Cranberry for UTIs

2 replies

GrassW1dow · 23/08/2016 12:48

I'm told cranberry is actually pretty useless once you have a UTI infection. But it's good as a preventative measure, so you should take one or more tablets every day (if you're prone to UTIs).

Anyone have any experience of taking cranberry regularly as a preventative measure?

I am so down about yet another UTI. Only happens after sex. Which makes me a bit apprehensive about sex.

D-mannose is very good if your UTI is caused by the E. coli bug. I've used herbs like uva ursi, buchu &cornsilk as well as high strength garlic for uti's - good to catch infection early if you're using natural remedies, not sure they're as effective if it starts heading to your kidneys. X

Oh and make sure you pee after sex!
