What to Eat During UTI
Some foods and drinks can help reduce symptoms and improve urinary health by providing some of the nutrients the body needs to fight when suffering from a UTI.
- Water: Hydration is key while controlling a UTI. Drink a lot of water for the best flushing of bacteria out of the urinary system 8-10 glasses a day.
- Cranberries/Cranberry Juice: Cranberries harbor chemicals that prevent bacteria from adhering to the walls of urine and other organs in the urinary tract, thus reducing its susceptibility to infections. Unsweetened cranberry juice is also effective.
- Probiotics: Probiotics in yogurt and buttermilk aid the body by providing it with a healthy dose of beneficial bacteria that prevent infections.
- High-fiber Foods: Foods high in fiber such as oats, brown rice, and quinoa help to avoid constipation and therefore would likely have reduced pressure on the bladder for UTI.
- Foods rich in Vitamin C: Oranges, lemons, or kiwi are high in vitamin content, which acidifies the urine – it is very hard for bacteria to survive.
- Leafy greens: Spinach and kale contain antioxidants and other nutrients that boost one’s immunity, so they are excellent in fighting infections.
- Garlic: This is also a natural antibiotic and can be used for detoxification in fighting off infections.

What to Avoid During UTI
Some foods and drinks tend to exacerbate UTI symptoms either by irritating the bladder or by increasing bacterial growth. These foods should be avoided when infected.
- Caffeine: Drinks like coffee, tea, and chocolate irritate the bladder and may worsen the symptoms. It is an excellent time to reduce or eliminate it when an infection is living inside.
- Alcohol: Alcohol depresses the body’s ability to flush off the bacteria through dehydration and irritation of the bladder.
- Spicy Food: Chilies and other spicy foods might irritate the bladder and aggravate the symptoms of a UTI.
- Artificial Sweeteners: Avoid the sweetener aspartame as it could irritate the bladder or increase the symptoms of UTI.
- Carbonated Beverages: Carbonated beverages can irritate the bladder, hence worsening the symptoms of UTI.
- Acidic Foods: Overindulgence in citrus fruits and the like may enhance irritation of the bladder, thereby worsening the symptoms.
- Processed Foods: Rich sugar and refined carbohydrates reduce the strength of the immune system, and thereby, your body becomes a receptive field to infection.
Additional Recommendations for UTI Patients
- Hydration: Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily, which will help in flushing out the bacteria from the urinary tract.
- Urination: Should not retain urine for a long time; frequent urination will prevent bacteria accumulation.
- Hygiene: Maintaining hygiene will minimize the chance of any infection, more specifically after using toilets.
- Pants: Cotton underwear with a minimum moisture level helps the bacteria not multiply well.
- Urinate After Intercourse: Urination after sexual activity helps to flush out the bacteria from the urinary tract, thus lessening the infection.
One would follow the proper diet for recurring UTIs to be as rare an event as possible and to speed up recovery. A diet rich in water, cranberries, probiotics, and all kinds of fiber helps maintain urinary health while fighting infections. Conversely, prevention of bladder irritants in the form of caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods may prevent the worsening of UTI symptoms.
Using the diet chart for UTI patients, will enhance the potential of your body to fight infection and you will be better positioned to enjoy good health since the chance of your UTIs becoming recurrent is lower than the minimum level.
