I've read online about cranberry juice & even supplements with nutmeg in them that is supposed to help. Does anyone know of anything else that could help?

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 There may be a number of structural conditions at play here. If you haven't already done so, I recommend that your doctor be consulted. In the short run, bathing in bubble baths can often irritate and cause UTI's; also improper wiping of her bottom, irritating detergents, clothing that is too tight or that is not made from natural fibers can add to the potential for UTI's. Not having the specifics of her case, I would recommend the often-effective homeopathic remedy, Cantharis. At first signs of symptoms, try 6c Cantharis, three pellets, four times daily for three days. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Wendy, Couple of thoughts here: Fresh cranberry juice with no sweetners is wonderful for UTI, flushing, and water retention. Take 1 bag fresh cranberries and add to boiling water. Remove pan from burner and let sit till skins pop. Strain berries and let juice cool. Use Stevia to sweeten. You can add more water to dilute if necessary. I use this at the first sign of bladder irritation or distress. Also how your daughter wipes after she goes to the bathroom will make a difference. She should be wipping from front to back. Often times UTI's will be caused when women and girls wipe from back to front introducing the bacteria etc from the bowels into the Urethra area. Another thought is that she could be allergic to the toilet tissue you use. Often times perfume and dyes can create allergic reactions that bring on UTI's. My mother is one of those that has that problem. Pure white tissue with no perfume or colorings.You could even use one of the green product papers that doesn't have the chlorine used to bleach it.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 IT sounds like unfortunately your daughter has a uti that likely has never been fully resolved when it first came on. Have her specimen *accurately * tested and for sensitivity by a lab that follows Fuggazzottos's guidelines or send for a mail away test to the Cystitis Research Center. They will accurately give you the pathogen you are facing. Aside from that I would look for an alternate practitioner with a rife machine and get her treated once the pathogen is known. IN the meanwhile keep her on d/mannose and keep fluids going through her and consult your dr about giving her some uristed (OTC) to ease symptoms. If you do not finally cure this is can cause her pure hell the rest of her life. TO for think your obvious question...no not any lab will do and many give inaccurate results. I've lived this....please listen. To not eradicate this can mean bacterial infiltration into the kidneys as well.....nip it off at the pass. you may reply directly if you wish.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Girls with recurring UTIs are often lacking in probiotics, the good bacteria. It's harmless and worth a try! Ien in the Kootenays http://freegreenliving.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 You can try giving her Uva Ursi supplements, but it should be only continued for one week. To get to the root of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms, however, I would suggest you consult a homeopath. There are a number of remedies that can eradicate what is causing the recurring infections.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 -The cranberry juice leaves an 'acid ash' which is unfriendly to most UT bacteria. Popcorn is also good. Just in case the basics haven't been reviewed, please make sure she is wiping front to back, using no bubble baths, and that she uses cotton panties. Adequate fluids. Also, there may be aggravating activities that she does, i.e. anything that rubs that area riding bikes or horses alot. Have you given her an opportunity to talk about what she may have been doing prior to these occurrences? Are there any patterns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Dandelion capsules of the root and leaf will help a lot. If using cranberry get the fresh frozen caps or unsweetened pure cranberry juice. Parsley also helps. Keep sugar to a minimum in the diet. If this keeps up she should be examined by a Naturopathic Dr. Peace, Thyme ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
