Did you use cranberry juice for bladder infections?

I learned a long time ago that cranberry juice is good for bladder infections, but I can't stand plain cranberry juice, so I drink cran-grape juice. Yesterday my vet told me that it's good for my cat too...if she'll drink it. Do you drink cranberry juice for infections?

Yes as a matter of fact this morning I was in pain from my urinary tract. I knew I had better drink some cranberry juice. I also have cranberry pills that I bought but the juice seems to help me better.

I prefer the juice too, just as long as it's sweetened with apple juice or grape juice.

I will drink it if I feel like I am getting an infection, and it works right away!! I don't get them very often though thankfully!! I love cranberry juice!!!

I love cran-grape juice, so I drink it a lot of time just 'cause I want to. But it also helps prevent me from getting sick!

I drink cranberry juice with a little bit of water for bladder or urinary tract infections. I actually buy cranberry juice concentrate from the health food store and take shots of that with water. Boy is it tangy.

I drink cranberry juice pretty much all the time, though only in blended formats. Apple-cranberry and cranberry-raspberry are my two favorites. I think that as long as it's 100% juice, it's good for me, and might help me avoid getting bladder infections. Knock on wood, I haven't had one for a good long while now!
