I'm not on any medication. I'm drinking the large amounts of unsweetened cranberry juice -- and water -- to cure it naturally. (I've done this successfully in the past.)

Cranberry only works for cystitis. A UTI may need proper medical treatment, especially if it's recurrent.
The loose stools could be from the cranberry, but I'd have thought you'd have had that symptom before if that's what you've been taking to treat the infection.
I'd see a doctor, or get tested at a local clinic, or both.

it is near impossible to find pure cranberry juice organic or not. It is way to tart to drink. I suspect that it also had a good amount of sugar in it and that may be the reason for the diarrhea. Sugar makes UTI worse.But cranberry absolutely works and has since the dawn of herbal medicine in Europe and with the native American Indians. To get the benefit of cranberry you gotta buy capsules and follow the directions for dosing

Yes! Fruit juices work as a natural laxative. Be careful when you wipe after diarrhea. Remember front to back. You may want to just drink water for a while and not so much cranberry juice

It could be. I recommend taking the cranberry supplement pills instead. That way it is JUST cranberry that you are taking. And if you drink lots of water with them that should keep you very well hydrated and no diarrhea!

Cranberry juice usually contains alot of sugar to make it pleasing to drink..and if there are other fruit juices in there..that can give you diarrhea.
If you are taking meds for your UTI..it is not unusual to experience loose movements either.
Call your doctor or nurse..for expert advice.

I doubt it, it is probably the UTI. Normal affect during infection. Possible it could be the antibiotic as well
