What are Jude?

Have you tried?: -
Limiting drinks in the evening ( but drink plenty earlier in the day to avoid dehydration)
Avoiding caffeinated drinks ( except maybe the first drink of the day)
Pelvic floor exercises, three times a day
Double voiding, especially last thing before bed.

I rarely get up in the night now after adopting these habits.

I took Jude for three months with no improvement whatsoever.

I think that doing a fasting diet helps, too ( I just go for as long as possible, I don’t set a specific number of hours to the fast).

Im 2 weeks in with my first bottle of jude tablets. I take 2 a day. they taste awful.

Am really hoping they help me

Well, having looked back on this thread I’m still taking soya and pumpkin which I buy from Holland and Barrett and I’m really not getting up as often in the night as I used to. So I’m going to persevere with it.

Grateful I don’t have this problem , probably have the opposite, I don’t go enough.
On a lighter note, St Jude is the patron saint of lost causes? Wonder why anyone would choose to name their product Jude.

My dh is up 2, 3 or even 4 times every night, and that’s 7 years post prostate removal, when we thought all that would be over, so do understand.
Wishing you all well hopefully you w ill find a solution for the problem but don’t rely on st Jude if you believe in such things. smile

That should have been 5.30 am.

For a long time I'd been getting up in the night to go to the loo, it increased to twice and night and a few months ago I realised that on many nights it was 3 times and I felt so tired and washed out. So five months ago I bought Jude.

It isn't instant, you have to be patient but I am now so much better. As an example last night I was tucked up asleep at 11 pm and had to get up at 6 am for the loo, the previous night was similar but I got up at 5.30 pm. It would be nice to get closer to 7 am but I can settle for 6 am.

I've just bought another 3 months supply and wouldn't want to get up 3 times a night again

I started Jude 2 weeks ago and so far no improvement. Just bought 2 more months supply. Ever the optimist.

On my third pack of Jude and so far it’s been a total waste of money .I have another 3 packs in the cupboard so I.ll stick with it .I would like a full nights sleep

A friend of mine has just had a knee replacement and she said she somehow trained herself to not go to the loo as many times in the night. I didn’t ask her how she did it because she was still in a lot of pain from the op but I’ll ask her next time I speak to her. I sometimes think it’s a habit I’ve got into combined with a change in sleep pattern as I’ve got older.

Have you sought medical help or advice for your issue?

Lisaangel10 Thu 19-Sept-24 21:37:35

I have just finished a course of Pumpkin seed supplements and unfortunately they have made no difference whatsoever. I am still up 2-3 times in the night. I have fallen off the loo a couple of times because I am so tired. 😴 I think they cost me £22 and were a complete waste of money.

CyberBug123 Thu 19-Sept-24 17:28:02

As someone who is up to the loo at least 3 times a night this thread is a revelation to me, off I go to order pumpkin capsules - thanks ladies

MayBee70 Thu 19-Sept-24 15:06:52

Because I was worried about the oestrogen content of Jude.I’ve been taking pumpkin capsules with soya for a few days and don’t seem to have been getting up so often in the night. Only problem is I think the pumpkin isn’t helping my IBS but I’m going to stick with it for a while. It’s supposed to help hair growth, too.

Been using for several months. No effect at all. Sorry.

BlueBelle Sun 15-Sept-24 07:38:46

I looked but very expensive

Farmor15 Sun 15-Sept-24 07:28:18

I started a thread a few weeks ago and a few people who responded mentioned Jude. You can read through and find the comments- it seems like it takes a while before you notice improvement.

I have succumbed to the reviews and advertising. Just ordered one months supply as my visits to the toilet are numerous during the night and leaks are frequent. Has anyone used these and have you had any success?
