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
