I have had good luck with both coloidal silver and bee propolis for urinary infections. Using both is a good bet!Replied by T (Baltimore, Md, USA) on 08/19/2009
The doc says no infection revealed, but it still sounds like the same symptoms to me, so I wonder if she's got a low-level infection anyway. I had that long ago - the tests in the doctor's office said there was nothing, but a test they sent out showed infection after all. That "must be psychological" line seems to be the standard fallback when a doctor doesn't have a clue and won't admit it. I'd certainly think about changing doctors!
You could try D-mannose - it's a natural sugar which binds to bacteria and stops them from sticking to the bladder lining so they can "wash out". It's helped a lot of people who have suffered UTI problems. Research it online for pros and cons and best usage. Be sure she's drinking plenty of water and eating a good diet (stay away from refined sugars and food dyes). Also think about chemicals that may be in your laundry soap that might be contributing to the problem. Hope she has relief soon - let us know how it goes!Replied by Hannah (Oslo, Norway) on 08/19/2009
Hi. A very effective remedy is one drop of Lugols iodine in a glass of orange juice and 1/8 of a level teaspoon of Borax (dissolve the borax in a tablespoon of hot water before you add it to the juice. Get her off all kinds of fluoride.
She can take this daily for a week; you should then see an improvement; after that give her the combo 2-3 times a week as maintenance.

Hello Sumesh,
There could be several things to do to help your daughter. First off, if you don't drink enough water during the day, you will have frequency of urination with decreased output. If this is the problem, encourage her to drink more WATER. You will quickly see an improvement with increased water intake.
The second thing that comes to mind is carbonated beverages. If she is drinking carbonated beverages start having her drink water instead of carbonated beverages. There is nothing but sugar, chemicals for flavoring & taste, but no nutrition except for the extra unneeded calories in the sugar. Why waste money for something that is detrimental to the kidneys instead of spending in on better nutrition? The only drinks I recommend for children (or teens or adults) are water, natural fruit juices, milk or teas (herbal & regular). Coffee is ok for adults but don't overdo it. But children who drink carbonated beverages are probably getting as much caffeine from them as they would get from coffee.
I don't know how popular bubble baths are in India, but this is something else that I don't recommend to be used, especially with children. They are known to cause bladder irritation and infection.Replied by Karin (Edmonton, Ab, Canada) on 06/02/2010
Definitely agree with NOT using bubble baths for children, especially girls.Replied by Rowena (Hershey, Pa) on 01/21/2012
Bells Bladder tea helps to soothe and relax the bladder, also high absorbency magnesium to relieve bladder spasm, d-mannose, a grapefruit derivative that carries out unwanted material. But my question is, is she being sexually molested, abused? This could be explored.Replied by Stacey (Amarillo, Texas) on 04/19/2012
Sounds like she has interstitial cystitis. I've had it for years now and don't know of any natural remedy. Please find a urologist well versed in this disease to take your daughter to. This disease is incredibly painful and it is NOT all in her head. I always feel like I have an infection but there is none present. Once you know what you are actually dealing with it will make it easier to find a remedy.
