I'm a great believer in what we eat and drink has enormous effect on our health.

I've been following the painful bladder diet with some success (no sugar, caffeine, alcohol are the biggies plus many others) for months and 'am looking into the low oxylate diet.

Some stuff is confusing for me like spinach (good for bladder, very bad for LS.)

Anyone try it and meet with any success?

University of Chicago has a great graph they downloaded from Pub Med

Thanks.

    in the past i tried cutting out those things plus dairy, gluten, and eggs. didnt see much of a change but i have incorporated consuming alot of probiotics on a daily basis and alot of water. from making these 2 changes, it has improved a lot! although i still have my days of irritation, which i believe are hormone related, these simple changes have been very beneficial for me.

      I can confirm all these good choices.

      I don't eat much sugar.... use stevia instead..... whenever I stray into sugar, I see a turn for the worst. I also added prebiotics recently, which also helped!
