One of the most common questions I am asked by bladder patients
is, "What can I drink?" Most
IC and OAB patients know they
should all avoid anything with caffeine. Trust me, it makes a
difference. If you are having trouble getting off of your daily
caffeine, start slowly by alternating your caffeinated beverage
with water. After a few days, have two glasses of water between
each caffeinated beverage. Eventually, you will be able to avoid
caffeine entirely.
Thankfully, there is a
wide variety of coffee substitutes and teas. Just be sure to
read the labels. Some herbal teas, even if they are labeled
caffeine-free, may also contain black or green tea which
naturally, you should avoid.
Other options for drinks include dairy
products, almond milk, pear juice, blueberry juice, and even low-acid
orange juice. Again, listen to your body. If you seem to have an
increase in symptoms, put the offending beverage on your list to try
again at a later date. Many bladder patients find that, over time, they
can add more variety to their limited selection of beverages. |
