Action point

Tomato-based and spicy foods, as well as citrus fruits and chocolate can irritate your bladder.

Sugars, honey, and artificial sweeteners have also all been linked to irritated bladders and higher instances of leaks, so limit or avoid these as far as possible.

Visit our Incontinence Centre for more on managing this condition.
