Cranberry Juice. Hippuric acid, a compound that is naturally found in the cranberry, prohibits the growth of the E coli virus. Pure cranberry juice contains antioxidants that prohibit bacteria from adhering to the walls of the bladder and urethra, making it difficult for infection to spread and grow. For maximum effect, drink 3 8-oz servings of unsweetened cranberry juice daily and watch your symptoms improve.
