Allergies and Frequent Urination

People with urinary tract infections, diabetes or prostrate issues often have problems with frequent urination. However many people don't know it can also be caused by an allergic reaction. Generally speaking either a food or medication is the reason. Below are some of the triggers that can cause allergic related urination.

Wheat allergies: People with celiac disease have trouble digesting foods that contain gluten. Many times frequent urination can be triggered by eating foods that are high in gluten. These include bread, pasta or just about anything that contains wheat. The best way to treat this allergy is to avoid foods that contain gluten.

Food allergies: Foods that have a high acid content may also be a factor. It may be hard to determine exactly which foods are causing the reaction. It's a good idea to keep a daily journal to know exactly what you're eating and drinking. This way you'll be able to pinpoint the foods that are causing you problems. Generally speaking you should stay away from the following foods because they are high in acid and have been known to cause frequent urination:

• Salsa
• Sodas
• Teas
• Coffee
• Cranberry juice

Allergy medication: Sometimes it's the treatment that can cause frequent trips to the bathroom. Most medications come with many side effects and this is one of them. If you think this might be the case, talk to your doctor. He'll be able to recommend alternative treatment options for your specific condition.
