Re: [QUAD-L] The sediment in my urine

[kaye allard]

The best thing that has worked for me is cranberry capsules or gelcaps.  You can get them in as much as 1000 mg per cap from a supplement store and take a couple 1000 mg a few times a day.  They even have some at some grocery stores.  I have also gone to the naturopath (bastyr university in Seattle has sliding scale for low income), a few actually, who have made some awesome tinctures with concentrated herbs that worked.

I have been told that vitamin C can irritate the bladder, but that is controvertial and depends on your body of course.  It did work for me at one point. 

I also think that cutting out a lot of sugar and taking a multivitamin has helped.  I was told asparagus is supposed to help, as well as blueberries!  Also unsweetened cranberry juice which is tolerable when diluted.  I like it in the summer with 1/2 water and with ice, but it's expensive.

good luck!

Hello everyone,

I need your help.  For the past two years I have suffered from alot of sediment in my urine.  I have tried flushing the Foley, taking tablets of vitamin C, cut out calcium and have drunk lots of water but my problem still persists.

 

My Foley has clogged more times than I can count and I am tired of being soaked with urine.  Is there any advice or suggestions any of you could offer me such as diets, drugs or anything that has benefited any of you with similar problems.  I would be most appreciative.

Thanks

Dillon
