BACKGROUND: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common problem with unclear etiology. Some diet and lifestyle factors were thought to correlate with CP/CPPS, but studies comprehensively investigate this correlation are rarely available. The current study was conducted to determine the potential lifestyle-related risk factors of CP/CPPS and its pain severity in Chinese population.

METHODS: Participants were recruited from seven hospitals in Shanghai from July 2012 to August 2013. Demographics, medical history, diet and lifestyle information, and CP/CPPS symptoms were obtained from each participant using a questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify potential lifestyle-related risk factors for CP/CPPS and its pain severity.

RESULTS: A total of 784 men with CP/CPPS and 785 controls were enrolled in this study. Multivariate regression model indicated that age, nightshift work, stress, smoking status, alcohol consumption, less water intake, imbalanced diet, frequent sexual activity, delaying ejaculation and holding urine were identified as potential risk factors for CP/CPPS, whereas sedentary lifestyle, caffeinated drinks and less water intake were associated with severe pain in CP/CPPS patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Several diet and lifestyle factors associated with CP/CPPS and pain severity were determined in this study. These modifiable conditions are potential targets for treatment of CP/CPPS. However, further studies are necessary to determine their role in the pathogenesis of CP/CPPS

That site is a Larry Clapp site. Larry Clapp is a quack. Here's an old comment:

Larry Clapp and Prostate90.com:
Read the website and you'll know all you need to know. He says things
like "prostatitis is, in most views, a precursor to prostate cancer"
(a statement for which I have seen no evidence anywhere) and "BPH is a
result of prostatitis" which is patently untrue. By now he may have
changed these statements (he monitors this group), but, believe me, he
DID say it! His website hawks Ron Wheeler's Peenuts product as well as
a potpourri of herbs. What can I tell you? Must I draw you a picture?
It's pure Clapptrap.

Yes, dairy is a common allergen and trigger food. Lactose intolerance is very common, provoking IBS, and the nerves linked to the lower bowel can flare up CPPS.
