Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I read your recent column about overactive bladder (OAB). I had a similar problem with urinary incontinence and urgency that was mainly caused by artificial sweeteners. This was discovered by a urologist over 20 years ago. These sweeteners have evolved over the years, and I am very careful to read the inactive ingredients on labels. I used to think it was just in food, but both prescription and over-the-counter meds contain these sweeteners as inactive ingredients.
