UTI’s are a common ailment for women, most widely treated by antibiotics — but did you know they don’t need to be?

As I’ve discussed before, the overuse of antibiotics is a real problem that affects us ALL. The evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (like MRSA) is becoming more widespread, so it’s really our duty to ourselves and future generations to use alternative products whenever possible.

When I was pregnant with my second child, I actually went into preterm labor because of an asymptomatic UTI. I was only 21 weeks along, so it was quite scary. We needed to cure it as soon as possible. Only problem? I was allergic to the antibiotics that were safe to use during pregnancy for urinary tract infections. What to do? I didn’t want to take something that could harm my baby, but also needed to get well to save my baby. My midwife recommended [Cranactin, a cranberry extract in capsule form.](http://amzn.to/2mSnV4S)

It was miraculous!

So much better than trying to drink glass after glass of cranberry juice (which I hate anyway) and super effective because it’s so concentrated. It’s even clinically proven.

Plus, it’s incredibly safe. During that pregnancy, for whatever reason, I kept getting asymptomatic UTI’s as per my urine samples every visit. We decided that I should remain on [Cranactin](http://amzn.to/2mSnV4S) for the duration of the pregnancy to keep the infection at bay…and boy did it work! She was born 4 days after her due date, after all that stressing about keeping her in!

If you are prone to UTI’s, keeping a bottle of this in your medicine cabinet is a must. It will save you loads of time and money, too. You’ll avoid the copay and time wasted at a doctor’s visit, and avoid the pharmacy. Plus, you protect your gut flora — which can actually help you prevent more UTI’s in the future.

### How Can I Prevent UTI’s?

If you’re especially prone to them, you can do as I did during my pregnancy, and take Cranactin more regularly. BUT…there’s actually something better…PROBIOTICS!

The same fantastic probiotic blend I took to[ finally cure my bacterial vaginosis (BV)](http://www.amyonfyre.com/2017/01/23/5009/bacterial-vaginosis), is actually also effective at preventing UTI’s. Our gut flora is pertinent to our female health in general. (Honestly, to everything about our health, but that’s a story for a different day.) I highly recommend [checking out these probiotics](http://amzn.to/2mNxWQ0) as a way to help your body fight off these infections in the long-term.
