Probiotics
Ashley in Fresno, Ca -
I have suffered for the past year from chronic bladder infections... (at least one a month).
I have tried so many things, and nothing has worked, except for probiotics.
I found probiotics at a health food store. It was a high dose, 50 billion live cultures.
My bladder infection went completely away after two days.

Lemonade
me in washington -When I first start to get the symptoms I drink lemonade but instead of sugar use salt (gross but does the trick) may work more effectively if you drink it hot/warm.

Root Beer
Anonymous in Tennessee -I have suffered from bladder infections since I was a child. Once I felt the burning coming on and I was not at home or anywhere I could get cranberry juice (only soda machines) someone told me to drink some Root Beer (which was in the soda machine) . It does not cure a bladder infection but it temporarily numbs the burning until you can get other help. It sure worked!

I agree about D-mannose and...
Ella McBroome in Seattle, WA -I have always drunk buckets of natural, unsweetened cranberry juice sweetened with a bit of apple cider at first sign of a UTI. It has worked pretty well over the years, but last year a worker at a vitamin shop recommended that I ALSO take a D-mannose capsule each day, I was blown away by how swiftly and completely the infection disappeared. I agree with the previous poster and highly recommend this supplement. (Don't know the brand name but I think the product was called D-Mannose with CranActin.)

100% Grape Juice - Purple
mlj3 in Tuscaloosa, AL -I get a UTI about once every 1-2 years. As soon as those horrible uncomfortable symptoms of a UTI begin, I find at least a 20oz. bottle of Welch's 100% pure grape juice. I drink the whole bottle within a few minutes and hold my urine as long as I can. It burns this first time, but after that I have no other s/s of the UTI. Cranberry juice doesn't work for me as it does for some, but the 100% grape juice (purple) has never failed me. I've never taken an antibiotic for a UTI.
I have done this since I was a teenager, for over 20 years, and it has worked every time.

D-Mannose
Kristy in USA -This is by far the greatest bladder infection cure I've ever taken! You can get it at a health food store or online from several different places.
It is a sugar that your body can't really digest so it goes directly into your urinary tract (Kidneys/bladder/the works) and the bacteria causing the UTI attaches itself to the sugar rather than your body and flushes the bacteria out the next time you urinate.
I suffer from re-ccuring UTI's (at least once a year) but ever since I found this cure, it is no longer a painful problem. D-mannose will work for about 90% of bladder infections out there (because not all UTI's are caused by bacteria)so if you have a bladder infection, this will probably work for you. It changed my life, and it can change yours too!
D-mannose is about $10.00, and if you feel a bladder infection coming, just take one a day for a few days and that's it!
Google D-mannose for better information. It's amazing!

Double wammy
Leah in Chicago, IL -At the first twinge of pain down there I immediately grab for my water and alkaseltzers (the kind for heartburn that DOESN'T have aspirin in it) and start alkalizing myself with these and through diet (look up an alkaline diet). I then start d-mannose about every 2 -3 hrs (I use powder 1tsp in a glass of water). That does the trick in about a day or two. If it gets worse after that I go see my acupuncturist and he does a great treatment on me and gives me some herbs to take.

Urinary Tract Infection/Bladder Infection
D. Webster in San Diego, CA -Cranberry Juice and Baking Soda did the trick -- it took less than 24 hours.
I bought the unsweetened cranberry juice (very sour) and a box of baking soda (total cost was less than $4.00)
I mixed equal parts cranberry juice and water (about 8 oz. total)and drank it every two hours with a glass of water between each dose. It tastes pretty gross since it is unsweetened, but I just hold my nose and gulp it down.
I also mixed 1/2 tsp. baking soda with 8 oz. water
and drank it once in the morning and once before bed.
I started at about 11 in the morning and was better the next day. You can premix your cranberry solution and bring it in a water bottle if you have to go to work.
Also, stay away from caffeine and sugary foods until you feel better.
I saved myself a trip to the doctor (I ended up cancelling my appointment)and also saved money.
***This is important***
This kind of infection is very uncomfortable and painful, especially when you are urinating. So we tend to want to avoid liquids because we think that we will have to go more often, which would lead to more pain. THIS NOT THE CASE. I know this from experience because when my bladder wasn't full and I had to pee, it hurt more than when my bladder was full.
Drink a lot of liquid and it will actually feel better to use the bathroom.
Good luck!
