vacation and IC diet

[mypookieluvsme]

I am going to be going on a short vacation the first weekend in June, and I am wondering if anyone has a good list of restaurants and foods that are fairly IC friendly??? I am only on my 3rd month on Elmiron so I don't want to "rock the boat" too much yet. We are going to Kansas City if anyone has any places that they have been there!

I've never been to Kansas City, but I do know that "diner" type restaurants work well for me (egg breakfasts, hamburgers). Steakhouses can work well if you ask them to make the steak with no seasonings, baked potato with butter, steamed vegetables. Italian restaurants can make plain pasta with butter, also.

Some chain restaurants I have found IC friendly (don't know if they're in KC, but maybe?): Sweet Tomatoes or Fresh Choice, Subway, Carrows.

Have a great trip!

hmm not really sure, I know we took a cruise in March and they specialized my dinner for me. My travel agent arranged it for us. Have a great trip

I live in KC and there are a lot of restaurants to go to. I like Cheesecake Factory I always get the filet Mignon and fries. I tell the waiter that I need it with no seasonings and they cook it right every time. I also get the Vanilla Bean Cheesecake.

Cracker Barrel for breakfast they have real maple syrup so I don't need to bring my own. I get the Maple Pancakes and do just fine. If going to breakfast some where else I have small containers that I take my own maple syrup with me. Pancakes and waffles are usually safe for me.

There are restaurants down on the Plaza like McCormicks and Scmicks will cook your seafood just like you need it. California Pizza Kitchen is also on the plaza I get White Pizza there or Fettucine

For fast food the ones I mostly go to are McDonalds, Arbys, Subway and Wendys .

Thank you all so much I am printing this out so I have it for reference. I have been so focused on the diet for a while that I have been really afraid to try most things.

What do you guys order at fast food places like Subway, McDonalds, Wendy's? I usually just get a plain hamburger. But I would really like to try something else, just to afraid, I guess!!

[ICNDonna]

Subway is easiest because you can tell them specifically what you want on your sandwich. At other fast food places, I usually order a hamburger or cheeseburger with nothing on it but lettuce and if I'm really wanting a treat, a vanilla milkshake or french fries.

I do exactly the same as Donna

At Wendy's I order a small salad (pick out the tomatoes) & baked potato plain. But I never eat it there, I take it home & put my own safe dressing on the salad & my own butter on the potato.

does subway have preservatives or anything that irritates the bladder? what do u get?

[ICNDonna]

I usually get roast turkey with just lettuce and cucumber - and sometimes light cheese.

Me too. I get turkey or roast beef with lettuce, cucumber, shredded carrots & bell pepper on wheat. For beverage, I get milk. If I want a treat, I get an oatmeal raisin cookie or Lay's Classic potato chips or Original Fritos.
