Brief Summary:
This study evaluates whether eliminating certain ingredients (caffeine, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, acidic juices) consumed in beverages reduces bladder symptoms of urinary frequency and urgency. Women with overactive bladder will be recruited. Half of these women will receive instructions to replace beverages containing these ingredients with beverages such as water or milk. The other half of participants will receive instructions on following the United States Department of Agriculture guidelines on healthy eating.
Detailed Description:
It is commonly believed that it is better for women's bladders if intake of certain beverages is eliminated. Advice is given to women with frequency/urgency symptoms to avoid coffee or tea, sodas or pop, or any other drinks that contain alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners or high acidic content. Although the investigators do not know the direct cause and effect of consuming beverages with these ingredients, there might be reduction in "irritating" sensation to toilet often because of urgency if the beverages with these ingredients are replaced by "non-irritating" beverages.
