Try D-Mannose: Over 90% of UTI's are caused by E.coli bacteria and taking D-mannose powder (a type of sugar found in cranberries; we can't digest is so it does not add calories) is a safe reliable way to prevent UTI's. See http://www.tahomaclinicblog.com/d-mannose-for-bladder-and-kidney-infections/ & http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/04/28/d-mannose-uti-prevention.aspx for details.
