by everyone The egg yolk has. you guessed it, a lot of fatty acids whereas the whites are pure protein You can buy egg whites in the grocery store in container cartons
Shrimp My fav of the list because shrimp even in salt water don’t take on the salt that other seafood do Plus there is a freshwater variety of shrimp that is available as well
Freshwater fish These fish are as good a source of omega 3 fatty acids as their seafood counterparts but without the salt So fish like pike, walleye, trout, bluegill and others are great choices Tillapia is a freshwater fish which is a bottom feeder with many sources coming from China and for several reasons I’m not a big fan of the fish but this is clearly an individual bias
