I heard that homegrown tomatoes don't have as much acid in them as the store bought ones. Has anyone tried homegrown tomatoes and how did your bladder react after trying them?

Hi,
That is a good question. My husband bought some yellow tomatoes (which I hear are lower in acid) to plant this year, but I wonder how many can actually tolerate these...I'll be curious to hear responses too...

I eat with no problem yellow tomatoes.Comment

There is a type of red tomato called Japanese tomato and is low acid. Not sure if they are available everywhere and they are more expensive but when I did eat tomatoes they were the best I ever had.Comment

I've been able to eat our homegrown tomatoes and am soooo looking forward to them again soon. I don't eat too many but it's so nice to have a bland homemade taco with at least a few chunks of yummy tomato....
Hope you have the same good luck and you can enjoy them.Never heard of IC til suspected....Never knew so many suffer from it. Praying for a cure.
I've found answers...so can you...keep the hope.

I can't have tomatoes of any kind or anything with even a tiny bit of tomato in it. In addition to the fact that they are a bladder irritant for me, I'm allergic to them.

I do great with home grown tomatoes and those small yellow pear tomatoes are super sweet and absolutely yummy! Sauteed in olive oil, they make a great pasta topping!! Don't be afraid of them... just try a small amount and see how you do! Be willing to explore!Would you like to talk with someone about your IC struggles?

I garden extensively and am trying tomatoes advertised as low acid in the seed catalogs, Mr. Stripey is one. I'm also growing orange banana and sungold. They are both orange/gold tomatoes and I hope they will be okay.lynn

I have done some research, but haven't had the opportunity to yet try it out. I have read that La Roma, Brandywine and Golden Boy are all low in acid. I do intend to grow some and try them. We will see.Comment
