Thanks Zxotte
This is important to me and helps

My PT also recommended taking a good dose of water before and after my coffee experiment So I will do that
I have been trying hard to eat and drink so that I limit bladder irritants.
I miss my coffee, for 40-50 years I have started each day with coffee.

Has anyone else had any experience with this?

I like your PT’s advice - you’ll dilute any irritants that might cause an issue. Do that for about a week and see how you do; adjust your water intake accordingly until you need the least amount - or none.

I have recommended the book "Life after prostatectomy" by Gaglani, a pelvic floor PT specialist, many times. Excellent read. Step by step guide to regaining continence. She discusses all of the causes of incontinence in detail and how to overcome them. A lot of discussion on bladder irritants. Drink lots of water!! Available on Amazon. Highly recommended.
