Episode 17: Bladder Irritants & the Holiday Season

Joy Noble • November 8, 2023

Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 17, I discuss how to manage the top bladder irritants during the upcoming holiday season to keep your bladder happy.

Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast - Episode 17: Bladder Irritants & the Holiday Season

Episode 17 Recap:

  • Top bladder irritants:
  • caffeine
  • carbonation
  • alcohol
  • artificial sweeteners
  • citrus
  • tomato based foods
  • spicy foods
  • Not all of these foods/drinks are going to be YOUR irritants. Each of them can affect people differently so test it out and figure out which of these bother your bladder before you decide to eliminate them.
  • I don’t typically have my patients cut them out completely - instead I have them drink more water
  • Water is key in helping to dilute these irritants in the bladder to keep it happier
  • Don’t forget - sip your water, don’t gulp it! Chugging a whole bottle of water does not work inside your body the same as slowly sipping it over time. Your body will process all the extra water out as waste if you consume it too fast.

    By Joy Noble • November 26, 2024
    Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 58, I reviewed Day 1 of the PelviCon speakers. It was hard to avoid all of the nerdy pelvic therapy things but I tried to keep it as relevant to patients as possible and include the big takeaways & clinical pearls from each person. The speakers are always amazing and bring their own flair and this year did not disappoint!
