  • How Diet and Daily Habits May Affect Your Bladder
    London Women’s Care 803 Meyers Baker Rd. London, KY 40741 606-878-3240 How Diet and Daily Habits May Affect Your Bladder There is no “diet” to cure incontinence. However, there are certain dietary matters you should know about. Many people who have bladder control problems reduce the amount of liquids they drink in the hope that they will need to urinate less often. While less liquid through the mouth does result in less liquid in the form of urine, the smaller amount of urine may be more highly concentrated and, thus, irritating to the bladder surface. Highly concentrated, dark yellow, strong urine may cause you to go the bathroom more frequently. It also encourages growth of bacteria. And when bacteria begin to grow, infection sets in, and incontinence may be the result. Do not restrict fluids to control incontinence without the advice of your physician. Always follow your doctor’s orders. And, when in doubt, consult a physician, nurse, or pharmacist. Some foods cause urine to smell bad or peculiar. The most notable of these foods is asparagus. Some other foods may affect the way your urine smells. Another cause of foul-smelling urine, and the most dangerous cause, is urinary tract infection. If you notice that your urine has a strong odor to it and you have not eaten any foods that would cause this, you should see a physician and have a specimen of your urine tested for infection. Some medicines may cause your urine to be discolored or have an unusual odor. Some are medicines that you take for bladder inflammation or for urine tests.

  • Advanced Diet As Tolerated/Diet of Choice This Is for Communication Only
    SVMC INTERPRETATION OF DIET ORDERS SVMC menu plans are developed using best evidenced based practice guidelines. The Clinical Diet Manual is the basis for our menu planning and patient education materials. Listed below is a brief summary of the menu plans provided by SVMC and any specifics that may differ from the Clinical Diet Manual. Our regular non select menu serves as the basis for all our menu plans and follows the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI’s/RDA’s) for our population of male 51-70 years old. Menus are designed to meet nutritional requirements specified by the 2011 update of the DRI’s from the Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine, National Academies of Science’s guidelines. This menu is then further modified to meet the specific needs of each patient based on diet order, nutritional status, food allergies, age, cultural preferences and food likes and dislikes. Current Dietary Reference Intakes recommend that Sodium intake remain less than 2300 mg per day. In order to meet their preferences and maintain intake, most diets that do not indicate a Sodium restriction will exceed this value. A sodium restriction should be ordered if needed. Due to limitations within our nutrient database (CBORD) we do not have values available to us for all nutrients. Currently our database is incomplete for: biotin, choline, chromium, molybdenum, fluoride, iodine, chloride, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid and sometimes other micronutrients. Thin liquids are a default for all diets. Nectar, honey, pudding fluid consistency or fluid restriction needs to be ordered under “DIET CATEGORY”. If oral nutrition supplements (ONS) are ordered BID with meals, i.e.
