Friends,

Warning:  Non-bf related, personal question.  Please answer off list.... and
skip if you like.  I'm coming to you because over the last several years I've
found that lactation consultants often have answers to things that allopathic
medicine doesn't -- or doesn't care to figure out.....so......

My oldest daughter, age 26 -- an RN, btw, is suffering from frequent (to the
point of chronic) miserable bladder infections.  She's seeing a urologist who
does a urinalysis and puts her on antibiotics which takes care of the
immediate problem and for awhile afterwards -- but then it hits again.  It
doesn't help, of course, that she works 12 hour shifts in an extremely busy
ER and that drinking copious amounts of water and peeing frequently are NOT
encouraged.....(nurses take care of everyone else but themselves...).  She
knows what to do and what not to do in terms of bladder hygiene.  My question
is, does anyone have any ideas about what she could do prophylactically?
Cranberry capsules?  I'm thinking she probably now has a chronic inflammation
which is precipitating these episodes and that low dose ATC NSAIDS might
relieve that.  Any other ideas for herbal preps that might help?

TIA

Jan Barger
