Why would I eliminate all healthy fruits and vegetables? I think I will just try cutting back somewhat on certain items.
I found the list of diuretic foods online. I believe it was mainly put there for people who are retaining water. But, regardless, it may be helpful for me to know. I doubt those lists were composed for people with overactive bladder.

You can see a doctor for an opinion and it doesn't mean you have to take the medication until you discuss the pros and cons with the MD. The balance between nutrition and medical knowledge can be achieved.

I'll bring it up on my next scheduled check-up. But I wouldn't expect it to be of much help because he's an MD, not a nutritionist. I believe I will have to figure out the nutritional balance for myself. And medication will be a last resort if I can't find that balance.
Thanks for the input.
