Eve,
I'm not a Dr, and I don't know why htis works, but I my grandmother used
to have UTIs all the time. She started drinking Cranberry juice and
found that it REALLY helped...the infection would right itself quickly
(often with medications) but if she drank a cranberry juice on a regular
basis, it would help prevent them as well.
I know I've had similar success with cranberry juice on the rare
occasion that I've had UTI. If you haven't tried it, you might give it
a whirl.
