@beachflyer Thanks-that gives me hope. For me, my triggers are liquid and not foods (so far).
Sorry to hear about the voiding issue...I'm sure that's challenging. One thing my therapist has pushed me hard to do is to delay urges for as long as I can comfortably do. She also wants me to consume 1/2 my weigh in water every day...which for me is 100 ounces.
The good news for me is that I've been able to eat spicy foods and other things they say to avoid. But....alcohol, citrus and some sweeteners are definitely big triggers. So, liquid triggers are my problem.
Yeah, my therapist said that if I do consume a trigger, to dilute it with water. Hoping to be better by six months.
