Alanis, we've got another case!

By Arghh - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had an allergic reaction to cranberry juice. The only reason I was drinking cranberry juice was to help with a bladder infection. Now I'm covered in what looks like a rash and peeing constantly. FML

Cranberry Juice is usually more of a "preventative" measure. And if you have a bladder infection, see a doctor because the chances of juice helping THAT drastically is very minimal. Maybe a little bit, but you'd be better off with medication.

You can't get rid of a bladder infection (what I'm assuming is a UTI) without getting antibiotics for it. Trust me, it'll just make it way worse.

A bladder infection can easily become a kidney infection...it's not worth it to not go to a doctor.

I'm guessing u were too lazy to go see a doctor YDI I'm sorry

Cranberry juice doesn't help a bladder infection go away, unless its PURE cranberry juice. You are likely drinking cranberry cocktail. I suggest taking cranberry pills every day to prevent getting bladder infections, they've helped me so much. I hardly ever get bladder infections anymore.

umm water helps for baldder infections too..

do not take the pills that turn your pee orange, it does not cure the infection just relives the pain. It resulted in a kidney infection for me.
