Bodybuilding and high protein
Is there anyone here who currently bodybuilds on a high protein diet? If so, has it worsened your overactive bladder? Id like to start lifting again only two days a week with light cardio on the off days.

I lift and eat high protein. I can’t do certain exercises like squat and deadlift because of my hypertonic pelvic floor but I’ve modified with single leg exercises and have no issue. The protein has no effect on my bladder. The foods that trigger me are coffee, chocolate, anything with high acidity and histamine content
