In 8 days I leave for my very first cruise ever! I am beyond excited…I think you know this, since I’ve talked about it a bunch of times! So imagine my upset when I wake up Monday morning and I know I have a UTI. Talk about bad timing. Not only are UTI’s not fun to deal with (who likes to pee repeatedly all day long?), but I do not want to be on antibiotics this close to my trip. A friend had been telling me about Grapefruit Seed Extract and all the wonderful benefits. Could that help me with my UTI?

What is Grapefruit Seed Extract?
So, my friend Lynsey had been telling me about Grapefruit Seed Extract (I like this one

Did It Work?
The next morning, I woke up with zero UTI symptoms. I was stunned! Without a shadow of a doubt, I knew I had a UTI. You see, when I was pregnant with my daughter, due to the way she was laying in utero, she caused me to have a UTI each and every month (but one) for the entire pregnancy. So if there is one thing I can confidently diagnose myself with, it’s a UTI! Since I already had an appointment and canceling the day of would cost me a $35 fee, which was more than my copay, I went to the appointment.
The first words out of the doctors mouth when she walked in was “why did you think you had a UTI?”. I went through my symptoms and then told her that I started taking Grapefruit Seed Extract yesterday. I half expected her to poo poo the Grapefruit Seed Extract, but she didn’t! She actually told me that two other patients had told her about this stuff this month!
So…did it work?!? It appears, that it did indeed work for me! My urine sample showed trace amounts of white blood cells which she said shows her that I did have an infection, but I no longer had anything worth taking an antibiotic for at all! She actually told me to continue taking the Grapefruit Seed Extract! Between this and my love for Apple Cider Vinegar, I’m good to go!

+I am in no way a doctor nor am I recommending you purchase this product and take it without your doctors recommendation. I am simply sharing my experience, one that has doctor approval.
Woah, I’ve never heard of this. I know so many women that have re-occuring UTI’s this might be just perfect for them
Definitely talk to your doctor about it, but mine told me that Grapefruit Seed Extract is great to take daily. She read studies on how it can help boost the immune system.
I have a friend that deals with a lot of UTIS. I bet she would love to try this!!.
We’ve used the liquid one you shared a picture of above for when we were sick. I didn’t know about this use. I am happy you shared this!
I take the Grapefruit Seed Extract pills every single day.
This is great to know! I always drink cranberry juice for UTIs but dont’ always have it in the house. This would be so much more convenient.
I take it every single day.
I never knew this could help with UTI! Its been a while for me but my sister has them all the time it seems,
Im going to pass this info on hopefully it helps!
I was always told to drink cranberry juice and that stuff is disgusting! I’m going to try this the next time.
How much did you take for UTI?
I take the Grapefruit Seed Extract according to the directions on the back of the bottle.
