1. Avoid trigger foods.
When you have overactive bladder, what you eat matters. Some people find that spicy foods, chocolate, or citrus fruits can trigger bladder symptoms. 2. Cut the caffeine and artificial sweeteners. The same goes for beverages. Citrus juices and drinks with caffeine or artificial sweeteners, like coffee and diet sodas, may make you need to urinate suddenly. NOTE: Stop drinking coffee after around 2 pm. The reason is that caffeine has a half-life of around 6 hours. This means that if you drink a cup of coffee at noon, half of that caffeine stays in your system at 6 pm. And a quarter will remain by midnight when it’s time for bed. Which means bad sleep, compounded by your urge to pee. But the good news - you can always resort to decaf. 3. Abstain from alcohol. Opt for non-alcoholic beverages. Alcohol stimulates the bladder, which makes you urinate more frequently. Choose water, apple cider, or cranberry juice instead.
