Apples are one of those foods that I've noticed help Number 2 along.

A food that helps UTI symptoms is asparagus. It's a natural diuretic. It's also a natural laxative. So, that's a happy bonus for the people who need the extra help.


Asparagus is also really really really really really tasty. One of the few veggies that I will happily gobble down. (really good when they're buried under a pile of mashed potatoes...and the potatoes keep the asparagus hot)

Asparagus makes your pee smell funky, not exactly an unpleasant scent...Only 22% of the population has the gene that gives them the ability to smell "asparagus pee". I'm one of that 22%.

I love asparagus, but dont eat it as often as I want to because it makes me spend a ton of time in the potty. But it's been great when I have a UTI. It helps that it's so tasty too.
