I printed the IC diet list of things good bad etc...I didnt see anything about regular fresh lemons??? I like to squeeze some lemon on my salad with olive oil...I also like to drink hot water with lemon?
Is this a no-no?

For almost ICer's lemon is not good. I will do the same thing on occasion with water but only a little bit. I don't think I am very diet sensitive though.
You might try doing without the lemon for a while to see if you notice a difference in symptoms. You don't want to do something that is causing you problems.
I will be willing to bet that most people on here will tell you that lemon and anything citrus will bother them.

Lemons are listed with the other citrus fruits on the caution list.

I've sort of discovered my intolerance to lemon lately. I can have a squeeze of lemon on chips I think, but other than that I never eat it much anyway. So I've never worried much about it, but avoided it anyway like most citrus. It's not so much food, but drinks that effect me more. I recently had some lemon flavoured ice tea which while nice, I can't drink as it irritates each time I consume it. Peach flavoured ice tea however is fine, I can drink many glasses, no worries.
And I think regular tea too might be an irritant for me (like other IC'ers). I normally have infusions, but had some for a change last night, and boom, mini flare. Dammit.
Anyway, I mention this as we often get bored with just water or milk to drink, so give Peach ice tea a go. And avoid lemon.
All the best!Comment

Hi!
Lemon and tea is bad but to qualify I mean green or black tea as 99% of teas are made from those. the african red tea (rooibus) is totally IC safe. Check out the davidsons teas here. I can drink them all day long.Cindi
