Cranberry is widely available (at least it was around the Pattaya area when I lived there). Failing that, order online from Tops: https://www.tops.co.th/en/ocean-spray-cranberry-juice-1000ml-0031200449481 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Frozen cranberries from Makro would be the same you'd think, 169 baht a kg, cheaper than fruit juice anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Tops has cranberry juice and so often does Tesco Lotus. Can also be ordered on Shoppee. Easy to get. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 The cranberry juices available in the supermarkets are usually cranberry drinks - not pure cranberry juice. You'd need to check the labels to see what percentage of cranberry is in them. Pure juice is available here however, but expensive, for example https://www.biokiathailand.com/product/organic-wild-cranberry-juice/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozimoron Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Pomegranate juice is full of antioxidants and Vitamin C, which is beneficial when suffering from UTI. The antioxidant properties prevent bacteria from latching onto the walls of the bladder, while Vitamin C helps to boost the immune system and fight off infections. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/home-remedies/have-a-glass-of-pomegranate-juice-every-day-to-can-keep-uti-at-bay/articleshow/70074130.cms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herfiehandbag Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Pomegranate juice is also supposed to be good for the heart! A mixed berry juice which includes cherry, pomegranate and cranberry is also widely available. As many have said, "Ocean Spray" cranberry juice is available on Tops, I have also bought it from Lazada. Personally I drink a glass of each a day.

rwill Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 What to drink for UTI Notice it says unsweetened cranberry juice. I'd go with scuba's suggestion and get the frozen cranberries and make your own juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surasak Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 You could try a 7 day course of Trimethoprim from the local pharmacy. It is still possibly available over the counter. Are you a big coffee drinker? That 'could' possibly be a contributing cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The problem with cranberry juice is that it's loaded with sugar as cranberries are very sour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 D-mannose found in Cranberry Juice............. Research suggests that supplemented D-mannose could be a promising alternative or complementary remedy especially as a prophylaxis for recurrent UTIs. When excreted in urine, D-mannose potentially inhibits Escherichia coli, the main causative organism of UTIs, from attaching to urothelium and causing infection. Bear in mind that if one already has a UTI then this will not be of much help. So clear up the UTI with an antibiotic then take D-mannose or pure cranberry juice on a daily basis. Alternatively, Hiprex tablets taken twice daily have shown great results......buy online or from Chemists in OZ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Thanks to all for the assistance I was obviously wrong about the availability of cranberry juice and we purchased some along with medication recommended by an actual pharmacist. Her UTI seems to be resolved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A follow up to the d-mannose/cranberry juice 'treatment" suggests that it may not be of much help according to recent research, but I can vouch for Hiprex tablets...............for me anyway!! D-Mannose Fails to Prevent Recurrent UTIs D-mannose did not reduce the proportion of women with recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI), the randomized, placebo-controlled MERIT trial showed. Over the 6-month study period, 51% of women taking 2-g D-mannose powder daily had a further episode of a suspected UTI for which they contacted ambulatory care compared with 55.7% of women taking a fructose-based placebo powder (P=0.26), reported Gail Hayward, DPhil, of Oxford University in England, and colleagues in JAMA Internal Medicine. Based on the results of the trial, "D-mannose should not be recommended by GPs as a way for women presenting to primary care with recurrent UTI to avoid having more episodes," Hayward added. https://www.medpagetoday.com/urology/urology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
