Hi! I am newly diagnosed with IC and I was wondering if whole wheat pasta is a bad choice, or should I stick to white pasta?
Thanks, Leigh
Thanks, Leigh

As long as it doesn't have anything bad in it like citric acid or something I don't see why it would matter if you had whole wheat or regular white pasta. I've never made whole wheat pasta though because the kids would freak out on me, lolChristine
I have been diagnoised for 6 1/2 years now. I have taken a long break from the ICN but really miss helping out my fellow IC patients and want to get back into posting.
1st hydro 4/07 showed no visible signs of IC but tons of mast cells in all my biopsy samples which did prove IC.
2nd hydro 4/13/09 showed dark purple glomerulations and I had a capacity of 450 cc's. This hydro proved that my IC had progressed.
I have tried every oral medication as well as rescue instills and DMSO.
I have been lucky enough to see Dr Hanno, the top IC specialist in PA who has told me due to the fact that I have not responded to any "standard" treatments that I have a severe, end stage case of IC with a horrible quality of life (didn't have to tell me that last part!)

Thankyou so much! Whew, this all takes some getting used to. I am sooo lost, haha! I agree with the whole "kids" thing too. I have a 6 year old daughter, an 8 month old daughter and a PICKY husband. I have a feeling that the whole family is going to have to adjust, or I am going to be cooking different meals for everyone.June 2000 - passed first kidney stone while 4 months pregnant with 1st daughter

It just depends on what we're eating but most nights I can eat what they are, or like tonight, they had spaghetti w/ sauce and I saute up some mushrooms and put those on my spaghetti w/ some feta cheese so it doesn't really take any longer than the dinner I'm already making.Christine
