So last night having the dreaded feeling that a uti was coming on I quickly drank a boatload of lemon juice and water and then tried an old remedy I hadn't tried before since I really needed relief: I made a tea with 8oz hot water, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and honey to taste. Wow! relief came within 30 minutes (no more pressure, burning etc.) I still have some lingering symptoms this morning, but I think these will go away with more lemon and water and increasing the cranberry tablets to 3x/day today and tomorrow.
I would not reccommend self medicating in lieu of a doctor for an advanced uti--cloudy or blood clotted urine or pain in the back.
But the apple cider vinegar worked fabulously for this early stage.

I used to get UTIs almost once a month, and I got real tired of going to the Dr. so I searched online and searched and searched and finally found out about using Alka Seltzer. So if you are in a bind, and don't have all that stuff in your tea close by, you can drink a glass of alka selzer, and it's not just the pain reliever that helps, it's also one of the medications in it that releases the bacteria.

Im going to have to remember to try these. I get those dumb UTIs all the time and lemon juice and water doesn't help for anything anymore. Cranberry capsules are a great follow up but not a big help in the rush to heal dept. Thanks for sharing these tips for coping,. ;)

I was having them all the time and a friend told me about her grandmothers remedy. Cook aspargus and drink the juice that it is cooked in, eat the aspargus if you want. It worked no more UTIs, Something in aspargus cleanses the bladder and kidneys. Now I don't like aspargus but I was desperate.

I've never tried ACV. Thank you!
Usually when I feel one coming on I buy a gallon of cranberry juice (no sugar!!) and guzzle away. :)
