Suggest Ways To Prevent UTI When On HCG Diet

Hi, I recently started the HCG diet. I m talking the oral drops and not the injections through a diet clinic along with multi vitamins, omega 3 and a daily detox from the center. Also, the calorie intake is around 1200 per day. After 3 days I developed an Acute UTI. The ER doctor also thought I had passed a kidney stone, even though it did not show on the CT. I was told there were traces of blood in my urine and that is why she assumed I had passed the stone. Could this be related to the hcg drops? Or, is this a coincidence...I have a family history with kidney stones that have never done the HCG diet. what is the best way to prevent future episodes of uti s and/or kidney stones? I m doubling my water intake and added cranberry supplements. Thank you for any help, Anne

Hello,

I too think you're passing kidney stones. Although not notable on CT, sometimes they are hidden on the posterior pathways, and get unnoticed. It's great you're doubling water intake and added cranberry supplements.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
