Are any forms of citrus well tolerated by IC patients - eg lemon oil or orange zest?  I miss these flavors! 

As you probably know, we always have to have the disclaimer, �Everyone is different,� but most IC patients tolerate the zest of citrus fruits. You can also find a large variety of citrus oils to try, many of them claiming to be natural. Remember, oranges and lemons are already natural, so that doesn�t necessarily mean natural citrus oil flavoring will be ok.  It is always important to try a tiny amount of something first and assess how you feel afterwards. The good thing about the zest of citrus and the oils is that a tiny amount provides a lot of flavor!

In addition, some IC patients can tolerate a small amount of low-acid orange juice.

PS:  I love the �wake-up� feeling I get from using the lemon scented soap and hand lotion that I keep by my kitchen sink. Sometimes the scent of something can be enough to satisfy a craving!
