Interstitial Cystitis Friendly Flaxseed Egg Substitute
Managing bladder-friendly cooking often means rethinking everyday staples, and eggs can sometimes be a tricky ingredient to navigate depending on individual sensitivities. This simple two-ingredient gel gives you a reliable binder that works beautifully in baked goods and other recipes without introducing any of the common dietary triggers that can cause discomfort. Ground flaxseed and water are about as clean and straightforward as ingredients get, which makes this a genuinely stress-free swap to keep in your back pocket. The process takes just five minutes — you stir, you wait, and you get a sticky, egg-like gel that holds your recipe together just as well as the real thing. It's one of those small kitchen tricks that quietly makes a big difference, especially when you're already putting careful thought into every ingredient on your plate.
