For those of you suffering from occasional
to constant urinary track infections
and/or kidney stones/infections. I
would highly suggest taking cranberry
supplement pills regularly. They have
helped me sooo much; it's been years since
I have had a bladder infection. You can
pick them up almost anywhere (i.E.
Internet, grocery, nutritional and
pharmacy stores) there are hundreds of
brands and should all work about the same.
Just continue to drink plenty of water
and also another side note for you women
mainly; using the restroom to urinate
after intercourse is a really good idea
too!
Best regards to you all!

Good to know. I'm only 16, and I get
kidney infections pretty often, and have
been for just over a year now. I'm not
even sexually active. And i'm also a very
clean person, like I shower at least once
a day and stuff, but my doctor just told
me that sometimes people are more prone
then others. She put me on a preventative
for 6 months, but I stopped taking it
because i'm also on birth control, and me
and my boyfriend have been together for
almost 9 months, (we haven't had sex, but
who knows when we might) so basically I
would rather have another kidney infection
then get pregnant. But I guess the
cranberry pills would be a good option for
me, especially since I seem to get a
kidney infection about once every 3
months. So thanks for that information :)

Lol that's funny, we have almost the same
screenname, and in a different forum, I
suggested azo cranberry pills to a
pregnant woman with a uti.
As i'm sure you are aware of, if you do
get another uti, the drug pyridium is a
godsend, although the color change of the
urine does take some time to get used to
o_o...
I also hear that some people are sensitive
to getting uti's if they drink alot of
caffeinated beverages (tea, coffee, soda,
etc.)
