I suffer from cystitis regularly usually twice a year sometimes more or maybe less. I know it my diet that is a trigger but I don't know exactly what foods are causing it. I am being careful by not having coffee/yoghurts/cream cakes or anything too rich and chocolates but after a period of time it returns again. I drink mainly water or hot water sometimes. Can you help?

Hi Jenny,

We have a blog on which foods to eat and those to avoid if you suffer from cystitis which I hope you'll find useful:

Drinking water daily is really important so definitely keep this habit up; I always recommend at least 1.5l daily. 

Our remedy Uva-ursi may help at the time of a flare up in your symptoms and Cranberry, Golden Rod Tea and female probiotics may be useful to help support the urinary tract in the longer term.

Although we don't sell the female probiotics, our friends over at Jan de Vries do or these should be available in local health food stores too. 

I hope this helps,

Best wishes,

Emma
