I go through periods of waking up multiple times a night to urinate. For me it is usually when my bladder isn’t feeling healthy. I have had bladder infections and issues since I was a toddler. About 15 years ago I started having bouts of IC interstitial cystitis. I followed an IC diet and figured out what foods irritated my bladder. For me I can’t drink any beverage with artificial sweeteners as they irritate my bladder. Same with red wine and a lot of citrus and tomato sauces. Lucky for me coffee doesn’t bother me. What has helped is vaginal estrogen cream, Atarax prescribed to reduce inflammation and block histamine. I also take D Mannose which for me seems to help. I don’t take the Atarax or the D Mannose if I’m not feeling the need to frequently urinate.
