The pain hit tonight. I'm drinking gallons of water & unsweetened cranberry juice, and peeing every 10 min or so, but it doesn't seem to be working...

Mainly I really want to avoid going to the doctor and being put on antibiotics -- again. I want to cure this naturally, if at all possible.

I think you should concewntrate on just drinking the cranbeery juice. I health class we learned that cranberry juice gets rid of UTI because its acidic. I htink maybe that you drinking alot of water as well as the cranberry juice you could be messing up the acidic qualities to it, which gets rid of the UTI. try out tomorrow and see what happens then. Good luck to you!
We also learned that spices and caffine and alcohol also increase your risk for a UTI so your more likely to get it around the holiday season =)

Have you tried Prydium, the little red pill, for the pain? I have used this before and it has worked. I recently had to go to the doc for one. She confirmed that sugar does not matter in the cran juice. She said that only diabetics would find sugar in their urine. She did say that alcohol could cause problems.

You're on the right track, beer helps too. You can purchase a product called Azo-Standard in your local drugstore for UTI's before they get bad. It does help stave one off. Make sure you urinate soon after intercourse if you are sexually active, as sex pushes bacteria into the urethal opening and can lead to UTI.

It is not worth it! Prevention done naturally is one thing, but once you have it, go to the doctor! I made this mistake once before and it turned into a horrid kidney infection. Boy, was it painful!! I'll never make that mistake again!

I usually keep "Azo" on hand. It helps with the pain and discomfort, and can usually help it go away if you catch it early enough. You can but it at Wal-Mart or drug store.

Why is it so imperative that you cure it "naturally?"
