Mereja,
I don't know how much water you are drinking but I must tell you that it is very important that you drink a minimum of 64 ounces per day. I did not do this at first as I had a leaky bladder and didn't want to leak more that it was already. I drank maybe 20-30 ounces per day and I came down with a severe infection that produced calcium oxylate crystals (protein) in my urine. The crystals are what caused my infection, not ecoli. If I had been drinking the correct amount of water, this would not have happened to me.

I had none of the symptoms of a typical UTI as I had no burning on urination and no constant need to pee. What I did have was a fever over 103. for 36 hours, violent chills, aches and generally very sick feeling. went in for testing of my blood and urine and thats when it was found that I had crystals which caused the infection.

I hope this helps you!!
