try to drink unsweetened cran juice if you can find it and tolerate it.......sugars can make a UTI worse.

Lots of water helps as well to flush the system.

Teas (any of these......3 C/day) : corn silk, dandelion, nettles, catnip.

Hot/warm compresses across the kidneys along lower back can relieve pain and ease urination.

Hot and cold sitz baths to release fluids and flush out acids.

Avoid: caffeine, black tea, tomatoes, pop, salty and fatty foods and pasturized dairy.

In acute stage you can take 2 TBSP cider vinegar and honey in h2o in morning, cottage cheese for lunch, and a glass of white wine at night.
