I have an overactive bladder, medication does not help. What foods should i avoid?
For several years I’ve had an overactive bladder. Medications dont really help. The biggest difference is cutting out alot of caffeine later in the day. This way I might only get up 2 or 3 times a night. On a bad night it’s like 4-6 times. Sometimes I wake up with back pains and stomach pains and after I use the bathroom it goes away (even though my bladder was no where near full). I’ve tried 4 different med’s, and wonder if i cut our certain foods if that’d help. I never had this problem as a child or teenager (i’m 25) and blood tests show that my kidney is fine (was only born with one of em)
How can I manage this problem to make it more livable. I’d love to have one night where I don’t have to get up at all. Not very fair that my husband can drink a 12pack of beer and not get up once, and I drink nothing and get up 4 times.
Try not to eat fruits or anything that holds water right before bedtime. Salad, fruit, veggies, etc. Chips and dried foods are ok to eat because they will not stimulate your bladder as much.
