Avoid: Sugar and honey

10 Foods to Avoid if You Have an Overactive Bladder // Honey (© Corbis)

While it's challenging to completely eliminate sweets, it's worth cutting back, since sugars tend to stimulate the bladder. Leave the extra spoonfuls out of your cereal bowl or teacup, and read labels to avoid packaged goods that list simple sugars high in the ingredients list. Know that for some people, even artificial sweeteners (such as aspartame) irritate.
 
Better: Try Stevia, a natural sweetener 100 times sweeter than table sugar. Or even better, aim to adapt over a couple of weeks of withdrawal to a less-sweet taste.
