Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 I don't know about other people, but cranberry juice has never helped me get rid of a UTI. It has helped prevent them I'm sure, but not get rid of them.

As soon as one would clear up and I'd get over the side effects of the antiobiotic, I'd get another. I tried everything I could get my hands on, but had never heard of the lemon juice thing. Cranberry juice never helped cure or prevent them, as far as I could tell. I finally got a strong enough antiobiotic (for a finger injury, ironically!) and put a stop to it. Then, this past spring, I got another one. I took cranberry capsules, echnicia, zinc, drank cranberry juice, and took the antiobiotic. That seemed to work. And, I didn't have the usual side effects from the antiobioc. I don't know which part of it worked, but I know what I'm doing if I ever get another one: all the above plus the lemon juice thing! hahaha -Lori Sign up for SBC Dial - First Month Free http://sbc.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 cranberry is very helpful for some folks, perhaps the majority, but if there are antibiotics involved and yeast/uti infections, you might consider a full spectrum intestinal flora like UDO's probiotics. bob > > I don't know about other people, but cranberry > juice has > > never helped me > > get rid of a UTI.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 not sure that it would be in a medical dictionary. Udo's is a brand name, probiotics is pretty common. It refers to the full spectrum intestinal flora that is destroyed when taking antibiotics. Antibiotics are very effective in killing bacteria, this is good and bad. Good in that the offending bacteria are usually killed but also the good bacteria that are needed for proper digestion are also destroyed. This causes an imbalance in our body with common side effects of constipation or diarrhea and often yeast infections in women. The full spectrum includes acidofillus, lactobacillus and a few others that I can't think of. From what I have read it should contain " FOS " which a can't remember what that stands for at the moment. My personal soap box about the overuse of antibiotics is that most often doctors do not test to see if the problem is virus or bacteria, (all those times you go to see the doc for a bad flu and he gave you antibiotics...Flu is influenza virus...and uneffected by anti-biotic/bacteria.) There are specific antibiotics for certain bacterial infections. To properly Rx you must do a quick swab or test. But it is easier and faster to just hit folks with the strongest full spectrum antibiotic. and lets not start on creating resistant strains from over use.... stepping down from my box now...
