What princess said. Unless you have some other kidney problem, eating additional protein shouldn't cause a problem.

what about cranberry

cranberry is not really proven as a supplement. It has been shown to have no real effect for treating kidney function problems or tract infections. It just makes you pee more, which means it works your kidneys more.

Cranberry inhibits E Coli from adhering to the wall of the bladder thus preventing urinary tract infections

Post by: gibberj2 on June 14, 2006, 04:25:03 PM: i'm not worried about infections. can't you get stones if you're on high protein for many years?

to an extent. Also many studies say that the lack of adhesion may be due to increased fluid consumption.
