If experiences such as Ernie's are frequent, then cranberry juice would bear watching. Both bladder and urinary tract infections are more apt to occur as we age, and antibiotics, while effective, pose their own set of problems. A number of studies show that about 10 ounces of cranberry juice daily prevents more than half of these infections, without the side effects of antibiotics. So I have had high hope that this would be a good recommendation for PWP. Please do let me know if any of you have had experiences such as Ernie describes. If this occurs with any frequency, then I must rethink my recommendations.
