Hi Dawnlyn,
Good luck Friday and let me know how you are doing and if the doc says it is ok for the cranberry capsules. I read in my Prevention magazine that they actually work, so hope he tells you that too. Take care and hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for advice, I am not sure I have UTI I guess dr will tell me this Friday.  I am feeling better though.  I diluted the  Cranberry Juice this morning and that did seem to help with Heartburn.  Once cleared up I will dr. if okay to take the capsules.

Love

I was having trouble with always "feeling" like I had a UTI and I would get it checked and then I wouldn't have one. Now I take a daily cranberry capsule and I haven't had any trouble. I don't think they work as well once you have an UTI.  But you can also take Uristat to relieve the symptoms. That works right away. It will turn your urine orange in color and sometimes can stain your underwear. I hope you get some relief soon! Hugs, Colleen

Try cutting the cranberry juice with water.  Tums should control the heartburn if it gets too bad.  Good luck.  Judy

Thanks Angie, I have been drinking the cranberry juice was wondering about the capsules.  Not feeling to bad now. So I guess I will wait until Friday unless flare up gets worse.

I would try to get in earlier if you are feeling bad , Friday is along way off when you feel like that. Sorry don,t  know anything about the cranberry capsules but would think myself personally that it would be better to drink cranberry juice as it actually goes throught the bladder and would maybe more beneficial during a flare up .

Take care , Best wishes Angie
