4 servings

- 2 tbsp coconut oil

Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
