so Im meeting with my doctor today about a possible UTI but Ive been told to be constantly drinking 100% cranberry juice but Im scared with all that sugar...I know drinking this is for my health but Im still scared. Not to mention thats basically my only consimption of calories within the past 24 hours

    Cranberry juice is excellent for urinary health. But why aren't you eating any solid food?

    You can do what you Dr. said...but buy non sweetened cranberry juice and and a no cal sweetener.

    But, if it were me, I would just drink more water. I cant see your diary so I dont know how much you drink. But unless you have a medical condition that causes chronic UTI's, water should be enough to keep you flushed out.

    Well...hopefully, you got the 100% cranberry juice w/ no additional sweeteners (ie: sugar, corn syrup). Having a couple of glasses a day just until you are feeling better shouldn't do much harm. The water is the most important thing. Also, AZO sells a cranberry supplement...usually right beside the urinary tract infection medicine. That would be a low cal option. Just keep pumping that water.
