Overactive Bladder Diet - Key Foods to AVOID with Urgency
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 авг 2024
- Overactive bladder, urgency and bladder leakage are often aggravated by common food and drink. Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist Michelle from www.pelvicexer... shows you the key dietary causes of bladder irritation and urinary urgency. This dietary information for men and women helps you better manage overactive bladder and reduce bladder leakage.
Overactive bladder is characterized by bladder symptoms including urinary urgency, frequency (daily voiding more than 10 times), nocturia (night time voiding more than 1-2 times) and urinary incontinence. Some foods and drinks can cause bladder irritation and increase overactive bladder problems.
The main bladder irritants to avoid are presented in the following 5 categories. The most common bladder irritants that cause bladder urgency include:
*Caffeine
*Alcohol
*Acidic Foods
*Condiments and Spices
*Medications and Artificial Sweeteners (some)
Many bladder irritants are hidden in the ingredients of common foods and drinks. If you suffer from overactive bladder, it's important to be aware of those ingredients that potentially irritate your bladder and read the food labels of foods and drinks before you consume these items.
These are the dietary substances most likely to cause bladder urgency in some individuals. Not all of these foods and drinks will have the same effect on every individual with overactive bladder. To test whether or not they worsen your overactive bladder symptoms, you may choose to eliminate them for a week and then reintroduce individual items one at a time every couple of days. Note the immediate effect on your bladder urgency and leakage and you may decide to limit or eliminate them from your diet if they have a marked effect.
When eating out some of the foods most likely to cause bladder urgency include some of our favorite international cuisines. This video discusses some of the cuisines more likely to cause bladder irritation when eating out.
If you require medical assistance managing overactive bladder then consult with a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist.

Simple and straight forward and depressing all in one!
NO SH*T everything your not supposed to have. and not 1 WORD of what you need to consume. 1st and LAST TIME HERE.
Basically dont eat or drink all the GOOD STUFF...
Don't eat or drink at all, if you followed everything that is now considered " could be harmful" that's all that's left to do. Tomorrow it'll be water.
No doubt, all the things I like aren't allowed.
Basically starve yourself and you can live forever..What is left than…😮
Exactly
Michelle, your tips were very helpful! I have followed a plant based diet for many years and though I don't drink alcohol or carbonated beverages, over the past several months I'd gotten into the habit of eating a lot of citrus - perhaps two grapefruits and two oranges a day along with other fruit. I'd also developed a fancy for hot sauces containing chillis, habanero, and jalapenos, and used them - as well as pepper flakes - on a lot of my meals, since many include beans. Additionally, I'd returned to drinking coffee, mostly decaf, which I believed was "better." Well, I began experiencing marked bladder symptoms that made me really uncomfortable - to say the least - not to mention very concerned. Five days ago, I stopped using all of the above and the symptoms have improved dramatically. I encourage other viewers who are having overactive bladder symptoms to give your suggestions a serious try. There's nothing to lose and a lot of comfort and peace of mind to gain. Thanks again and keep up the fine work!
Great news Bill, if this video helps just one person as it's helped you then it's all worthwhile indeed - thank you for commenting and all the best
@Goo Gle I hate when people don't reply it pisses me off souch
@@speedknight1378 maybe they don’t have notifications enabled and are unaware that they have something to reply too. Or, god forbid something happened to them… or they are just not very considerate 😊
Thank you so much really you opened my eyes, even though it hurts😊
100% agree with everything except for white wine. White wine is normally much more acidic than rose or even red. And I find it causes me a bladder infection and I avoid it now completely!
Thanks for the information. Helped me a lot. My doctors did not tell me regarding this. He only told me not to eat spicy foods.
WooHoo - I can still have ice cubes!
Yay!
yes, but not many
Too funny!!
😂no
This is really helpful. Pity doctors wouldn't point is in your direction!
Michelle Kenway,you are such a good and sympathetic Physiotherapist,that every one must consult.I wish I was near you.I am suffering from Prostate problem.May God bless you.
@robert khan I so appreciate you saying that - that was so sweet of you! All the best for your recovery 🙏 ❤️
Diet change heals SO many things!
I want to cry
don't be so sad, you can now live off rice and water. i now have a very active bladder, had a mild hear attack a month ago and it has made it worse
I've found your videos very helpful. I did not realize carbonation was a problem. I drink a lot of lemon/lime seltzer, and non-alcoholic beer. I've cut out alcohol almost completely, and down to one decaf coffee in the morning. But I've been waking up every two hours to go to the bathroom for years, I can't even remember what it was like to sleep through the night. I drink a lot of herbal tea such as turmeric/ginger, lemon/ginger, and then blends like nettle/dandelion/licorice. Giving up the dark chocolate is tough. Plus my garden is FUUUULLLLLLL of tomatoes! Oy! I just went through 3 weeks antibiotic from a UTI - am using DMannose with cranberry, an Icelandic herb called angelica in a capsule called Sagapro, and also a probiotic particularly for the urinary tract. It is wonderful that someone like you is sharing this information in such a straight forward, honest, practical and kind way.
Lemons for me
Turmeric is a oxalate and is inflammatory for the bladder. A no no for interstitial cystitis .
Thank you very much for that, you are spot on! I don't drink coffee or alcohol but all the other things you've mentioned do irritate my bladder. It's really frustrating at times as I spend ages reading labels when food shopping 🙄and my food choices are very limited. I seldom eat out. I thought I was the odd one out...
Wow! I didn’t know I ate so many foods that irritated my bladder.
I switched to 85% chocolate so that I wouldn’t have as much sugar. So now I learned that is higher in caffeine. I just can’t win!
Excellent! Thank you for this valuable information. Some urologists don't explain this diet topic and just prescribe.
So glad to help!
@@michellephysio Blessings for you! Best regards from Puerto Rico 😉
The Urologist that may just prescribe meds from the get go I would just get up & walk out.
My mom had 2 or 3 surgeries for this and it didnt help. I think her changing her eating habits would of helped her than the surgeries. I think the doctor just wanted money. All they said was dont drink coffee 😒.
Dont expect from such doctors. Urologist never speak with patients much. Give them just money. Walk out of their clinic within two minutes & after waiting outside for two hours. Same with diabetic foot doctors. Keep wallet ready to pay them
What about Non Caffeine herbal teas? How about a presentation about WHAT WE CAN EAT/ DRINK? Thanx Doc!!
Thank You! I suffer from bladder cancer.. I can confirm all these foods/ chemical's will irritate those tumors inside my bladder then I begin to bleed! Now I'm convinced that's been the problem all along! Also taking. Norwegian fish oil or eating Mackerel also helps allot!
I pray you are cured. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love your work but I think you just named all my fave food groups. Even choc paddle pops. Luckily you haven't mentioned cheese...yet!!
Agreed Sue, it's a problem isn't it! I have some good food swaps coming out next week, stay tuned :)
Have a rule of thumb , 1 coffee 4 glasses of water , it will be washout . (my opinion ).. Salud !😏
@@michellephysio Hi I'm suffering from this at present and i had a hospital scan about 3 weeks ago and when I went to the toilet they said my bladder fully emptied. I said so why do I find the need to go like twice an hour or every 2 hours I cant hold it longer than that without feeling uncomfortable. They did say the saw fibroids which may be a problem. I still have another appointment but that's not for months because of Covid. I was just wondering about the Caffeine I cut it out two weeks ago and all fizzy drinks but i havent noticed any difference apart from when i do go more comes out than normal but i still find i cant hold it longer than 2 hours 3 at a push. Is Caffeine really an issue if i cant see a difference?? Thank you:)
Arggg, the food list is the stuff that I normally eat. And....the spices are the ones I use weekly. Now I have to change a lot of options and substitute things.
Every morning I took 2 pieces of Dark chocholate before my brisk walk. Will it irritate the bladder?
Pretty much don’t eat anything 😩
Hi Michelle , thanks so much for this video😭😭😭, I know you are more than just the messenger for this important subject..Coffee dark chocolate and fruit were basically my go to place😩, but reality is what we have to accept or maybe end up with a worse problem..Thanks for your time and knowledgable information, I appreciate what you do and respect the choices you put in front of us😘..
@Dermot McGlinchey you're most welcome! I really put a lot of thought into this, thank you for noticing. Appreciate your feedback and support. All the best!❤️🌺
I agree with this information . There are medications to help you go to the washroom so often . You may have an injury that contributes to an over active bladder . A small bladder . A urologist will help . 😊
This video was so informative as I have MS and an overactive bladder which has got worse over time. You have confirmed for me what intuitively I thought were irritants as well as a few more surprises such as green tea. Such a lot to change.....Thank you
Glad this helps you Cara - yes green tea is one of those hidden irritants, there are low caffeine varieties of green tea available (but none caffeine free that I know of ...yet)
How old are you ?
@@r.barbhuiya1726 That’s rude question??
This is all getting way too confusing. Have a glass of lemon and hot water every morning, it's so good for you. No, don't have lemon, it's too acidic. Pure dark chocolate, have a small bit every day, very good. No, the darker the chocolate the worse it is. Onions, garlic etc, good. No, onions bad. And on it goes.
It really depends on your personal needs, that's the thing. Like...apples are healthy, right? But I can't digest polyols, so apples are bad for me.
This video was helpful. I have sensitive bladder and I have cut out all soft drinks, spices, most acidic fruits. I do consume dark chocolate in small amounts and kiwi fruit as well.
Another amazing video thank you. Like seeing your crew in the reflection too. Great information.
@Bill Dube my pleasure - thanks so much 🙏 for your support! So glad you like this video. All the best to you! 🙏 💖
Thank you. Very extensive group of spices.
I quit drinking alcohol 5 years ago and haven't looked back since. My main issue is whenever I get a craving for sweet tea which has 85 grams of caffiene. I also smoke tobacco, which probably isn't a help either, but it's very hard to quit. I do have chronic gastritis and IBS type C, so a lot of high acidic foods I avoid without any second thoughts. I live off of Greek yogurt and healthy stuff like that, but I think, unfortunately, the sweet tea is going to have to be quit forever.
Did dropping the alcohol help your bladder a lot ?
Ever helpful - many thanks Michelle.
Could you address the amount of these items that may be unhealthy. For example, a cup of tea a day versus five. A cut up tomato with eggs as opposed to a tomato salad? Or tomatoes sauce with pasta? ocasional use of say a jalapeño Chile versus hot Chile sauce? And what IS occasional? Thanks so much!
Omg I just started eating dark chocolate the 100% all of a sudden I started having over active bladder and I didn't know why until now. Thank you so much for this information I guess I'm getting rid of my dark chocolate 🍫🙂.
You got this!
I thought that dark chocolate was beneficial for Prostate problems? Now I’m not to eat it? Tomatoes are acidic, bad for the arthritis and the bladder, but good for the Prostate. Very confusing, I think I’ll just live on porridge oats without any dairy produce.
Not happy I need to give up dark chocolate! It’s my only sweet treat!
@@nickybritain4900 just buy tablet form, lycopene supplements.
Sheesh if I eliminate all those I will be too weak to make it to the toilet in time 🤣 seriously, very helpful tips thanks.
That was amazing. Thank you, Michelle. #ILoveMichelleKenway
Thank you for this helpful info Michelle!
So helpful Michelle, thank you. As defeating as the list is at least now I can have more ‘control’ over my choices 😊
@Lunar Bloom You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that you found the information helpful. Keep up the positive mindset, and I wish you all the best!🙏 ❤️
You just teased me with the chocolate by eating it in my face 😂😂😂😂😩😩😩 I’m so jealous lol
Great video Michelle, very informative. I suffer from bladder problems. What can I eat instead of tomatoes and citrus fruits ?
Great question Tudor - the issue is obviously the acidic content - low acid tomatoes are often well tolerated, the orange ones are delicious too. As far as citrus goes I wish I knew, maybe another viewer may have a suggestion on this ...
But not everybody gets affected the same way. For those of us who do get affected so easily what is the cause?
Thanks for this. At one point I was told that oxalate aggravated it and being vegetarian and a picky eater that was my entire diet. Wish I'd had this at the start of my issues. Wine and chocolate were hard to take!😀
That sounds really tough Beatrice, there's quite a bit of cross over too with high oxalates and bladder irritants - are you still on low oxalates? Can you tolerate carob?
My favorite spices are cardamon, ginger and turmeric. Unfortunately they increase urgency. I'm suspecting that cinnamon does the same, so I significantly reduce my intake.
Wow didn't know this
Makes sense why am urinating like crazy
I improved after 2 days
Drank a lot of detox tea and dtyck to paleo diet
When you get a bladder infection, urine trouble !!
I wasn’t interested in most of this stuff anyway, besides sodas, but I don’t drink a whole lot of them. This video does help a little bit, thanks.
Very helpful thank you Michelle
@Julie Le Page You are so welcome! Happy to help! ❤️
I thought tomatoes where recommended for an enlarged prostate
Man, I also saw another video that shows how onion peel tea is good for your prostate and frequent urination
I imagine I can still drink water. May I have bread with my water? This has come on me quickly and I think something else may be wrong. I will see a doctor as soon as I can. I do not want to ignore something else that my be wrong.
I can’t seem to find your RUclips video of bladder friendly foods. Could you post the link here? Thank you for your video it’s been helpful
Only have water and drink 2 cup day tea dont eat chocolate or fizzy drink or tomatoes its could be spicy food or white rice
Thank you . I have learnt a lot
Great attempt to cover bladder irritants 👍🏼 Thank You
@FredBerger11.11 you're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment.
You are so funny when you say "Oooh that piece of chocolate needs some tidying up"!!! That is EXACTLY what my mum used to say when I was growing up in Australia!!!!!
So tell me.. how can i survive?
damn. can't eat anything
Yeah I know it sucks
I have a question, I suffer from irritation, but I follow an excellent diet plan, but is it also a secret habit that has something to do with it, but something I hope to respond quickly
😭💔
Very informative thanks
thats literally my entire diet!
Thank you very much for the information, very, very helpful. If you have other topics, please help us.
@Chuck Sure thing! It's my pleasure to help. Thanks so much for your lovely comment and support. I'm so glad you find this helpful. You may also see the latest video I just uploaded ruclips.net/video/Ehzter47STk/видео.html . Hope this helps ❤️
I didn't undertand the onion part. Raw is bad but if you cook it or fry it then it's ok??
I have my problem is frequent urination pls tell me the solution in medicine is critical situvation for me pls help him
Lycopene in tomatoes is important for prostrate health. Since enlarged prostrate can result in nocturia, should tomatoes be on your list (to avoid)?
Tomatoes made my OAB worse and I've read about lycopene benefits so im trying to find a lycopene supplement.
If your suffering from the eating tomatoes with Bladder/BPH issues you should consider backing off. From my personal experiences.
I eat whole food plant based vegan and recently started drinking coffee and have nocturia. I need to give it up. Am wondering what to have as a morning pleasure drink. I do not eat or drink junk food. Are cocoa nibs permitted?
Darn just heard you say no to cacao nibs. Kombucha?
Aaanddd bye bye coffee!!
Thank you for making these videos and sharing all this great, useful information 🌺🌺
@Vanessa Chishti my pleasure - happy I could be of help! All the best! 🙏 ❤️
I started laughing almost as soon as you started talking. Coffee (God's gift to woman) Prosecco, chocolate, tomatoes, citrus fruits, mustard, spicy curries, need I go on? Thank you for the extensive list of almost everything I eat and love and was so happy you didn't hit any green vegetables or I'd never get out of the bathroom!
Cheers, Freyja
I hope you know I really appreciated all you told us as I am one of many with an irritable bladder. I was laughing at myself because aside from the sugar substitutes and fuzzy drinks you laid out more than 60% of what I eat. Small wonder what I am doing as my own worst enemy.
You're not alone Freyja!
Make us a list of foods that are okay?
Such a wealth of good information, thank you!!!!!
@Dede Dios You are so welcome! I hope you benefit from this video information . All the best!🙏💖
Yes,ur probably right..I found waking up in morning and then breathing not good for my bladder.
1 Caffeine
2 Alcohol
3 Acidic Foods
Tomatoes,Onions,Oranges,Kiwi fruit.
4 Condiment and Spices
5 Artificial sweeteners.
6 Medications.
7 Eating Out
Spicy options
Thank you Michelle for the information. I had to be careful of lemons and oranges because it would trigger my eczema so now I learn it can contribute to my overactive bladder. The coffee is hard I have one deccaf or low acid coffee in the morning so now I drink it only twice a week. I know Alcohol is out but I didn't know about tomatoes and spicy foods. I hope to conquer this condition. I was taking apple cider vinegar for weight loss so I will have to stop taking drinking ACV. Thanks again.
I gave up tea 4 years ago been drinking Redbush instead havent looked back!
May I check with you please, is that Rooibos tea? 'cause that's what comes up in Google.

Only meat and water for me, Thank you!👍🙂
Amazing information
@Des you're amazing ❤️ thanks for the beautiful words, much appreciated. ❤️
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure!
I’ve had OAB for more than 13 years. And it seems I almost cured it just a month ago.
Was trying different doctors. It took multiple years until they set a proper diagnosis. I tried electrical stimulation, Mirabegron, Solifenacin. Medication helped a bit, but after I stopped taking it, the symptoms got back to what had.
In November here were my complains:
* I went to a bathroom about 15 times a day (60ml - 130ml per one time)
* 2-3 times during night
* During mastrubation I had to make a break to pee
* If I wanted to go to a bathroom then I had to do it ASAP.
So in November another doctor recommended trying a Bladder training. As a main treatment. I adjusted it a bit my way and unbelievably I got my first results in 2 weeks: first time for maybe last 10 years I didn’t go to a bathroom at night. Then I started to go to the bathroom more rarely.
Here is what I got now:
* I go to a bathroom 5-7 times a day (200 - 300ml per one time)
* Haven’t gone to a bathroom at night last 1 month
* I can easily wait if I need
So for some reason doctors didn’t recommend trying bladder training and hence I thought it wouldn’t help, so didn’t bother.
========
Here is my modification of the bladder training which helped me to get cured from Overactive bladder which I suffered from for about 13 years:
With the help of pelvic floor physiotherapist learn how to achieve these things:
How to understand that your pelvic floor muscles are contracted. The doctor might use “biofeedback” device to help you with this
How to relax pelvic floor muscles
Keep a bladder diary. Record how many millilitres you urinate every time you go to a bathroom. While at home you can have a plastic bottle at the toilet with the volume marks. While not at home you can use a zip-bag which you also have to mark. Like 50 ml, 100 ml, 150 ml and so on.
Analyse the reason why you might want to urinate. Be aware that sometimes the reason is caused by some patterns. For example, here are some patterns that I have: when getting up from a chair/bed; when sitting with my legs bent underneath me; when coming back from outside to home; when feeling depressed; when taking shower; when pooping.
Then every time you want to urinate ask yourself: “Why do I want to urinate? Is it caused by a pattern? If so, what can I change? Can I wait a bit more?“. F.e. if the urge is caused by a body position like when sitting with my legs bent underneath me, then take a position when pelvic floor muscles are not contracted. If the urge is caused by a pattern like when you get up from a chair, then recognize that it’s just a pattern and try to ignore the urge for some time.
When you are already at the toilet and about to urinate. Do these steps:
Try to analyse how badly you want to urinate. Is it 10/10 or 5/10?
Do you feel that sometimes your stomach is a bit stretched when you want to urinate and sometimes the urge is just in the head?
If the urge is not that intense, can you try to not to urinate and postpone it a little bit? Like 15 minutes?
After you urinate, write down in the diary how many millilitres you urinated.
Next time you at the toilet play a game: Based on your feelings and urge evaluation, try to guess how many millilitres you are going to urinate. This was the key technique for me. After some time you’ll learn to understand by your feelings/sensations how many mls you’re going to urinate. Use this prediction skill and when you feel that the volume is going to be below 200 ml, try to relax the pelvic floor muscles and just ignore the urge. Go to the bathroom only when you think it’s going to be above 200 ml.
The only exception when you go to the bathroom to urinate and you feel it’s going to be less than 200 ml is before going to bed at night.
During the night try not to go to the bathroom right away. Try to resist as much as you can, but don’t torture yourself. Just make a bit of effort.
Don’t drink like 3 hours before bed. Try to see if reducing the coffee intake helps.
Don’t bother with how often you go to urinate. For me if I drink a litre of cola then at the very beginning of the training I can urinate within a 15 minutes interval. That doesn’t matter. What matters is to be above 200 ml.
The doctor advised me to try the bladder training for 1 month and if I don’t see any changes, then we can add the medication like Mirabegron to help following the training.
After 2 weeks of the training I didn’t go to urinate at night. Probably that was the first time in the last 10 years. Then later I went to urinate less and less at night. Last month I didn’t urinate at night at all. Wish you all luck!
I am going to try this!! Seen so many specialists, nothing worked 😫
Thank you for the detailed plan
@@seattle2ktm does it work with you?
Hey Michelle,
I understand food, bowel and stress are triggers for the bladder. Does sex irritate an overactive bladder too? Does it cause a flare with pain and urgency?
Yes It does..and the bacteria go bladder to uthera
So pretty much drink water?
And herbal thee
According to this you have also to eat water.
If you don’t drink anything including water you don’t urinate!
Hi Michelle . Great videos thank you for these and for giving me some more knowledge on the subject. Is decaf tea better than decaf coffee ?
I love her accent!!!!😍
Thank-you. That covers a lot of my favourites ! K
I may as well starve to death!
I think it’s possible to live entirely on porridge / oats. But don’t use milk or any type of sugar or honey. No lemon juice either. I think all the goodness and nutrition you need can be found in oats. Softened with a little boiling water, it won’t irritate your bladder or bowel, but it will fill you up and give you energy.
Living with OAB is not living. I has took joy out of my life. I’m really unhappy
@balapa yes OAB can make life challenging. There are many treatments available for OAB, I hope that you can access treatment from a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist to help you improve and manage your condition. I have quite a number of videos on OAB management in this playlist for more information ruclips.net/p/PLqo18HBnle8xnlStA1AdkWAFUo4tmSW2u if you're unable to access Physiotherapy treatment plus your doctor can precribe medication to help too. I hope you're able to access some assistance as there is help available 🙏
Do you have any tips for slowly reintroducing foods?
Hi Michelle, I have been diagnosed with Interstitial Cytitis (painful bladder syndrome) since 2014 that makes me wake up several times a night to pee large volumes (way more than I drink) and I do tend to avoid many of these foods, but my question is how do we ensure an adequate vitamin C intake with no citrus? I find vitamin C supplements cause even more irritation!
Meyer lemons are less acidic, I also make my own salad dressing with organic ACV with the mother. I have IC with hunner's lesions since 2013
I am super sensitive to bladder irritants. Besides urgency, the more serious problem I have is waking up in the wee hours of the morning to empty my bladder...and I can't. I pee a drop here, a drop there. If I am fortunate, I can pee a weak stream for a short amount of time. I have to wait and keep trying. Another brief weak stream, wait, another weak stream, wait, and finally get a longer weak stream. I'm still not done, and have to do another two streams to be sure my bladder is empty. It can literally take me an hour and a half to empty my bladder. A trip to the ER and a catheter are likely in my future.
Hi Harold, do you have an enlarged prostate? Check with your doctor please - there are medications that can help with this condition if this is the case. All the best to you!
@@michellephysio I do have enlarged prostate - median lobe enlargement into the bladder. I am on Tamsulosin. I may have to get back on Finasteride. I have to severely limit my exposure to bladder irritants: no coffee, no tea, no alcohol, no spicy foods, no orange juice. I suspect MSG from Chinese takeout is also a factor.
I observed greentea can easily get pee..i drink greemtea instead of all colored drinks.
Thanks for the info
I think for me this is about huge .....moderation. Not expecting to have treat or even all sorts of foods on the daily basis.
Great information and I love your accent. Thank you. Life is all about experimenting and considering what works. Keeping a food diary has helped me. I wonder if combining other ingredients with some of these foods lessens the irritation. There are certainly foods that help reduce OAB.
What can you eat? Wow
Grass bro
Carbon boxes
Maybe it would be simpler to tell us what we can eat and drink.
Thank you. I’m gonna try
@Sam Farin you're welcome! I do hope this helps 🙏
Thank you. Very informative, covering some uncertainities. 👍🏾
@Jospin Thompson you're welcome & thank you for the feedback. All the best to you !💜
It seems most drinks, vegies and fruits will irritate the bladder! So, what do we consume?
Drink distilled water. Eat Beets.
Pomegranate etc. U can do what u want but u be pee pee all day.when u go out 4 dinner ask 4 water. God Blessing in u and on u.
😘❤‼️
Thanks for tips
@Danielle Rickel you're most welcome! ❤️🌺
Impossible. I am following everything, but I still have a robust and overactive bladder, and I am tired of it. I guess there is no cure!!!
Thank you
@Siva Kalyanasundaram you're most welcome - hope this helps! ❤️🌺
Thank you for sharing this.
@Sarah Gee you're most welcome. Hope this helps 🙏 ❤️
Thank you for this! Except alcohol, I am guilty of all of these especially coffee and multivitamin drinks like energy drinks! Obviously, I have to cut down on these.
My problem now is coffee and Diet drinks . I would drive up four cups of coffee ☕️ before going to bed 🛌 and two in the morning. Pop soda 🥤 two cans all day. I believe look at what’s your overload throughout the day. I forgot to mention one bottle of water a day sometimes.
VERY USEFUL
Wow Mexican food. Eeek lemons green tea coffee. Is there anything left ? Choose rice and bread everything we've been told what to and not to do .
Good information thank you
@Gracy L • you're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Hope this helps🙏
She covers almost all fruits on planet 😅
What an annoying health issue....that just leaves Water 24 /7 everythung else seems off limits lol.I like Soda I'm stuffed bar humbug
Overactive bladder, also called OAB, causes a frequent and sudden urge to urinate that may be difficult to control. You may feel like you need to pass urine many times during the day and night, and may also experience unintentional loss of urine (urgency incontinence).
It’s unfortunate though true. Acidic foods need to be avoided to feel if it’s making a difference then maybe trying to add 1 at a time back in and see if that may work or not. I have Celiac Disease so I’m on a strict GLUTEN FREE diet. I also have Bloating so my gastroenterologist put me on a FODMAP diet. And now I’m on a DIETARY IRRITANTS TO THE URINARY TRACT. It’s overwhelming but once I settled down reviewed all it was manageable. The Gluten Free because of celiac disease is the ONE I must follow strictly above all. Take care 🤗
