UTI question for a friend

[Indadhanu]

I used to get UTIs constantly, and was prescribed antibiotics so much!

I finally saw a dr (who also practised natural medicine!) and she recommended 450mL cranberry juice a day (no added sugar, though it can be sweetened with 50-100mL of pure apple or grape juice) or 250mL blueberry juice, or cranberry extract tablets (Bio-organics have one called 'cranberry 10000 + acidophilus'). I just drunk the juice, because I'm crazy and I liked it

I guess she's probably tried those though...

Goldenseal 500mg is often used ...
Also she could look around for a cranberry extract supplement that includes Uva Ursi (I know Nutra-Life make one).
BUT... she can't use those two (goldenseal or uva ursi) if she is pregnant or breastfeeding.

Hope this helps.

If your friend lives in SE Qld I can PM you the dr's name and practice? She works in a womans only practice on Brisbane southside.
