    Cool whip?

    Has anyone tried eating cool whip without a problem? Or does it have too many chemicals in it for us? What about that whipped cream in the can? I know a good alternative is just whipping heavy cream with vanilla extract and sugar, but it make messy dishes and doesnt last long in the fridge. I was hoping to make a desert with blueberries and angel food cake as a treat and now I'm afraid to eat the cool whip!

      Katie, I personally didn't have any problems with Cool Whip but I don't seem to be really diet sensetive. I'm sure that there are some that are more diet sensetive who would have a problem with the chemicals. If you know the angel food and the blueberry's are safe for you why don't you just use a little bit of Cool Whip and see how it goes? If that's the only new thing that you have then you should know pretty quickly if it bothers you.

      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!)

          HI I don't have a problem with Cool Whip.......but on another note.....the canned whipped topping really bothers my IBS.....I guess it's the cream in it. I'd say give the Cool Whip a try.....maybe not eat it two days in a row......but give it a shot........Good luck, Roxie

                  I eat the regular CoolWhip okay as long as it's part of a larger meal (diluted).
                  My mom eats the fat free CoolWhip & is ok with it (she also has IC). I've been a little hesitant to try the fat free one since it has more polysyllabic ingredients.
