UTI'S -- Is The Baking Soda Necessary?!
Question: UTI'S -- Is The Baking Soda Necessary.?
To prevent recurrence of UTI's the doctor has me taking:
morning: 500mg Vitamin C
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
bedtime: 500mg cranberry
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
I guess it's working because there's been no recurrence but my blood pressure has gone sky high. I know it's the baking soda because that is mostly salt. Could I just skip the baking soda.? Would the cranberry and C be enough.? Thanks.Health Question & Answer

I've only had 1, but cranberry juice helped a lot. There are also cranberry pills in the vitamin section of the store, and AZO Standard (also available in Cranberry) - either one is good for UTI's (over the counter drugs).Health Question & Answer
