Most bladder infections are caused by the Escherichia coli bacterium, that normally is found in the intestines. More women are subjected to bladder infections because of the shorter, more easily infected urinary ducts. 

Bladder infections can cause symptoms such as burning or painful urination, possible fever, thirst, cloudy or blood-tinged urine or the sensation to urinate. UTI is an infection that thrives in an environment that is created by eating too many acid-forming foods. It is important to avoid refined sugar and sugary foods, red meat, fried foods and boxed foods. 

Helpful foods: steamed vegetables, rice, lima and kidney beans, carrots, celery, squash, asparagus, mushrooms. Helpful liquids include; warm water with lemon juice, cranberry juice, juiced asparagus/celery/watermelon seeds.
