Has anyone else had a reaction to broccoli? I had some with my diiner last night, but I don't normally eat it (because it gives me gas), but I've been worried about getting enough calcium lately, so I bought it and added it to things I've always been able to tolerate (carrots, chicken, and zucchini). Afterwards I had a slight reaction to something, and I think it might have been the broccoli. Anyone else had something similar? Thanks.

I haven't had any problem with broccoli either, other than the gas.
But, how did you cook your chicken?

I love broccoli, but I rarely cook it because my husband totally hates it and the smell of it cooking. But I do eat it every chance I get and it's never been a problem for me.

IC Diet and Oxalate foods like broccoli
I have found the need to cross check the IC diet with one of low oxalte foods. Broccoli is considered a medium oxalate food.
The University of Pittsburgh Medcial Center has information about foods and oxalates. It has really made a difference in reducing my flare-ups.Comment
