You've been seeing nonsense, online probably. Spicy foods have no effect on UTI or its symptoms, and UTI requires no dietary changes of any kind. Eat whatever you like!

Spicy usually refers to hot peppers and some mixed spice powders containing them. Hot peppers are an irritant to the inner lining of the urinary tract which is inflamed during a UTI and can increase the burning and discomfort . Good luck So if you use spices with no hot peppers you will be OK. You can eat white bread and sugar. Good luck. Dont forget water!
