Smoked (cooked) trout and salmon?

I bought some smoked trout, cooked and smoked, that is in brine. It seems that Dr. B has ok'ed smoked, cooked fish for some (tho not listed). Most brine has at least some sugar. On the package it says there are zero grams of sugar. I called the company and they use 1Tbs of sugar for 5 gallons of brine. That seems so little.

Has anyone been ok'ed for this?

I emailed her but probably won't hear back till after Thanksgiving. I had to buy 5 packs! I guess I can give it away if she does not ok it.

Thanks for any thoughts!

I absolutely stay away from sugar, in any amount. Yeast and bacteria are tricky organisms, you never know how they'll react. I think they adjust to live even on miniscule amounts of sugar. Let me know what Dr B says.

Smoked Salmon REALLY upset my bladder the one time I tried to eat. It is kind of a big no no on the regular IC diet list.

We have a smoker so we will probably just smoke our own :)

If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.

Somewhere on here someone posted about smoked trout dip. And somewhere there was a discussion of cold smoked vs. cooked. I think I will smoke my own fish in salt brine without sugar. Then it will a) have no sugar, and b) be cooked so no bad organisms found in raw fish.
