Hi Karen,
(Hopefully you read my post to your other question about diet!)
When in Canada on vacation, for snacks I ate:
String cheese (mozzarella)
Original Triscuits
Original Wheat Thins
Dates
Baby carrots & celery sticks (I like celery with cream cheese, just be sure to get the cream cheese in block form, not tub)
Classic Lays Potato Chips
Hope you get some other answers too

This week's favorite one-liner:
"I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by...
New second favorite:
"And which dwarf are you?."
Adding a third because I'm just so darn easily amused...
"Eagles may soar, but weasels aren't sucked into jet engines."
Current treatments:
-IC diet
-Elavil 20mg at night
-Ditropan 5mg at night
-Continuous use birth control pills (4-5 periods/year)
-Heparin/Marcaine/Sodium Bicarb home instills every night & sometimes in the morning also
-Pyridium if needed, usually once a week or so
-1 Darvocet at bedtime,
-Flexeril 10mg at bedtime
-Dye Free Benadryl for allergies occasionally
-Pelvic floor & myofascial release (external only) physical therapy for 8 weeks, then home exercise program...
-Managing stress
-Fur therapy: Hugging the cat!

Oh, and you could also make your own trail mix from almonds, carob chips & raisins if you can tolerate raisins.
Plain rice cakes with cream cheese is good too.
(Can you tell I really like talking about food?)

They're like chocolate chips, but are IC friendly. I get mine at a local health food store.

Thanks. I'll be off to a health food store this weekend. Time to stock my kitchen with IC foods. Luckily my husband is willing to eat dinner with me (I don't have to cook twice). Yeah!
thanks again,
Karen
