I think so. My roommate in college used to get them and her doctor told her to drink it regularly as a preventitive measure. But you have to make sure its the 100 percent juice and not the cranberry juice cocktail stuff.

And funnily enough, I've heard that Alka Seltzer helps too - 2 tabs. Haven't tried it but I know people who have

Yep. In the past, if I started to feel like I was getting one I would drink cranberry juice and lots of water. It works like a charm!!

yes, it helps relieve the symptoms, but if you have an infection i recommend going to the dr to see if you need antibiotics. otherwise the infection can spread to your kidneys and that's bad. trust me...

yes, my dr. also told me that the minute you start to feel you are getting one, take vitamin c pills, it will knock the infection out.

Like others have mentioned, Cranberry Juice is good for prevention, not treatment. If you have an infection go to a doctor!!!

Its also important to know...that only 100% cranberry juice can help. I found that out when i went to the hospital with a horrible UTI..my doctor said sugary cranberry juice can make infections worse. The capsules are the best to take..
