Cranberry juice IS NOT cranberry cocktail by ocenan spray which is full of sugar. So shop carefully.

We spend the winter in Florida, where I swim 3 days a week in a pool that only adults use. I never get a UTI in the winter months. But when I return home and swim in a pool where there are children, I invariably get an infection. My doctor says there’s probably no connection, but I have stopped swimming in the summer. Plus I drink the unsweetened cranberry juice now. But I can’t help but think that swimming where little children routinely void their bladders in the water can be dangerous to us senior citizens.

I was plagued with utis and did all the things but to no avail. I started taking cranberry capsules and haven't had one for many years. One cap per day worked for me. Thanks docs.

In college, I had back to back UTI and yeast infections. I finally went gunho, washed and boiled my underwear, did a major grapefruit extract for 6 weeks, improved hygiene before after intercourse, change underclothes regularly. I still get UTIs about twice a year when I forget to stay well hydrated but drink unsugared cranberry juice. Helps tremendously

I can not handle antibiotics. It’s messed with my intestinal flora badly. So when I get UTI’s I take cranberry supplements in capsule form which my family doctor recommended and told me how to take daily until all symptoms are gone. (I DID NOT take the juice form because I’m too affected by sugars and so don’t recommended it being treated that way because of the sugar load BUT if it doesn’t bother you than more powa to you!) And they work with PERFECTION. Even my Step-Dad who is an Orthodontist had a urinary infection that wasn’t responding properly to antibiotics. So I finally told him to try adding in the Cranberry supplement capsules. And FINALLY it cleared. So I believe! He did also. Cranberry all the way all day! Lol! 😉🍒

I used to drink cranberry when I felt a UTI coming on. I had frequent infections and was then later treated for that underlying issue. But cranberry really preserved my quality of life for ages.

Cranberry juice, d-mannose, or potassium citrate all seem to accelerate the transit time for me, and then, not holding it , but voiding frequently and fully.

D-Mannose supplements have both cured and prevented UTIs for me... and they were NEVER suggested or mentioned by physicians treating the chronic UTIs I struggled with for 6 months in 2023. We need our docs to be better educated and to also care about treatments that don't work to increase their profit margin!!!

During the early years of menopause, I had what I would call overactive bladder where I felt I needed to go too often, or had similar symptoms to a mild(ish) UTI. I started drinking an ounce of unsweeetened cranberry juice in 8 ounces of water daily, and that whole problem went away. I did this for about 4 years. I don’t need to do this daily now, but occasionally I feel those early sensations of bladder pain and get right on the cranberry juice. No UTI’s treated with antibiotics now for over 20 years.
