You can get capsules of concentrated cranberry essence at your health
food store.
Or you can get Ocean Spray Lite Style cranberry drinks, sweetened with
Splenda. I find that too sweet, so I drink it as half juice, half water.
Or you can get pure cranberry juice and dilute and sweeten it to your
taste.

Better hygiene would be a good start.

In the FFID universe, 800 cal can magically cause weight gain.

JC, why are you continuing to post with all that crap below? Are you aware
of it?

That's his signature. He's aware of it.
I'm not sure why JC has decided he's Lyle McDonald's bulldog, though.
He's not exactly an ambassador of goodwill here, either.

Attention, pure and simple. JC panics when someone else comes along
with better troll qualities.

Tsk, JC - hygiene often has nothing to do with cystitis in women (Google for
'honeymoon cystitis' sometime, <g>). Some people are just more prone to it
than others, and especially women because our urethras are so much shorter
(much shorter path to the bladder than you menfolk have, <g>).
Jacqueline, I also concur with trying cranberry in pill form and seeing if
that works for you. Most pharmacies carry the brand "Azo Cranberry" (it's
the same people who make Azo-Standard [phenazopyridine HCl], the stuff that
takes away the burning/urgency and turns your urine dark orange). The main
reason I say that isn't because it fits better with LC - it is because you
almost have to drink gallons of cranberry juice daily to really get enough
to do you a lot of good, while the pill form is more concentrated.

Agreed. Pure cranberry juice has a very dry after-taste. Here in Europe,
Ocean Spray market Cranberry and Rasberry Juice mix. Even with that, we
dilute it 50/50 with carbonated water.

There are priorities in life and some of them outrank weight loss. This
one outranks weight loss. Take your medicine, count the carbs, do your
best to keep the rest of your carb count for the day within reason. Do
not go ballastic that you can't create a miraculous "take your medicine
and be in ketosis, too" situation.
