That sounds weird, I don't use sugar and hardly eat things with sugar (too weight consciencious) most UTI's are caused from improper wiping or intercourse, feel embarressed to give you more "details". Even if you do not completley empty your bladder or hold it for too long can trigger problems. If you are diabetic (using pill form med or insulin injections) you can be more prone to these problems. I do not want to sound like a "know it all" but after having all these problems and painful tests, and still get occasional bouts of UTI's I made it my duty to educate myself the best I can about this problem, with the aid of doctor's info and reading. Also premenopausal symptoms include various bladder problems due to decline in estrogen, I do not know your age but it is another factor, thyroid dysfunction is also another. Yes, cranberry capsules are terrific, I take 1000 mgs a day, I get them at GNC.
Sorry for the lengthy reply
