Christine, bladder infections
Christine,
Bladder infections can come about from not drinking enough water to flush
bacteria out of the system. I noticed you said you were still having
trouble getting in enough fluids. Is what you ARE getting in water or
colored drinks? Colored drinks also contribute towards bladder infection.
Get yourself some cranberry extract pills (I got mine from Wal-Mart) and
some Cystex (a pill that helps with the pain and frequency of bladder
infections and helps with the acidity in the bladder), also available from
Wal-Mart or most any drug store. Of course, if you haven’t already seen
your pc doc for this, you should. Bladder infections very easily move to
the kidneys and you may not even know it. The doc can prescribe antibiotics
to help kill the bacteria. Of course, if you’ve already done this and the
infections just come back, then the other suggestions I gave will help.
Cranberries change the acidity in the bladder and help keep bacteria from
forming. Thus the cranberry extract pills.
Hope this helps!
