Urinary tract disorder maybe

about a week ago, i was showing all the symptoms of urinary tract infection, and ive been eating and drinking a ton of vitamin c. for some reason, whatever it is that i have wont go away. now, not only does it hurt like hell when i pee, but my stomach feels like its going to explode. i plan on going to a doctor but i was wondering if anyone knew what was going on or anything before i go to the doctor and spend $200 so she can tell me what i might already know. anyone know whats wrong?

First of all pounding down all the vitamin C Why? Vitamin C can certainly make you more acidic鈥?vitamin C is also water-soluble so it passes out through the urine. If you take too much your body does its best to eliminate it. Of course this is going to go through your kidneys and bladder and if it's too acidic it can certainly burn鈥?this could of course lead to a bladder infection.

Your stomach going to feel like it's going to explode??鈥? vitamin C can cause ulcers. Never take vitamin C and aspirin together really bad combination. Get off the vitamin C kick, stay away from grapefruit or orange juice. If antacids give you some quick relief then you might want to look at over-the-counter Prilosec. This stops your stomach from producing acids you can take it along with antacids. Also an ulcer can be quite serious so if the pain continues get to the doctor.

Cranberry juice is a good idea because it contains chemicals that actually fight the bacteria infection. It's best to drink as much as possible and pee like crazy as this helps flush out an infection. But since you're stomach is irritated don't drink too much at one time 鈥?spread it out so that you're not expanding your stomach too much which will also be painful if it's raw.
