Potential Bladder Irritants

Many people with urinary difficulties find that making changes to their diet helps control their symptoms.
In general, foods that are high in acid and potassium, spicy foods, and beverages that contain caffeine and alco-
hol should be limited.
However, not all foods affect people in the same way. Here are some simple steps to identifying the specific
foods that affect your bladder.
1) Keep a food diary.
Record the foods you eat and how much. Be sure to include any supplements you take.
2) Document which foods worsen your bladder symptoms.
3) Eliminate foods from your diet that cause problems
If you’re still unsure which foods are causing problems, begin by eliminating foods from the list
below one at a time. Then, reintroduce them to determine which foods trigger your symptoms.
