DEAR DR. GOTT:
I want to tell you about my experience with vitamin C tablets to stop urinary tract infections. My urologist suggested two vitamin C tablets (1000 mg each) daily. I have been free of UTIs for many years with this remedy. My urologist said it is more difficult for an infection to take hold in acidic urine.
DEAR READER:
Your urologist is right on the money. Vitamin C helps to increase the amount of acid in urine. As a result, the bladder is not an appealing environment for harmful bacteria. You have found a remedy that works for you and may help other readers. Thank you for writing.
