Ok, so I think I'm getting a kidney infection...although I've only had 2 or so I'm my life, I always drank cranberry juice to help it go away. Well now that all I can have is water, what am I suppose to do?

Ocean Spray has a Diet Cranberry that has less than 1 gram of sugar. I just finished a 10 oz bottle. It also comes in a large bottle. Hope you feel better soon.
And what constitutes a "normal" kidney infection?
Sorry..normal bladder infection.. Thats what I meant that I think I'm getting...i hate that my fingers are faster than my brain!!
UTI (urinary track infection) is cystitis and it makes you pee alot and often painfully. It is primarily in the bladder. As an EMT I have seen many women not treat their UTI and the germs worked their way up to the kidneys and that can be very serious. I know years back they would inject some dye into a urinary catheter and see what happened when it hit the kidneys on an Xray scan. I hope there is an easier way to check it out, but you really do not want to have cranberry juice as your only way to treat a UTI.
I just feel the sensation to urine..but don't actually!!
Kidney Infection (Pyelonephritis): Symptoms, Treatments, and Causes
hope this helps explain things..with cystitis you always feel like you want to pee but can't.
Thanks Jane!
Yea...of course I am suppose to drink a butt load of water and can have decaf tea and coffee...can also have Gatorade..no juice. I stick to just water because I want sweet tea, sweet and low is fine, but I still have to drink all my water too...thats sooo much drinking. If something else counted as my water..oh yeah..id drink it in a heartbeat!!
