Alanis, we've got another case!

Today, I had an allergic reaction to cranberry juice. The only reason I was drinking cranberry juice was to help with a bladder infection. Now I'm covered in what looks like a rash and peeing constantly. FML

Cranberry Juice is usually more of a "preventative" measure. And if you have a bladder infection, see a doctor because the chances of juice helping THAT drastically is very minimal. Maybe a little bit, but you'd be better off with medication.

There are pills that have the active ingredients for cranberries at drug stores! Try those!

the point of the juice is to change the pH level of ur urine. water will not do this. drink acidic juices like pineapple/orange juice. if u change the pH level it will kill off the bacteria that are colonizing the bladder.

D-manos. It's the best for bladder infections. You can buy it at any supplement store.

I am pretty sure your doctor prescribed some medicine and stuff just take those and hopefully you will be fine.

Wow OP that sucks a lot. Especially that bladder infection, once you've had it there is a chance you will get it more often. FYL

FYL even if you weren't allergic. Cranberry juice tastes like old grape and apple juice mixed together. Blecch!

Any acidic juice will work. Drink water to flush it out too but not just water. Theres something in cranberries that works better but you have no choice. It's cheaper than pills.

why not go to a doctor and they will tell you what to do and prob give you medicine to help the problem go away but I guess saving money is better then being in good health
