I've had kidney problems all my life and know all the do's and don'ts of how to prevent infections. For the last year and a half I've had UTI's almost every month (always after intercourse) and have been married almost 9 years. I tried every preventative home remedy - Super Strength Cranberry tablets, D-Mannose, Chinese Herbs, Ural Sachets and drinking loads and loads of water till it made me sick. 9 times out of 10 these did nothing to help prevent or clear up my infections and I'd end up having to take Antibiotics (which I hate) to get rid of the UTI. I was starting to get depressed and dreaded having sex with my husband because I knew the end result would be another infection.
A couple of months ago a friend of mine (who knew I had this problem) sent me an email about Asparagus and the health benefits of this amazing plant. I thought I'd give it a go especially since I'd tried everything else on the market and to my amazement I haven't had a UTI since. I eat around 5 to 6 sprigs (canned asparagus) in the morning and the same at night. I'm also getting the added health benefits which is a bonus! I am not affiliated in anyway with any Asparagus companies or know anyone that is, but wanted to post this because its helped me get back to a normal life and it may help others who are constantly suffering from these annoying infections...
