Bladder irritation - Water Quality.
by: Chris on Thu, Jul 26 2007

I have found that drinking distilled water does not irritate my bladder. Hard water, on the other hand, is so irritating that I know when the first drop enters my bladder. I have also found that fish oil suppliments can also be irritating. Flax, on the other hand, does not irritate. Calcium suppliments can be irritating and potassium gluconate is a “big time” irritant. — Paying attention to what I eat and drink has helped to controle the irritation. Even every day food items need to be examined to see if they may be a culprit. Best Wishes…
