Apple juice and UTI': Yes - any juice is good to drink while under treatment for a UTI - it won't treat the infection but the fluid will help more you want to urinate and flush your body. It was once thought that acidic juices ie cranberry helped but the amount of sugar in cranberry drinks defeats that purpose. Any increased fluid intake will help during UTI's

No: It has too much sugar. may worsen the infection. Use a zinc supplement 50 mg/day with food (NOW brand is good) for 3-4 days.
