My before-travel list

I found this list of 10 foods to avoid if we have an overactive bladder. I used to have lots of problems when I was small...and it has gotten better as I grew up, but I still have to avoid liquids before making a long journey.

So I'm taking note of this. I have even made a condensed list (hey, I took notes! lol) because the "article" isn't really user-friendly (there is one tip per page, and you have to keep clicking "next") Though I feel that "10 things" is an exaggeration, because by saying "avoid liquids" or "avoid caffeine", there won't be that many items! Still...here's my list:

Avoid:
1. citrus fruits, even in juice form (oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, tangerines, even pineapple)
2. chocolate
3. coffee and black tea (caffeine)
4. spicy food
5. sugar and honey
6. tomatoes/tomato sauce
7. alcohol
8. milk and cheese
9. energy drinks (caffeine)
10. carbonated drinks

What do you think? Anything you've tried-and-tested among all these?
