How Cranberry Juice Can Help UTIs
The above video is a brief explanation of how cranberry juice supposedly helps those suffering from urinary tract infections. I personally have never been able to drink cranberry juice - it has the same affect on me as orange juice and it tears my bladder up. Even back before I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis I was never able to drink cranberry juice. I have heard other people swear by how well it helps, so you have to decide for yourself whether or not to give it a try.
The best thing I have personally found to help relieve the burning and pain from a UTI is to drink plenty of water along with seeing your doctor for medications to fight the infection.
What do you think? Are you able to drink cranberry juice when you have a UTI or with your IC Disease? Let me know in the comments!
