I used to drink a lot of rooibosch and stopped as I thought it might be the culprit ... and it was.

I think my GP would disagree with you Georgesgran

Vagifem helps my bladder!

I suspect the OP wants ideas/tips to try before medication. I can’t see where Vagifem would help though as it’s not for bladder problems.

I have never heard of this but a quick google confirms your suspicions.
It also suggests tomato purée or passata may have the same effect.

Have you tried Vagifem?

I have developed a very irritable bladder, I can pee throughout the evening every 15 minutes or so, I then go to bed and cannot sleep because my bladder feels full, I end up drinking litres of water because I am dehydrated and I have had enough.

I have eliminated things from my diet; alcohol, caffeinated tea and seen a little improvement, last night however it all flared up again.
I am fairly sure the culprit is fresh tomatoes, who knew they were a huge irritant?

I’m using some tomato paste in this evenings supper so it will be interesting to see if it’s as bad a reaction.

Does anyone else suffer like this and if so what is the cause?
