Just what I've always wanted.

Could this problem be realted to too much protein? I know I have not been getting in all the liquids I need and am aware that this probably added to it.

Other than the horse sized pills I'm taking any suggestions? I tried light cranberry juice, bu****ered that down due to the sugar grams.

Thanks.

Most likely due to not enough water r- dehydration.
Instead of cranberry juice - use cranberry pills - caps. No sugar and easy to take. I use them all the time. And have a real strength to it. Also - start taking probiotics. Pills. the amount in yogurt are not enough.
And drink water. Lots of water. avoid sugar - any sugar.

Some of us are just prone to UTIs. In order to not get a UTI I have to drink at least 64 ounces if not more. Go for the cranberry capsules or the chewables.

Next time you have a catheter placed ask them if you have a kink in your urethra. That will also make it harder to wash the bacteria out when you urinate.
