Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hi, all, your input and expertise is urgently requested! I believe I am coming down with a urinary tract infection; I've only dealt with this twice before in my life, several years ago, and I would like to avoid the antibiotics if possible. Has anyone any idea what I should do food-wise to deal with this? Would water fasting for a few days help? Just juice? I am just at the beginning, but I'm traveling for the weekend, and may just have to break down and call the doctor tomorrow. ANy help would be appreciated... Peace, Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hello Valerie. I just recently went through this as well. What I did to curb my UTI was to fast on fresh cranberry juice, fresh black cherry juice and water. I did this for two days and the UTI seemed to go away on its own. The only side effect that I had from this was my blood sugar went out of wack, but then, I am diabetic, so that was to be expected. I hope this helps! I am sure someone with more expertise will be able to give you better advice though. Best wishes, Ravyne Valerie Mills Daly <valdaly wrote: Hi, all, your input and expertise is urgently requested!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Thanks, Ravyne; I've had nothing but water (and lots of it!) since it started last night, and while some of the symptoms are still there, there has been a lot less pain. I'm going to stick with water for now and see what happens. Thanks for the input! Valerie Ravyne Hawke <ravyne_hawke wrote: Hello Valerie. I just recently went through this as well.
