Frequent UTIs
by: Kathy on Wed, Jul 09 2008

I have had recurring UTIs for the last 6 years, particularly as of late. It seems as though every week I am fighting another off. I try to avoid taking antibiotics and “curing” it myself as I know antibiotics can make the problem worse over time and kill the good bacteria needed to sustain a healthy immune system and kill bad bacteria.
I drink plenty of water every day, drink pure undiluted and unsweetened cranberry juice, take herbal supplements incl. uva ursi, a UTI proprietary blend, cranberry capsules, ensure good hygiene, and try to eat healthy. Yet I still suffer from these UTI’s all the time. I am going to see a Urologist tomorrow and hopefully they can provide some insight. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know! I particularly am interested in any natural remedies Thanks.
