Bladder Infections: A Natural Remedy for Bladder Infections

Have you been on the bladder infection rollercoaster? You get a bladder infection, you take antibiotics, you get a yeast infections, a few days laster your bladder infection returns and so on and so on.

Antibiotics are good at killing harmful bacteria in our bodies. However, they kill all the bacteria in our body and that includes the good bacteria too. The good bacteria in our bodies are need to fight harmful substances, help vitamins be absorbed and assist our immune system. If you do not have enough good bacteria in your system you will get an overgrowth of yeast (candida) and it causes the yeast infections and bladder infections.

I have tried numerous natural remedies and they work mildly. I have tried cranberry juice, vitamin C, baking soda but have still had to go on antibiotics in the end.

The one thing that I found that does work is:
1. First to avoid sugar while you are trying to get rid of your bladder infection. The sugar feeds the overgrowth of the bacteria and makes it harder to get rid of the bacteria.
2. Second start taking a probiotic supplement can restore your body's supply of these beneficial bacteria.

Not all probiotics are the same and it may take time to find the right one for you. For me, the best one is acidopholis that is dairy free. Try your local pharmacy or health food store to find one that works for you. Take the probiotics during the course of your antibiotic treatment and continue to take them to maintain the healthy bacteria in your system. The probiotics will not interfere with your medication.

If you feel like you may be on the verge of getting a bladder infection, take 2 capsules every couple of hours until your symptoms improve. This can you avoid the need for antibiotics.

Before starting any treatment you may want to check with your doctor. If you want additional help with natural remedies for your bladder infection www.stayhealthynaturally.info.
