What is a safe brand to use?

-
Mayo is on the "Try it" list --- I can tolerate small amounts if I haven't had any other possible trigger food or drink. I don't know if there's one brand less irritating. I buy a lot of generic brands of food, but the mayonnaise has to be Best Foods --- it's a family preference.

I coudn't tolerate mayo at all when I was first DX'd because I couldn't tolerate eggs or oil's.Minds are like parachutes-they ony function when they are open.

Re: Mayonaise
so i was searching for a mayonnaise recipe without the lemon and vinegar and came across this thread. Those of you that can tolerate certain store bought mayo do they contain the lemon juice and vinegar? Are the lemon and vinegar in such small amounts that is probably why you can tolerate it? thanks.Diagnosed with IC sept. 2008, treatment then was hydrodistension, heparin instills for about 4 months and IC diet; symptoms lasted until sept 2009. Then only a couple of relapses overworking, stress etc. Then completely in remission until Jan. 2016 now pretty much symptom free as of mid august 2016.
Symptoms: overall body aches, dryness feeling at vaginal opening, sitting makes it worse, standing makes it worse, stress makes it worse, no frequency or urgency, worse symptom is at night with panging of uretha/bladder.
- went on diet, started Cysto Renew 3/31/16 and yoga at least twice a week.
- tried uribel but really not for my symptoms since it seems it is for frequency and painful urination which I don't have
- Ativan when needed to relax.
- Elmiron only took for a couple of days; didn't like it
- took atarax 1/2 10mg atarax pill at night really helped but gave me nightmares
- tramadol worked great for back aches
- generic claritin D worked best for me for calming bladder down and my panging
- still taking cysto renew 4x a day and believe this and diet helped the most.
- took dosage of cysto renew down to 2x a day and still okComment

Re: Mayonaise
so i found this recipe with no vinegar but with lemon juice, what do you think would happen if I left out the lemon juice as well?
what does the vinegar and lemon juice do for the mayonnaise anyway?Diagnosed with IC sept. 2008, treatment then was hydrodistension, heparin instills for about 4 months and IC diet; symptoms lasted until sept 2009.

Re: Mayonaise
Hi tangerine3:
I have made mayo just as the recipe you listed minus the lemon and it came out fine. I think the lemon and vinegar more or less may be for flavor.Diagnosed via cysto/hydro 2/6/2015
Symptoms: frequency, urgency. uretha discomfort, mild bladder pain (a raw sore type feeling.)
CURRENT TREATMENTS:
IC Diet (2/15) , Elmiron 100-300mg (3/15-5/16) insurance issues switched to PPS-DR (5/16-present) 2 150mg capsules daily (pentosan polysulfate sodium same formulation in Elmiron) DH Aloe 3-6 capsules daily (3/15), Schiff Digestive Advantage probiotics 1 pill daily (3/15), Amitriptyline 25mg- (5/15-8/16)attempting to wean down due to suspected weight gain side effect. Hydroxydine 25-50mg as needed at bedtime (5/15) Quercetin 2 pills daily to help immune system and body inflammation. Cystoprotek 4 capsules daily (8/15). Prelief as needed.
USE DURING FLARES: Heating pad, ice packs for PFD, Vaginal Valium 10-20mg, Uribel, Pelvic floor stretches.
PAST TREATMENTS: PFD physical therapy (6/15-10/15) & Counseling for stress mgt (9/15-12/15) both very helpful. GNC brand progesterone cream (not sure if this made a difference). Too many different diets and herbs to list.
