Thebody's natural defenses which normally keep the urethra clean includethe antimicrobial surface of the bladder itself, the removal ofbacteria during urination, and urine pH that is normally unsuitable forthe growth of gram negative bacteria. A healthy bladder normally has asterile environment and is designed to remain so. Four to eight times aday flushing of any bacteria or other unwanted debris occurs duringurination. Generous fluid intake, around 8 glasses of water, ensuresefficient flushing. Drinking plenty of fluids also dilutes the urine,lowering the concentration of bacteria that might be present.Restricting fluids can increase the concentration of urine and ofirritants in the bladder. Mostwomen with IC find some correlation between their symptoms and certainfoods. This is highly individual, but the most problematic foods seemto be: avocados, bananas, cranberries, peaches, strawberries, tomatoes,tofu, fava beans, lima beans, nuts, vinegar, yogurt, sharp cheeses,some herbal teas, white flour products, and brewer's yeast. Stimulantssuch as coffee, black tea, green tea, alcohol, tobacco, chocolate, andsex (even with oneself) may exacerbate symptoms, alas. Dyes and bindersin most supplements aggravate symptoms, as do food preservatives, fooddyes, carbonated sodas and waters, aspartame, and saccharine too.Lactobacillus acidophilusThis probiotic helps to restore the 'good' or 'healthy' bacteria (knownas flora) in your body. When you have an attack of cystitis it may bebeneficial to use a vaginal cream that contains acidophilus as well astaking it orally. Lactobacillus acidophilus is available in a varietyof different forms, including tablets and live organic yoghurts. Forbest effect, you should try to incorporate all of these forms into yourdiet when you are suffering from an attack. Cranberry We've known for some time that cranberries help cystitis and that theysignificantly reduce the bacteria associated with urinary tractinfections. It was originally believed that cranberry juice reduced thesymptoms of cystitis by making the urine more acidic - obviously not adesirable effect, as it is the acidic urine that causes the burningsensation.We now know that cranberries work in a complexly different way. Itseems that certain substances called condensed tannins in cranberriescan stop bacteria such as E. coli from sticking to the walls of theurinary tract. Forbacteria to infect your urinary tract, they must first stick to themucosal (mucous membrane lining) walls of the tract. If they are unableto do so, they cannot multiply and are flushed from the body when youurinate. If you have had chronic cystitis in the past, it is worthusing cranberries as a preventative measure.Expiration dates are all 2014 or longer, items are freshly made or packed so rest assured you get the FRESHEST of what you buy.
