Does anyone know if we can eat asparagus, or does it cause flares?

I don't know about others, but I have it occasionally with no problem. I get hungry for it about twice a year.

Asparagus KILLS me! AND I mean puts me over in TEARS. Its one of my worst flare foods.
I guess everyone is different, but good luck with it! I sure do love asparagus and miss it very much.

Asparagus does go right into your pee, so at least if you try it and it bothers you, you'll know pretty much right away.Comment

I have it every now and then with no problems.Comment

I haven't tried it since I've been diagnosed with IC. I've stayed away from it ever since I realized it makes my pee stink!Comment

I have no issues with it, but I have foul smelling urine due to IC as it is, so I don't eat asparagus very often as it makes the smell worse!

I haven't had it in 4 years because it used to make me flare up so horribly. It's too bad because I really do love it. Namaste

hmmm
asparagus ayy?? Not sure.. but it Can't be all that bad. My working theory lately, now that i have really taken so many acid's out of my life, happens to be this. If it makes my mouth burn, or taste funny and metal like afterwards, then I won't have it. Especially if it gives me heart burn. Then I know that I really should not have done that! So, if i were to put asparagus in my mouth now, I don't think it would burn. So from my hypothesis, we could conclude, that the asparagus, should be a-okay!Though I will be sure to let you know if I decide me and the asparagus really don't get along. haha..

Status: Diagnosed October 2006 via cystoscopy with hydrodistention. Max anesthetized bladder capacity only 250 cc's. Mast cells and pinpoint bleeding found.
Remission for me means less pain for more days than not. Frequency is inevitable with a bladder this tiny! That is ok though. The difference between when I was diagnosed and now, is that I have embraced that fact. Me and the loo, we are one.
