Spicy Foods and Bedwetting

[David44]

Spicy Foods and Bedwetting Has taco night become a thing of the past at your house since you heard that spicy foods might trigger bedwetting? If so, it’s time to break out the salsa and grab some guacamole – experts say there is no evidence spicy foods trigger nocturnal enuresis.

The myth stems from the fact that spicy foods are known to irritate the bladder in some people and doctors may recommend that people with urinary incontinence avoid them.  But research hasn’t found a connection between the consumption of spicy foods and bedwetting.

as far as i know, spicy foods may possibly contribute to bedwetting because it speeds up the elimination process of the body. i know a lot of people would disagree with this statement but this is just as far as my knowledge is concern.

kelly, I don't say you're not right... but my experiences till now haven't showed any quicker elimination... but this is just my example, so it shouldn't be a law
